Outsource or Hire In-House?

Many businesses start out by handling various aspects of their operations in-house, including accounting, marketing, human resources, and information technology. However, once you’ve grown to a certain size, you’re likely to start entertaining the idea of outsourcing.

Why? It’s all about value, especially when it comes to IT.

When you’re hiring in-house, it may seem less expensive in the beginning. As time goes on, you start to notice the many costs that come along with hiring someone — managing, training, payment, and more — are soon more than you can afford.

The decision to outsource vs. hire in-house is difficult, but it’s incredibly important to make the right choice. You depend on your information technology for virtually every aspect of your day-to-day work-life. The benefits of outsourcing will boost your Return on Investment and lower your Total Cost of Ownership:

• More Expertise, Skills, and Experience: An outsourced team of professionals offers specialties in a range of technologies, receive ongoing training and certifications, and have the means to go beyond basic monitoring and maintenance of your systems.
• Hiring A Company, Not A Person: While an outsourced IT department is available around-the-clock, and compensated through your monthly flat rate, an in-house staff is subject to business hours, requires full salaries, benefits and vacation pay, and will undoubtedly call in sick from time to time. By outsourcing your IT department, you leave the managing, training, payment, and other variables that come with actual employees to someone else.
• Greater Expertise: An in-house IT rep often lacks the resources to do more than just address day-to-day issues, whereas an outsourced IT team has the personnel and resources to do more than just proactively maintain your IT environment. They can help you anticipate the future, and properly prepare your business for how changes and evolution in technology can help transform your company and bring massive success.
