Do more with less.
This is the challenge that many businesses are facing in these competitive economic times. Many businesses are faced with the Information Technology paradox: - Flat or shrinking budgets
- Thinning staff
- Increased project complexity
- Shorter project timelines
Furthermore, your business must compete in a global economy where your competitors will: - Take advantage of new technology (ERP, E-Business and Web Development) to effectively reach customers, manage suppliers and reduce cost
- Improve margins and revenue by reducing costs in response to local or global pricing pressure and flat or eroding sales
- Take advantage of the global market of buyers and sellers to further reduce cost and expand sales

Since many small businesses cannot afford to maintain IT personnel, they already outsource this activity to qualified software vendors but are under ever increasing pressure to reduce the cost of working with these vendors while improving their performance time. These businesses are under constant pressure to maintain a competitive advantage. Because technology and information change so quickly, they are always in search of competent vendors who can do more for less and can do it faster than the other guy. They need to keep their business fresh and maintain the upper hand over their competitors.
Do it fast, do it right and do it for less.
Midsize and large firms are adopting a new model for optimizing their IT resources. They maintain core IT personnel who intimately understand the firms business model and goals and who have over all responsibility for long-term vision, system wide design, integration and maintenance. This core team out sources development of the individual system components to highly skilled groups capable of designing, developing, training and assisting in integration of these components with the overall business process. The businesses core IT team, typically smaller in size and higher in cost, is now free to concentrate on the overall system design and vision and maintain intellectual processes and property in-house. The outsourced vendor is typically a large pool of diverse resources closely managed with on-site customer interaction, capable of providing the system building blocks at a smaller cost and significantly reduced project timeline. Where the in-house IT team understands what is needed to make the business succeed, the outsourced team has intimate knowledge and experience of the relevant technologies, how to best apply them and where the pitfalls lay. This further minimizes the project risk and cost associated with the in-house team since they no longer have to struggle with the learning curve associated with a new technology. The in-house team is exposed to best practices and industry accepted designs through the experience of the vendor.
