Executive Summary

Many small and mid-sized businesses rely on freelance marketplaces to fill technology needs. While this can work for one-off projects, managing a network of disconnected freelancers often results in higher costs, slower delivery, and fragmented systems.

Motomtech’s Technology Department as a Service (TDaaS) model replaces the unpredictability of freelancers with a fully integrated, scalable, and accountable tech team — delivering measurable ROI in both the short and long term.

The Hidden Costs of Freelancers

At first glance, freelance rates may seem lower than hiring a full team. However, hidden costs quickly add up:

• Management Overhead: Time spent coordinating multiple contractors instead of focusing on business growth.

• Inconsistent Quality: Varying skill levels and approaches cause rework and delays.

• Integration Challenges: Different tools, processes, and coding styles create long-term maintenance problems.

• Security Risks: Lack of unified compliance protocols leaves businesses exposed.

Motomtech’s TDaaS model delivers:

1. Integrated Expertise: Developers, designers, cloud engineers, and IT support work together under a unified strategy.

2. Predictable Costs: Subscription-based pricing reduces budgeting uncertainty.

3. Speed to Market: Teams are ready in as little as 2 weeks.

4. Reduced Downtime: Dedicated support prevents operational interruptions.
