System integrators bring multiple subsystems together. System integrators, for instance, can help companies implement complex IT solutions by bringing together networking, data, and software elements into a seamless to provide a set of essential functions. The work is often detailed and highly customized to the need of the particular business in question.
VARs (value-added resellers) are similar in the sense that they sell product bundles to companies in combination to create solutions to their problems. VARs are essential for providing overall solutions to companies in the IT, telecommunications and technology sectors.
VARs and system integrators often don’t need to hire engineers full-time. Instead, they benefit most when they can acquire their expertise on-demand. But hiring people for one-off jobs can be a time-consuming and expensive process. Not only must VARs and system integrators incur search costs, but they must also arrange payment and perform their own monitoring.
