Is your IT outsourcing strategy building real value, or just generating uncontrolled costs? Many companies find themselves trapped between low-cost “body shops” that fail on quality and high-priced consulting firms that deliver nothing but expensive slide decks. In this episode of Euvic Talks, Bartek Śliwa and Chris Krzoska (COO of Euvic US) deconstruct the flaws in the modern IT partnership model.
Drawing from his experience building systems for global brands like Subway and Dunkin’, Chris explains how to merge world-class engineering with American business pragmatism. Learn how to effectively scale your technology debt-free and deliver ROI instead of just more lines of code.
IT Partner Selection Strategy: Key Takeaways
To successfully manage technology in a competitive market, you must change how you evaluate providers. In this episode, we discuss:
- Outsourcing Pitfalls: Why low hourly rates often hide massive long-term costs and why “slide-heavy” consulting fails to deliver market-ready products.
- The 3-Filter Framework: A proven model for vetting IT partners based on technical talent, cultural alignment, and total cost efficiency.
- Process Over Bureaucracy: Why a 4-week Strategic Discovery Workshop is more effective than a grueling 6-month RFP process.
- AI in Business Strategy: Why understanding the business domain is now more critical for developers than the act of coding itself.
