Is Outsourcing the Right Thing to do? |
|
Despite the anti outsourcing backlash, benefits from outsourcing
are very tangible. The very fabric of
American success lies in opportunity and
innovation, making it very difficult for
anyone or anything to paralyze its workers
or its economy. It does not matter to which
industry an enterprise is in, outsourcing
can bring tremendous benefits to any type of
business.
Every minute your employees spend on an activity that does not
directly add value to your enterprise's
business strategy is a cost that can be
saved.
CIOs must analyze their organizations' needs
and find out if their businesses can
outsource. Questions that need to be asked
and answered are:
-
Is the
enterprise finding it difficult to meet
its customer needs?
-
Does the
enterprise want to maximize its impact
in the marketplace?
-
Does the
enterprise's IT function have managers
who are not sure about what makes and
what loses money?
-
Is the
enterprise experiencing constant
challenges based on operational issues?
-
Does
enterprise lack the expertise to survive
and grow?
-
Does the
enterprise have important nonrecurring
project requirements but no resources to
handle them?
If the answer is 'yes' to more than one question, then outsourcing
may be in order for the enterprise.
Outsourcing can help CIOs to efficiently
deal with the challenges of today's business
climate. Outsourcing can help you to meet
your customer needs on time, increase market
presence, make the right decisions about
product lines, overcome operational
challenges, get access to expert services
and benefit from professional resources who
can competently handle your projects.
Some of the benefits of outsourcing are
-

performance and management

IT Infrastructure is a Key to CIO and IT Productivity
Economic realities drive CIOs to get the basics working
better |
|
 In
many enterprises, CIOs are perceived as mere
technology managers, while in reality they
should be viewed as business leaders. The CIO's
focus should be on reducing costs and improving
profitability through the strategic usage of
IT. It is very important for the Information
Technology organization to get out of a
transactional mode. If the CIO has the right
infrastructure in place, then the CIO can help
in directing the strategy of the enterprise, and
even shape its destiny. The CIO brings his own
perspective, and without IT, you cannot build a
robust and business.
With the explosion of technology into every
facet of the day-to-day business environment
there is a need to define an effective
infrastructure to support operating environment;
have a strategy for the deployment and
technology; and clearly define responsibilities
and accountabilities for the use and application
of technology.
The CIO Infrastructure Tool Kit is comprised of
a collection of Janco products that CIOs and
Directors' of IT can use to create a strategy
and manage in the ever changing business
environment. The CIO Infrastructure Tool Kit
versions each contain some of essential tools
that your enterprise needs as it creates budgets
and sets priorities. The bundles include the IT
Infrastructure, Strategy and Charter Template,
Janco's latest IT salary data, the Business
Impact and Application Questionnaire, Service
Level Policy Template with sample metrics,
Functional Specification Template, and the
