4 Key Reasons to Outsource Engineering Services

When you are encountering a loss in productivity because of a failed part, struggling to get past an obstacle in new product development or trying to keep costs down on a project, you may find that investing in outsourced engineering services is what you need to move forward.

What may initially seem like just an additional cost could prove to be beneficial to your bottom line. Here are a few reasons why:

•  The analysis you need on a part is something you have rarely, if ever, done, but an engineering team could complete the task quickly.
•   You’re realizing that you could end up going through multiple prototypes, a process that can become costly.
•  You need specialized services, and your in-house engineers are already buried with other aspects of the project. 

These are all common situations that lead companies to consider engineering services. You may be surprised by the benefits such an investment could bring to your project:

1. The Ability to Scale Quickly: Your project is going well; it’s simply moving too slowly. Hiring outside engineering services can help you scale up your team and finish within your timeline. This is a significant cost savings over trying to recruit, hire and train in-house additions to your engineering team. 
2. You Fill in Specialized Skills: It’s nearly impossible for a company to have every specialty engineering skill under its roof. When you need 3D modeling or Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on a project, this is a good time to turn a portion of your project over to a team with a lot of experience in these areas. 
3. You Get a Different Perspective: You know your business, but bringing in an engineering services team that has worked across different industries can introduce valuable ideas that may not otherwise be included in your project.
4. A Streamlined Project: From reducing the number of prototypes you’ll require to allowing your in-house team to move other segments of the project forward, investing in engineering services is a way to streamline your entire project.
