Looking forward to 2015: Why Outsourcing your IT may be the best bet
IT Strategy Litcom
As technology grows more complicated, sophisticated and specialized, there will be an increasing need for IT consultants with the ‘right’ expertise for the foreseeable future. If your organization engages with one or more IT consulting firms, either on retention or as part of your backup operations, then you will have a greater advantage in the marketplace.
Organizations can benefit from hiring an IT consulting firm for a number of reasons:
It’s okay to get help
When an organization hires a consultant or consulting team, it gains insight into which hardware, software or services meet its needs and budget according to the organization’s business goals. Without spending time on IT acquisition decisions, the organization is able to focus more on the core of its work.
  • Experienced IT consultants know the best methods that will help your organization meet its goals.
  • IT consultants can advise the organization on purchasing decisions so that the organization doesn’t overspend.
Access to a team
Hiring a single IT employee may seem like a good idea, but engaging a consulting firm provides added support and information above what one individual can provide. When an organization outsources some (or all) of its IT, it eliminates the costs associated with hiring staff, such as management oversight, training, health insurance, employment taxes, retirement plans etc.
  • Organizations that outsource their IT will have access to a team of specialists that can provide support on the latest technologies. Keeping up with technology required to run the organization is expensive and time consuming. Because professional outsourced IT companies work with multiple clients and must keep up with industry best practices and certifications, they are best positioned to add value with selection and implementation of new technology solutions. This kind of knowledge and experience dramatically reduces the organization’s risk of implementing a costly wrong decision.
  • Through a partnership with a well-established IT consulting firm, businesses can have the benefits of priority (and sometimes discounted) access to various technology vendors.
Increased Productivity
If your organization hires IT consultants, your staff can spend less time concerned with the office network and more time working on value added projects.
  • Effectively planned and executed technology can ensure your company faces less downtime and fewer glitches.
  • Gain peace of mind knowing that whatever problems your organization faces, there is an IT support system that can provide insight and solutions.
