Executive Summary

Small and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) face an unprecedented challenge: technology has become mission-critical, yet access to affordable, integrated tech teams remains out of reach.

Motomtech’s Marketplace-Driven Technology Department as a Service (TDaaS) changes that equation. By combining the flexibility of a marketplace with the structure and accountability of a managed service, SMBs gain access to full, enterprise-grade tech teams—ready in weeks, not months.

This white paper explores why a marketplace model is the natural evolution of IT outsourcing, how it addresses SMB pain points, and why it outperforms traditional freelance platforms and agencies.

The Limitations of Traditional Models

Freelance Platforms (Upwork, Fiverr, etc.):

• Individual contractors, not integrated teams.

• No guaranteed collaboration or delivery standards.

• Clients bear the burden of project management.

Traditional Agencies & Dev Shops:

• Higher costs with rigid contracts.

• Limited scope—often focused on development, without addressing cloud, security, compliance, or ongoing IT support.

• Slow onboarding and scaling.

Internal Hiring:

• High fixed costs for salaries and benefits.

• Long recruitment cycles.

• Talent gaps across specialized roles.

The Motomtech Marketplace Model

Our marketplace connects SMBs with pre-vetted, role-diverse tech professionals under one managed structure. Clients can subscribe to an entire Technology Department including:

• Software Development: Web, mobile, APIs

• Cloud & DevOps: Scalable infrastructure management

• IT Systems & Support: Continuous uptime & productivity

• Cybersecurity & Compliance: SOC 2 readiness, data protection

How It Works:

1. Needs Assessment: We scope roles & hours.

2. Team Assembly: Marketplace matches vetted professionals.

3. Ongoing Management: Project managers ensure alignment and delivery.

4. Scalability: Add or remove roles as needs change.

Why a Marketplace-Driven TDaaS Works for SMBs

• Teams are operational in 2 weeks—compared to 2–6 months for internal hires.

Flexibility:

• Subscription-based—no long-term employment commitments.
