Without outsourcing, companies must bear the brunt of expensive costs to hire and train specialized talent. This may work for a while with smaller companies, but it is neither sustainable nor scalable. Although most companies focus on the costs, there are other downsides to insourcing. Solely relying on insourcing severely limits your team’s ability to create and build. Keeping everything in-house can lead to:
- Difficulty responding to crunches or capacity increases.
- The echo chamber effect, or when everyone is saying the same thing, and no one can think of any new ideas. Essentially, the opposite of innovation.
- Your top-performing staff doesn’t have the flexibility to move their resources around and adapt to new challenges.
Your company is constantly hiring and training employees. Since technology is changing so quickly, you’d have to have everyone spend their time learning instead of doing anything productive with their new knowledge.
All of these issues can seriously limit your business’ ability to stay at the front of the competition and utilize the new IT skill sets emerging.
Why Outsource?
There are many reasons why outsourcing your IT skills is the right decision for your company. Some of the primary reasons for outsourcing include:
- Outsourcing significantly lowers costs and expenses.
- It allows the core members of the business to focus on other aspects while assigning tasks to other teams.
- Outsourcing leverages emerging skillsets and expands a company’s capabilities.
- It leads to more resources during crunches, so your teams can deliver more finalized products.
Outsourcing is the best way to leverage innovation and not get lost in the shuffle. That doesn’t mean you should rely entirely on the benefits of outsourcing, though.
Leadership positions and critical roles within your IT department work best with insource staff. By coordinating with outsourced technical team members, you can ensure that your company gets the skills you need to stay abreast of the fast-paced environment while retaining the people who make your company great.
