Output Services

Corporate Outsourcing Responds to Economic Crisis Most information systems departments around the world in 2009 will be faced with tighter budgets than those initially expected.

In this context, the outsourcing of IT services appears as a way to better capitalize on available resources (also for companies that up to now had not seriously considered it before).

Outsourcing = delegating the supply of equipment and services to third parties through the terms of service-level agreements Benefits for companies: • gives them a way to provide service levels that guarantee competitiveness, • keep costs under control.

Financial Crisis Brings New Opportunities to Service Outsourcing Sector Outsourcing could save companies money, if it is leveraged properly.

• Drives down the current costs of performing a service. Allows companies to leverage immediate cost of labor differences to accomplish the same work.

• Catalyzes internal change. The requirement to integrate internal teams with external providers mandates greater discipline in project management, application development and integration, and overall IT operations (ITIL).

• Improved purchasing methods, including competitive procurement and benchmarking, can reduce average bill rates, usually by as much as 10% annually.

• Consolidating providers allows companies to control and manage risk, including legal, financial, and performance risks that are inherent working with third parties.

Financial Crisis Brings New Opportunities to Service Outsourcing Sector (cont)

In the same time outsourcing offers risk management by SLA based contracts. In this case, as a collateral benefit, organizations are optimizing existing relationship and leveraging outsourcing as a tool to improve internal performance.

Near future prognosis shows that "74% of organizations expect outsourcing to remain at the same level or increase because of the economic crisis.“ (according to International Association of Outsourcing Professionals - IAOP)
