Staff augmentation lets you skip 6-8 weeks of recruiting, payroll paperwork, and compliance headaches. With Smartbrain you plug vetted Java engineers with Athenahealth Practice Management expertise straight into sprints in 8 days. You pay only for productive hours, keep full IP ownership, and scale the team up or down on demand. No placement fees, no long-term lock-ins—just senior talent that already knows HIPAA, HL7, and Athenahealth APIs.
While direct hiring forces you to sift through hundreds of resumes, negotiate salaries, set up local benefits, and hope the candidate really understands Athenahealth workflows, outstaffing shifts all that risk to us. We conduct multilayer technical and soft-skills screening, manage payroll, provide equipment, and guarantee seamless timezone overlap with Japan or US offices. You stay focused on product delivery while we supply continuous, flexible capacity that can be ramped up for a release crunch or dialed down after go-live.
