IT Outsourcing Company: Ultimate Quick Guide

Insights

Are you considering outsourcing your information technology? Learn more about the ins and outs of IT outsourcing companies.

What Is An IT Outsourcing Company?

An IT outsourcing company is a business that provides technology services and resources to other companies, typically on a contractual basis. IT outsourcing companies offer a variety of services, such as web development, software development, network and system administration, cloud computing, data management, and security. These services may be delivered on-site or remotely, depending on the needs of the customer.

IT outsourcing companies also provide services such as technical support, project management, and consulting. They can help businesses develop new applications, migrate existing applications to the cloud, maintain and upgrade existing IT systems, and provide ongoing support to ensure that systems remain operational.

These companies can provide organizations with access to specialized skills and technology that they may not have, or cannot afford, in-house. Additionally, outsourcing IT services can help businesses reduce costs and free up internal resources for other strategic initiatives.

IT Outsourced Services

These are some of the most common technology services and resources provided:

1. Network and Infrastructure Setup: Network and infrastructure setup services include action items such as setting up servers, routers, and switches, as well as configuring systems, providing security patches, and managing backup and recovery processes.

2. Cloud Computing Services: IT outsourcing companies can provide cloud computing services such as migrating applications and data to the cloud, setting up cloud-based storage solutions, and helping businesses use cloud-based applications and services.

3. Managed Services: Managed services such as 24/7 monitoring and management of a business’s IT systems, proactive maintenance, and proactive problem resolution is an option.

4. Application and Software Development: Application and software development services, including developing custom applications, developing web and mobile applications, and providing application maintenance and support.

5. Business Intelligence and Analytics: A hired IT company can provide businesses with business intelligence and analytics services such as data warehousing, analytics, and reporting.

6. Cybersecurity Services: Protective cybersecurity services such as security risk assessments, data protection, and malware protection are often vital to businesses.

7. Help Desk Support: An IT outsourcing company can provide businesses with help desk support services, such as providing technical support, responding to customer inquiries, and troubleshooting hardware and software issues.

8. IT Project Management: Businesses can receive IT project management services, such as creating project plans, managing budgets, and overseeing software and hardware implementations.

9. IT Staff Augmentation: Providing IT staff augmentation services, such as providing additional IT resources, such as talent and employees, for short-term or long-term projects is also often high value-add.

10. Network and Systems Administration: It’s common to provide businesses with network and systems administration services, such as configuring and managing networks and systems, as well as providing software and hardware upgrades.​​

When Do Companies Consider Outsourcing IT Services?

Technology is typically outsourced when companies need specialized IT skills or services that they do not have in-house. Companies may also outsource IT services when they require additional IT resources for a specific project or need to reduce overhead costs. This is also common when access to new technology is needed, or the organization simply wants to focus on core business activities instead of their IT.

Benefits of Outsourcing Your IT Needs

1. Cost savings: One of the most significant benefits of outsourcing IT services is cost savings. By outsourcing IT services, companies can reduce overhead costs associated with in-house IT personnel, equipment, and software.

2. Access to specialized expertise: Outsourcing technology can provide companies with access to specialized expertise and resources that they may not have in-house. This can help companies stay competitive and access the latest technologies quickly.

3. Increased efficiency: When doing this, companies often streamline their operations and increase efficiency. This can help them reduce costs and improve their bottom line.

4. Improved customer service: By outsourcing IT services, companies can improve customer service by providing faster and more reliable service. This can help them increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.

5. Increased flexibility: Outsourcing can help companies have access to the necessary resources when they are needed, without having to invest in them permanently. This can help them be more agile and adapt to changing market conditions.

How Much Does It Cost?

The cost of outsourcing IT services depends on the type of services needed, the provider, and the contract length. Generally, outsourcing technology services can range from thousands of dollars a month to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars per month.
