Cloud-based IT outsourcing: More IT gain—less partnership pain.

Cloud technology is changing the face of IT outsourcing for the better, allowing for seamless collaboration across datelines and timelines—and taking outsourcing to new levels of scalability and efficiency. Gone are the barriers to partnership as cloud-based outsourcing supports anytime, anywhere access to resources available on-demand.

According to the forecast of Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth, the cloud computing market will reach $160 billion in 2020 (Figure 1), while Forrester gives an even more optimistic estimation in its report called “Sizing the Cloud,” saying that it will top $241 billion.

As the shift toward cloud continues its upward trajectory, big gains will be reaped by those companies that seek a cloud-based outsourcer. Following are three ways today’s businesses can win big with cloud-based outsourcing partners.

More scalability.  Cloud-based outsourcing gives you access to scalable resources that can be expanded as your business grows—on the fly and on demand. Companies such as Amazon and Google are already seeing tremendous success with their cloud offerings for developers. More IT outsourcers will move to embrace cloud and all the scalability it has to offer in order to remain industry competitive.

More affordability. Cloud-based outsourcing lets you say goodbye to multiyear contracts and time-honored charging and hello to pay-as-you-go, volume-based charging where you only pay for the outsourcing services you need. It’s an affordable, cost-effective payment structure that puts you back in control of your bottom line.  

More simplicity. No longer will the need for custom code require you to finance and manage on-site teams of programmers. Cloud-based outsourcing gives you the option to hand off 100% of your software development—from soup to nuts, including management and maintenance with standardized service packages are that easy to set up and cost efficient.
