Dear readers,

Outsourcing, IT Infrastructure Management, IT Facilities Management…the terms describing IT Outsourcing are numerous but all relate to these three dimensions:

• Infrastructure Outsourcing
• Application Outsourcing
• Human Ressources Outsourcing

I admit, when one is unfamiliar with the terminology used in the IT world, it is difficult to grasp the whole point of outsourcing information technology. Being the entrepreneur that I am, allow me to share my point of view on the subject;

• Significant reduction of operating costs. According to the type of outsourcing selected, you save on physical investment, human management, energy and/or rental charges! For a more complete picture of the savings, click here

• Focus on the heart of your business. If you are in construction, then build! To each his job! Do not waste time to engage in things that do not provide real added value to your business!

• Accessibility to a large panel of experts at a reduced cost. Outsourcing allows you to benefit from the knowledge and skills of a team of certified professionals…for less than the cost of a junior technician hired in-house! Let’s not even mention the problems related to holidays, absences and other non-cash negatives! Use your common sense!

• Optimal reallocation of your workforce. You pay a vendor to sell, not to manufacture.  It’s the same concept with IT.  Stop paying your project manager to update your office workstations! He will make you more money if he sticks to what he’s paid to do…manage projects!

• Reduce the risk. IT Outsourcing allows you to be perpetually on top. Specifically, you have a state of the art hardware and software infrastructure that is constantly being updated and conforms with today’s strict IT security standards (that are evolving and developing on a daily basis)

Unfortunately, I do not have time to list in writing the many benefits of IT Outsourcing.  However, I would be happy to introduce you to all the benefits over a good cup of coffee! Call us at (450) 667-4410 to schedule an appointment!
