FRACTIONAL EXPERTISE
Leverage our expertise effectively and affordably
Fifth Step can provide the IT expertise you need in the way you want it. Our business model has been designed to support a range of options from providing Interim management through standard full-time contracts to expertise on a fractional basis and we think that's what sets us apart.
Your projects range in size but if we look at a typical medium to large size project with a total budget of say, £250k – £500k there are inevitably downtimes for the PM and the team. If the project is planned to take six-month, it’s common for the PM to be utilised around 65% of the time in total, sometimes less. Our model gives you the 35% difference as a saving before we apply methodology, experience, and capability to the work.
Fifth Step’s fractional resourcing model- Expertise and Experience when and as you need it in a cost-effective way.
