Strategic Options
Unless you have already made a decision to out-source your IT entirely you have three options for achieving the above goals:
   1. Continue to manage the process of service improvement and cost reduction in-house
   2. Outsource the entire IT operation, handing over the assets to the outsourcer
   3. Selectively out-task portions of the IT operation as and when economics suggest
   4. As an adjunct to options 2 & 3, 'off-shore' the out-tasking to obtain maximum cost benefits

You will already be familiar with the challenges of the first option. Total outsourcing has its attractions, not least of which is, often, a strong initial positive cash flow. But, you may well feel this option, which might offer large gains in the longer term, will result in a loss of capability and flexibility. Selective out-tasking is probably something you are already doing, for example, with your network or mobile phone supplier. It potentially offers immediate access to top-quality skills. But enabling you to save money probably depends on combining it with offshoring, which enables you to gain access to that unique combination of low cost and high skill.

Thus, the combination of selective out-tasking and offshoring is the one to go for. This is what Optimacy Solutions offers.
