Services

  • What are managed services?

    • Outsource operations of targeted applications, services, and functions to dedicated professionals to ensure business and IT continuity while freeing up employees to focus on strategic projects.

       

      By using managed services, your company can focus on your core business functions and rely on us to ensure your IT systems are running smoothly.

  • Managed services workflow

    • 01. Ideation

      In the Ideation phase, we work closely with clients to assess their IT needs and objectives. By analyzing their existing infrastructure, we identify areas for improvement and explore opportunities for optimization. This helps us develop a clear understanding of the client's requirements, laying a strong foundation for the rest of the outsourcing process.

    • 02. Scoping & Biz Case

      Our team works closely with clients to gain a thorough understanding of their project goals and objectives. We then conduct a detailed analysis to determine the feasibility and potential benefits of outsourcing, developing a business case that outlines the project scope, budget, and expected ROI.

    • 03. KPIs / SLA

      We work closely with our clients to identify the critical metrics that align with their business objectives, ensuring that our service delivery meets or exceeds their expectations. This enables us to set clear, measurable targets for the project and establish an SLA that ensures accountability for the quality and performance of our services.

    • 04. Dashboards

      At this stage, we create customized dashboards that provide our clients with real-time visibility into project performance. By using these dashboards, clients can track progress and gain insights into the project's health, enabling them to make informed decisions and ensure the project stays on track.

    • 05. Knowledge transfer

      During the knowledge transfer phase, we collaborate with our clients to ensure that our team has a clear understanding of the processes, procedures, and technologies currently in use. We identify any knowledge gaps and provide training to our team members as needed. This ensures a seamless transfer of responsibilities and minimizes any potential disruptions.

    • 06. Kick-off

      During the kick-off phase, we set the foundation for a successful outsourcing project by holding a formal launch meeting. We bring together all relevant stakeholders to ensure everyone is aligned and informed about the project's scope, objectives, timelines, and deliverables. We also establish clear communication channels and set up regular check-ins to monitor project progress and address any potential issues.

    • 07. Service provisioning

      Our team of experts provides the services that were agreed upon with our clients, with an unwavering commitment to delivering high-quality results. We continuously monitor and evaluate the project's progress to ensure that it meets our clients' expectations and requirements.

    • 08. Optimization

      At this stage, we strive for continuous improvement in our services and processes to ensure our clients receive the maximum value from their outsourcing engagement. We review our performance against KPIs and SLAs and implement necessary changes to enhance efficiency, quality, and productivity. Our team also provides regular feedback and recommendations to clients to support their ongoing business growth and development.

FAQ

  • What are the differences between hiring an employee on an employment contract and B2B?

    • B2B and employment contracts primarily differ regarding the body of law to which the parties of a contract are subject. For an employment contract, it is the Polish Labor Code, and for B2B contracts it is the Civil Code.

      The tax and social security payment liability is one of the more significant differences. The employer covers these costs for an employee under an employment contract. In the case of a B2B contract, the costs are borne by the contractor. 

      In addition, an employee on an employment contract is provided with paid vacation (20 or 26 days depending on tenure), paid sick leave, and additional days off for occasional special situations (funerals, births, etc.). An individual on a B2B contract may be provided with paid vacation under the terms of a gentleman's agreement with the employer.

      Both contracts also differ in their notice periods: for an employment contract, the notice period ranges from 2 weeks to 3 months, while for a B2B contract, it is flexible, but usually 1 month.

  • How long does it take you to deliver a specialist/a team of specialists?

    • It depends upon the role, its complexity, and technical requirements. Usually, it takes us between 5 and 15 working days to fill a vacancy.

  • How do Link Group’s contractors report their working hours?

    • It works both ways: Contractors monitor and report their hours directly in the client's ATS system, where at the end of each month managers approve them or conduct the hourly reports in their Spreadsheets (also approved by managers).
