Application Development Services describes the outsourced work done by expert IT consultants and programmers hired by businesses and organizations to develop software or mobile applications.
Application Development Services support the entire lifecycle of an application, including:
- Initial concept and planning
- Development and testing
- Deployment
- Ongoing maintenance and enhancements
IT solutions for professional service providers can help throughout, or at any stage of the process.
IT Staff Augmentation Services can help you by filling job openings for contract workers, providing staff augmentation for projects, and supplying talent for direct hire or temp-to-hire opportunities in your department. Some staffing providers even handle placements of high-level senior IT positions that can be difficult to fill.
If you need IT consulting, professional services providers typically have pools of technical talent with whom they've worked over a period of time, so they are better able to source quality top talent in short timeframes than non-specialist recruiting services.
Businesses outsource project management roles to:
- Supplement internal staff
- Bring in experienced or industry-specific leadership
- Stay on schedule during high-demand periods
- Control costs and scale resources as needed
The benefits of working with outsourced project managers from an IT professional services company can include cost savings, high-level and project-specific expertise, certifications, and more. Current trends show steady increases in the use of outsourced project management roles.

IT Professional Services Case Studies
Quest’s IT professional services and professional IT consulting services help organizations overcome complex challenges that demand experienced technical support. The case studies below offer a closer look at how organizations benefit from our hands-on expertise.
Wholesale Outlet
When the decision was made to ditch the old, hard-to-use system for a friendlier VoIP capability, Wholesale Outlet also signed on to Quest’s Technical On-Call Support (TOCS) services. For Becca Schmidt, Administrative Director, the technical knowledge that Quest provided was key.
“We’d used Quest’s professional services for a number of years, calling ad hoc when we needed assistance,” Becca explains. “For our VoIP project, we wanted Quest involved in every stage, and their TOCS services provide a cost-effective way for us to get help whenever we need it from engineers who are knowledgeable about our situation.”
Samuel Merritt University
Every IT migration must be justified. For Marcus Walton, Director of IT Infrastructure at Samuel Merritt University (SMU), storage constraints and the need for a better collaborative environment stood out as the key drivers for a migration to Microsoft365.
“Using resources from Quest, we evaluated every aspect of our infrastructure that Microsoft 365 would touch,” Marcus says. “And we discovered areas we hadn’t considered that would have caused big headaches. But with resources from Quest we were able to correct, proactively plan, and execute with confidence.”
