Contingent Development Resources

Your Trusted Team To Help Weather The Storm

FFW helps weather the storm and maintain digital experience progress

Feeling the resource pinch?

These are unprecedented times. Whether it's stagnant budgets, team member reductions, or any other reallocation of resources, organizations of all types and sizes are scrambling with the common challenge of navigating a new uncertain reality significantly limiting resources. Unlike past economic downturns, the storm we’re in happened swiftly and unexpectedly.

The world was a different place at the promising start of this year. Goals were established, new projects and plans for growth were developed. The eye of this storm and its effects on available resources represents the preeminent question: What do we do now?

A Sophie’s Choice situation:

Play it safe -or- Play to win?

The answer to this question has dire consequences not only on the current and near-future stability of your company, but also its long-term viability and success. For almost everyone, there’s no immediately obvious answer. Scaling down your investment into your digital platform significantly increases risk, including the stability, security, and performance of your website. It also risks potential growth opportunity resulting in a long term competitive disadvantage.

On the other hand, maintaining a full time dedicated team and continued investment of resources represents a financial risk when there’s no room for error. Maintaining investments dedicated to the maintenance and progress of your digital platform can help you fully leverage your organization's hard work, while also likely reducing stresses in other client touch point areas.

Risks of Reducing Resources Dedicated to Your Digital Platform:

  • Increased risk of site deprecation, instability, and resource inaccessibility
  • Can increase stress on other client communication channels (heavy call volumes, delayed response times)
  • Declining client experience leading to increased attrition
  • Unmanageable workload for understaffed in-house teams
  • Compromised long-term competitiveness

We have seen organizations face this decision many times. In this time of uncertainty, this much is certain: In-person customer and prospect service and communication is no longer solely reliable, or perhaps even possible at the moment. Providing a successful digital experience for your customers in this current state is a mandatory. Your organization’s dedicated investment into maintaining and improving your digital landscape cannot falter.

Organizations reliant on traditional customer footfall to deliver their experience will be challenged to compete in this new world.

So what do we do now?

Not sure where to start, or if you have a need?

Comprehensive Site Audit

Identifying the imminent risks and needs of your website can be an ideal place to start. A comprehensive technical audit of your digital platform can expose key stability, security, and accessibility needs. These represent foundational manadatories, which if not addressed could very well exacerbate the already risk-prone climate of this stressful time for your organization, and perhaps more importantly, effect a digital experience falling far short of your clients and prospects expectations.
