Today, IT outsourcing is an increasingly important strategy for
organisations. Many are either currently outsourcing key portions of
their IT infrastructure – or considering doing so in the near
future.
Pressures on corporate profitability and on
public sector spending have led to a continued growth in entities
outsourcing elements of their IT. Chief finance officers want cost
reduction and capital efficiency, which outsourcing can provide
because it then releases funds to finance growth and pursue fresh
business opportunities. Chief Executives are demanding a greater
focus on core skills and driving shareholder value through this
route. Chief Information Officers are driven by all these factors,
plus the need to meet business demands, whilst demonstrating
increasing value from IT.
Further, it is increasingly recognised that
outsourcing can also act as a catalyst for change within an
organisation, allowing fresh thinking, new expertise and the
opportunity for a step-up in an organisation’s performance.
