IT Outsourcing Benefits

As outsourcing service models mature, vendors are striving to provide a partnership style of collaboration. This is based on the outsourcing teams being able to understand and value more fully the customer business overall aim and vision. The emerging partnership relationship strengthens and highlights the pre-existing benefits of IT outsourcing and the effective steps that have been taken to turn IT outsourcing into not only a cost effective move, but a beneficial partnership between client and company.

Traditionally, outsourcing strategies have been based primarily on cost. Many companies in today’s market may have already had some experience in outsourcing and their primary concern is to have a more mature relationship with those partners. Increasingly, companies deciding to outsource or offshore are basing these decisions on more strategic aims.

Enabling outsourced teams to run alongside in-house teams in different time-zones can provide a significant benefit to a company. When project activity covers more hours than the traditional in-house working day, it can result in a faster turnaround. Companies also may seek offshore partners where the partner can offer ways to do future business in the partners’ local marketplace. This is particularly worthwhile in Asia, where the sheer volume of untapped future markets is very attractive to outsourcing companies.

Talent is another outsourcing benefit. Outsourcing can give access to, for example in China and India, a massive and readily available pool of top class talent, with many trained to work in specialized fields.
