The greatest challenge for most IT/business services departments is simply keeping pace with technology and it’s not getting any easier. Technology change impacts everything from personnel training, to extending applications to new users, to the timely migration to new platforms. An information systems infrastructure that is current and efficient is critical to success. In fact, it’s now widely accepted that IT strategy and business strategy are virtually indistinguishable. The more management has to deal with infrastructure issues, the less time they have to manage strategic issues related to the company’s primary business. By internalizing, non-strategic projects will most likely not be using best tools or practices. This will lead to a less-than-optimal outcome.

Companies turn towards outsourcing when they want to reduce costs and improve quality. An outsourcer is in the position to more cost effectively provide the customer with access to the latest and greatest tools. Beyond cost and quality improvements, there are additional business benefits a client realizes, such as increased focus, access to cutting-edge technologies, increased product development capability, and speed.
