Is outsourcing your IT right for you?

Are you considering outsourcing your IT services and functions?

If yes, ask yourself these questions: –

1. Is IT a critical requirement for your business?
2. Does IT put your business at risk or provide a competitive advantage?
3. What is your Organisation’s competency in delivering IT services and support?
4. Is IT a core competency or a drain on your resources?

Are IT services critical to your business?

• Business and client expectations necessitate organisations to deliver information and services in
  real-time.
• How well does your IT system help you meet the demands of your Customers?
• Does it provide you with a competitive advantage?
• Does it provide the ability to streamline your operations therefore lowering costs?

To outsource your IT functions, you must involve a close look as to how much risk your Company is willing to bear.  Do missed opportunities prevent you being more competitive and productive.

What is your Company’s competency in delivering an effective IT function?
