As companies continue rely more on information technology (IT) to conduct their business, we have seen an exponential increase in costs related to IT development and maintenance. This is why companies are now choosing to transfer IT assets, leases and staff to third-party vendors, in the promise of resource efficiencies and cost savings without losing ground to competition. Contrary to popular belief, outsourcing is not a big company trend. Smaller establishments are resorting to outsourcing to manage IT functions, help desk and training.

 

What is Outsourcing really? 

IT outsourcing is the process of contracting external parties (outside of your organization) to conduct IT functions such as data entry, data center operations, application maintenance and development, disaster recovery and network management and IT operations. These external parties may be individual IT professionals, consulting firms, employee leasing companies, full-service providers and CPA firms.
