IT Outsourcing - Reasons and Benefits

As a business owner, you may have already considered outsourcing to successfully relieve yourself of responsibilities in areas that were not directly relevant to your business. The benefits of outsourcing seem obvious and have been appreciated by experts in many sectors. A good answer to that is optimized cost management in areas such as human resource management, accounting and, of course, IT - information technology.

There are other reasons why companies choose this path…

In this article, we will look at the reasons and benefits of outsourcing, especially with regard to information technology (IT), and we will give you some tips to help you build a successful relationship with your IT service provider, whether they are full time employees or outsourcing service providers.


The main reasons

There are many reasons why companies outsource. Well, then let's get to the horns and look at the main ones.

1. Reduction and control of labor costs

By outsourcing, you will avoid the cost of hiring individual employees, investing in their training, health insurance, taxes, as well as ongoing employee monitoring to ensure quality and productivity in work, etc.

2. Improve business focus - "Super people are only in comics"

It is neither practical nor possible to be a master of all crafts - a superhuman, although it can be pursued with a great deal of time and money, but do you have it all? By outsourcing you will have time to focus on your core industry, while the outsourcing provider will focus on your industry to provide you with quality services.

3. Access to specific knowledge and capabilities

Your investment will pay off much more if you outsource it to a company specializing in these areas. Instead of one person knowledge, you will benefit from the collective experience of a team of IT professionals. Outsourcing IT companies usually require that their IT staff be properly trained in the industry and have the necessary certifications.

4. Using your resources for the right purposes

You may have someone in your office who is pretty good at computer engineering, accounting, but most likely that employee was not hired to do such work ... If he spends his time taking care of these things, then who will do the job he was primarily hired?

Outsourcing allows you to maintain your employees' potential at the highest and best level, and you don't waste time on things that are done much faster and better by specially trained, experienced people in your industry.

5. Optimal use of financial resources

There may not be anyone in your company to manage and take care of your IT-related needs, and there is no budget for hiring a new employee. Outsourcing can be a long-term solution and at the same time it can take the form of time limited projects.

6. Restructuring as a benefit

When you are restructuring and/or optimizing your business to reduce costs and increase speed, your core business functions may lose their quality. However, they are and will continue to be dealt with, and outsourcing is the optimal way to do this.

7. Risk reduction

Keeping track of all the technologies needed to run a business in a high quality is expensive and time consuming. As a professionals IT outsourcing partners work with many clients and follow industry innovations and solutions, so they usually know what's right and what's not. This type of knowledge and experience reduces your risk of making the wrong decisions, which can be time consuming and financially unprofitable.


Benefits

Still not sure whether to outsource?

Here are some benefits of outsourcing your company's IT functions:

1. Access to newer and better technologies

You may have noticed how fast software and hardware can become outdated today. Will one person be ready to maintain and update everything? Outsourcing gives you the advantage of having multiple IT professionals. And since this is the core competency of the company, they can give you solid advice on how to get the IT industry to bring the best returns and benefits.

2. Cost savings

IT services have the potential to provide financial advantages such as cheaper prices for office equipment and software, as companies of this type usually have established professional contacts with suppliers of these goods.

3. High quality staff

As IT services are the core competency of these companies, employees are carefully selected and choosed with all required qualifications and certifications. You may not know what the requirements for a specific job should be when trying to hire a full-time employee. This puts you at risk of hiring a highly un-qualified employee.

4. Flexibility

Outsourced providers have more resources, while in-house staff may have limited capabilities and resources.

5. Corporate mood and reducing burnout syndrome

Choosing the right outsourcing service will remove the burden on your employees who have taken on more than they had in the start-up process. You will maintain better relationships with employees by allowing them to do what they know and do what they like best. You will be successful in improving your business and corporate mood.


Conclusions

Regardless of what your final choice will be - outsourcing or hiring an in-house employee - it is important to maintain a good working relationship with your IT service providers. Admittedly, they do not always seem to be the simplest people in the world, but their knowledge can be very useful.

Here are some tips to make communication easier and more successful:

  1. Clearly articulate your project and / or business goals;
  2. Develop a clear strategic vision and plan for your project;
  3. Select the right service provider through research and reference;
  4. Organize open communication and communication with all stakeholders/groups to have a clear direction in the work processes, especially with those who make the final decisions.
