Do enterprises need IT outsourcing services?
IT Outsourcing Managed Service is to entrust the information construction of enterprises and individuals to professional service companies. Research shows that service efficiency is higher, cost is lower, and upgrading is easier. It can include the following contents: information planning (consulting), equipment and software selection, network system and application software system construction, daily maintenance management and upgrading of the entire system network, etc. IT outsourcing service is a way for enterprises to rapidly develop enterprise digitalization, improve digital quality, improve enterprise work efficiency, and save information costs, and also provides great help for individual users.
IT Outsourcing Managed Service is to entrust the information construction of enterprises and individuals to professional service companies. The enterprise outsources all or part of the functions of the IT department to a professional third-party IT outsourcing company for management, and focuses on developing the core business of the enterprise.
In short, when there are not enough or no full-time internal IT operation and maintenance personnel, the enterprise transfers the maintenance of its IT outsourcing service processes, including all office hardware, networks and peripherals, to a company specializing in IT operation and maintenance for all-round maintenance. With the continuous maturity and development of IT technology and management ideas, the concept of IT outsourcing has gradually occupied a place in the vision of enterprises. Today, the scope of outsourcing IT activities is expanding. Obviously, IT outsourcing is not only a flash trend in the 1990s, but also an inevitable choice adopted by many public and private organizations.
In the 1990s, an important change occurred in the field of management philosophy: in order to improve market penetration and enhance competitiveness, organizations began to focus on their core businesses. In order to compete effectively, enterprises should pay attention to what they have done well and what can increase their own value. An obvious example is that a large number of software companies transfer coding work to overseas developing countries and regions, especially companies in India, Taiwan and other places, while retaining the design, planning and marketing functions of software.
Outsourcing requires an understanding of the concept of core competence. Core competence is the ability that an enterprise can truly distinguish itself from other competitors, and it is also the ability that an enterprise relies on to achieve success. In the eyes of customers, core competence is also the ability to provide clear leadership for the organization. There are many vivid and vivid examples of outsourcing. For example, Ericsson, as the third largest mobile phone manufacturer in the world at the beginning of the 21st century, decided to outsource the mobile phone manufacturing business after a series of business pains, and retain product design, marketing and other functions as its core business. Today, Ericsson has re established its market position through cooperation with SONY and other means.
All other activities are "non core". Managers can think about whether their companies are "outstanding" in carrying out these activities? If not, the company will start to study how to outsource these businesses so that the company can provide greater value to customers at a lower cost.
