What is Fractional Resourcing ?
Confronted with a stark new reality of availability of skilled technical resources, Inforica has come up with an innovative approach to this problem by introducing Inforica’s flexible remote engagement model of Fractional Technical and Functional resources who can be called on for:
- A complete project

- A Fixed priced engagement
Fractional Resourcing is the use of outside personnel on a temporary basis to augment the capacity of your project.

Advantages of Fractional Resourcing
Fractional Resourcing, like any organizational strategy, has its own advantages.
- Competent staff can immediately add value to the project
- Projects can quickly ramp up on specific short term skill sets without going through long drawn out hiring process
- Can smooth out peaks and valleys in the project resourcing needs
- Fractional Resourcing can be used as a trial run before hiring full time resources for those same positions.
