Why should you outsource IT services?

There is no company these days, that can work without the internet, applications, cloud computing, CRM systems or eAccounting. Therefore, why develop your own solutions when you can rely on outsourcing?

The biggest mistake is to think that you can do it better (or cheaper), but most companies are not aware of the advantages brought by B2B outsourcing, especially in the IT business:

1. Higher quality

You have to admit – an outsourcing company will bring higher service quality. IT is at the core of their business and that is why they keep innovating and following the trends. They invest money into their Software and their employees. This is something they should do and not you.  This way, nothing can distract you from your own core business goals.

2. Saving money

Maybe it is not immediately apparent in the beginning, especially when the bill arrives. But try to think about the secondary costs, if solutions were being done inhouse. Hiring new people, months spent on development, implementation, maintenance. Additionally, you need continuous on-going training for your employees. All of this, just to have constant support for the real purpose of your business. Again, those are the responsibilities of the supplier, if you choose the option of IT outsourcing.

3. No licenses payments

If you rent the solution, you do not have to buy the whole system: SW, HW etc. Your supplier has all the necessary licenses and those are included in the offer.

4. Easier changes

A company changes as it grows and successful firms usually want to broaden their outsourcing activities or to adapt the solution they are using (new features in cloud computing, adding new business departments to the system, sophisticated functions etc.).

IT Outsourcing companies have a lot of experiences with different type of businesses and thus – a better understanding of clients’ expectations. This is the reason why they are able to be really flexible with your requests. They can even propose new ideas that can change your perspectives. Having your own IT department may cost you to lose sight of the bigger picture and you can get lost in it. Outsourcing companies see things differently and most of the time, this is a good thing for you.

There are many reasons for IT outsourcing. The result is – no need to try and develop your own IT services, trust a company that has the trust of many other players in this game. They know what they are doing and in this way they can focus on the company’s main goals, helping them to become one of the successful ones.
