The drive to reduce costs
There is significant pressure within most enterprises to reduce capital expenditure and long-term maintenance costs of IT infrastructure. CEOs expect CIOs to deliver higher levels of productivity and greater process efficiency while reducing overall costs.Complexity reduces productivity
Most enterprise infrastructures have grown up over a long period and are consequently complex, multi-vendor environments: this frequently results in poorly defined lines of authority between technology vendors and internal departments, making it tough to solve problems and implement change. As a result, the infrastructure is difficult to manage, maintain and upgrade; making downtime more likely, which reduces productivity.
Unsure about outsourcing?
IT outsourcing can deliver major cost savings and improve productivity: but when should enterprises consider it? Here are five indicators that suggest IT outsourcing would be appropriate for your business:
- You are unclear about the true cost of IT and need to quantify it in order to control costs and meet budget objectives.
- Your organization is going through a significant transformation, perhaps as the result of an acquisition or divestment.
- You wish to enable new services quickly: perhaps you are bringing new products to market, or want to work more closely with partners.
- You need to make rapid efficiency gains in order to free up investment capital for core business concerns.
- You need to increase or reduce IT resources and their associated services as your business demands change.
