Roskildefirma lends an extended hand to hard-hit companies

The Corona crisis is hitting many companies hard. But at the same time, new creative ideas flourish. A company in Roskilde now offers to employ other companies' IT employees in a voluntary scheme.

The past few months have been particularly tough for many Danish companies - and for some this may mean restructuring in the long run.

However, innovative business models have shown new opportunities during the crisis. In Roskilde, the company Supporters is now reaching out to IT employees and their managers in small and medium-sized companies who are faced with having to cut costs. 

Supporters are ready to employ the permanent IT employee via a voluntary agreement. At the same time, the company is expected to save as much as 20% of the fixed salary costs for IT operations and support.

"Being at the forefront of both support, operations, security and technology as well as constantly following new rules for GDPR and compliance challenges many smaller IT departments. Especially right now, when many are forced to look at their business in a new perspective. We are introducing a new way for companies that are considering dismissing their IT employee, but do not want to say goodbye to a skilled employee and risk important knowledge being lost," says CEO Jan Grested.

New opportunities for all parties

Supporters now dare to guarantee the company a saving of a fifth of the normal costs. Quite practically, it takes place in the way that Supporters hires the IT employee with all the obligations that come with an appointment. The company solves all support and operation tasks in a full-service outsourcing concept at a fixed price. Supporters pay the employee's salary, but only charge the company 80%. The employee does what he or she is best at and is also released to other customers and tasks.

"For many IT employees, this will be an opportunity to develop in a larger team, and at the same time secure their future. And we can help the company with the digital journey going forward. At Supporters, we want to attract qualified employees who want something more. Everyone wins with the model - both in the short and long term," says Jan Grested.
