Augmenting Development Teams in Life Sciences: Flexible Expertise When You Need It Most
In today’s fast-paced Med Device and Pharma environments, software development needs can shift rapidly. Whether you’re scaling up to meet project demands, integrating new systems, or maintaining validated applications, having the right development expertise at the right time is critical.
At Dataworks, we’ve spent over 30 years helping Life Sciences companies — including 7 of the top 10 global leaders — overcome these challenges by augmenting their internal teams with highly skilled developers and technical experts.
Why Augmenting Development Teams Works
This type of staff augmentation approach ensures you have access to the exact expertise you need, when you need it.
Many of our clients come to us facing the same challenges:
- Their internal teams are stretched thin or lack specific skills.
- There’s pressure to deliver quickly without compromising quality.
- Legacy systems still require support while new applications are being developed.
- Project demand is unpredictable and peaks are hard to plan for.
Our Team Augmentation services are designed to address exactly these scenarios. This type of staff augmentation approach ensures you have access to the exact expertise you need, when you need it.
We provide experienced, project-ready developers and specialists who integrate seamlessly into your internal team. Whether you need short-term capacity or long-term collaboration, we offer flexible engagement models to suit your requirements.
What We Bring to the Table
Our developers are proficient in a wide range of technologies, including:
- .NET, Azure, Power BI, entire Power Platform, with experienced power platform developers and related Microsoft tech stack, supported by highly skilled Microsoft stack developers
- Oracle, SQL Server, Ignition, and Transaction Manager/Integration platforms
- GxP-compliant and non-regulated application environments
We don’t just bring technical skills — we bring domain knowledge and an understanding of regulated environments that enables us to hit the ground running with minimal onboarding time.
We also help maintain and modernise legacy systems, ensuring business continuity while paving the way for innovation.
