IT Resource Augmentation
Add hands to your team, without the hiring cycle
Dedicated developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, and data engineers, sourced and managed through our Sri Lanka delivery center and embedded directly into your team on a monthly retainer. Same talent pool we use to staff our own projects, managed by a named contact who actually checks in.
1–3 Weeks
Typical time to deploy, versus 2–4 months for a direct UAE hire
40–60%
Lower than the fully loaded cost of an equivalent UAE hire, based on Sri Lanka vs UAE rates*
No Visa Admin
Placed staff work remotely, so there is no UAE visa or local onboarding paperwork on your side
2-Week Guarantee
Free replacement if a placement isn't working out
*Compares the fully loaded cost of an equivalent UAE hire, including visa, medical and end-of-service gratuity, with Sri Lanka-based delivery.
What's included
Real team members, not a name on an invoice
- Dedicated developers, QA engineers, DevOps specialists, and data or ML engineers, sourced from our Sri Lanka delivery center.
- A monthly retainer model, not a fixed-scope project, so you scale up or down as your roadmap changes.
- A named account contact who checks in weekly, not a resume dropped in your inbox.
- Real onboarding, with process documentation, not “here's a login, good luck.”
- Access to the same dedicated team and vetting process we use on our own projects.
- A no-cost replacement within the first two weeks if a placed person isn't the right fit.
Roles we place
Start with one role, scale from there
Developers (web, mobile, backend), QA and test engineers, DevOps and infrastructure specialists, and data or ML engineers. Engagements start at a single augmented role and scale up as your needs grow, billed monthly for as long as you need the extra capacity.
Why It Matters
The skills gap is real, and local hiring is slow
Most UAE companies report they can't find the technical skills they need locally, and a direct hire typically takes two to four months once you account for visa processing and onboarding. Augmented staff deploy in one to three weeks instead, with no visa processing or local onboarding on your side.

How we deliver
Embedded, not outsourced into a black box
Placed staff work inside your existing tools, your existing process, and your existing team, not a separate remote silo you have to manage around. A named account contact checks in weekly so small friction gets caught before it becomes a bigger problem, and if a placement genuinely isn't working out, we replace them at no cost within the first two weeks.
Who It's For
Teams that need more hands, not a new process
UAE tech-forward companies already running an agile engineering process, particularly in fintech, healthtech, proptech, and logistics, who just need more capacity. Also a strong fit for UAE-based SI and consultancy firms that need overflow capacity for their own client work.
Why Vanguard Oasis
Built on our own engineering bench, not a staffing list
Our Sri Lanka team is the same dedicated engineering group that builds our own software and runs our projects, managed by us, not a staffing list we draw from when an order comes in.
