A partnership model, not bodyshopping
Team as a Service is a durable, scalable way to get work done: a multidisciplinary squad that delivers against your backlog with predictable budget, quality, and output. Not a revolving door of freelancers, and not a one-off project handover.
What you gain
- Operational from day one: A team that is already structured, led, and aligned - not months of hiring and onboarding.
- Predictable delivery: Clear rhythm, KPIs, and governance you can steer (velocity, quality, lead time).
- Stronger knowledge: Domain expertise that stays with the team instead of walking out with each consultant.
- Less overhead: Asist handles composition, HR, and continuity; you focus on priorities and outcomes.
- Higher throughput: Shorter lead times on change, integrations, and backlog reduction.
The team model
You get a full team - not individuals rented by the day. Asist composes the squad, ensures continuity, and holds the team accountable for results. You set direction, context, and priorities inside your landscape.
Typical roles in the squad
- Developers and engineers (mainframe, distributed, integration).
- Functional and technical analysts, testers, architects.
- DevOps, scrum master or delivery lead, project support as needed.
- Team lead: Single point for planning, communication, risk, and quality.
Shared ownership
- You bring: Business context, backlog, access, and acceptance of outcomes.
- Asist brings: The team, skills bench, employment, backfill, and delivery discipline.
Compared with individual consultants
- Mainframe consulting adds one role at a time; TaaS delivers a coherent unit with collective responsibility.
- Scale the squad up or down without long recruitment cycles each time.
How we deliver
The squad works inside your organisation - your tools, ceremonies, and standards - while feeling like an extension of your own teams. Choose the collaboration form that fits: Asist-only squad, blended with your staff, onsite, offsite, or hybrid.
Governance and rhythm
- Sprint or weekly planning, demos, and reporting aligned to your cadence (agile or waterfall).
- KPIs on velocity, quality, and lead time; transparent risk and issue tracking.
- Retrospectives and quarterly reviews on composition, satisfaction, and roadmap fit.
Ramp-up that de-risks the start
- First 30 days: Access, ways of working, objectives, and quick wins on the backlog.
- 60 and 90 days: Full throughput, tuned team mix, and agreed definition of success.
Commercial predictability
- Engagements are structured for predictable monthly team investment - with options aligned to velocity or productivity where that helps your transition.
