I did some research on outsourcing to go along with our class discussions. Did you know a typical IT organization spends about 5 to 6 percent of its total IT budget on outsourcing? Many argue that the size of the company doesn’t matter; big or small companies are reaping the benefits of outsourcing.
The most popular IT functions to outsource are data center operations, disaster recovery and Web site systems. This goes along with our article for the week, “Six IT decisions your IT people shouldn’t make”. GTECH Corporation, which runs the government lotteries, is charged up to $10,000 per minute that the system is unavailable. Disaster recovery is a serious concern.
I think outsourcing will continue to grow and therefore, will continue to impact the way we do business.
