3 years with external developers - How high is the ROI?

Many companies are faced with the question: is it worth hiring in-house developers or does it make more sense to work with an IT service provider?

The return on investment plays an important role in this decision.

The ROI shows how profitable an investment was, for example, the development of an app or the integration of external developers into the team.

The agricultural fintech agriBORA has relied on a software development service provider from the outset.

The start-up has been developing its software-as-a-service platform with a dedicated team of developers from L-One Systems for three years. Dedicated means that the IT experts only work for agriBORA, and the external team has grown together with agriBORA.

Initially, L-One provided two developers. Today, three developers, an Engineering Manager, a Tech Lead and a Quality Assurance Manager from L-One Systems work for the start-up.

The medium-sized IT company movus from Vienna has developed new features for an existing software solution with L-One.

L-One was responsible for the project as an outsourcing partner from concept to release.

Eduard Ulrich, founder and Managing Director of movus, comments on the ROI of the collaboration:

"We will recoup the development costs in a year. If we had implemented the new version with our own resources, it would not have come onto the market so quickly. We have also avoided fixed costs thanks to L-One."
