Outsourcing

In years past, organizations would frown on having an outside party handle day-to-day IT support tasks, but as selective outsourcing becomes a more prevalent practice so does the acceptance level. Many executives have found that by outsourcing they can better concentrate on strategic core business initiatives rather then the day-to-day operations of their IT department or relatively mundane tasks such as payroll processing. Many CxOs view selective IT outsourcing as a way to free them from the drudgery of technical maintenance and system support.

The decision to selectively outsource some or all IT support requires a close look at the skills needed for performing hardware maintenance, software upgrades and configuration management. While some companies prefer to control everything in-house, trends show that companies are increasingly outsourcing tasks such as web hosting, application maintenance and infrastructure management. However, trust is an issue with outsourcing, particularly for technologies that directly touch users, such as access management, help desk and customer relations.
