A companies day-to-day business function is crippled when IT services fail.  Email goes down, access to file and print servers go down, and then you lose access to the Internet.  Higher up the chain, this delays a product or service launch, creates a customer service nightmare, or even creates bad press.  Not to mention the stress this puts on your employees.  In short, if your IT department spends most of their time struggling with routine IT services, then they will have no time to create better business technologies, better processes, or sharpen infrastructure goals.

The fundamental IT services that a business requires today and which an IT department delivers include desktop services such as email, back-office services such as storage, and mid-office services such as security.  Failure to deliver on just one of these initiatives can create a domino effect running enterprise-wide.  This is where outsourcing your IT services comes in.  The rationale behind outsourcing IT services is that instead of struggling inefficiently with these services internally, you can source them externally from an expert.  An expert who is keenly focused on a specific aspect of your total IT department’s responsibility. 

It is important to source the service from the right provider.  Companies should think about what services to keep in house and what IT services and processes are best to outsource for cost-cutting and efficiency reasons.
