IT services outsourcing: - advantages
To begin with, it’s easier to impose excellence to a supplier than to an employee. And when the answer to your demands is not satisfactory, it’s easier to terminate a contract than to fire an employee that does no longer corresponds to the job description. Having your own IT department with one or more employees, will most likely not be cost efficient to have more people with the same qualifications to be paid for stand by in case one of them it’s not available (medical leave, holiday, involvement in other projects). If you don’t have these resources, the activity will be blocked repeatedly and for unacceptable periods of time.
The IT services supplier on the other hand, can better administrate these lacks because he has more resources and you can rest assure that anytime problems will occur, somebody will be available to solve them.
Considering the cost per employee, this is not given only by he’s salary. Starting from the recruiting process, and then the initial specialization, even the desk and the computer he is working on, and also the taxes paid besides the salary are extra costs. In addition, there is always the need to carry on the specializations due to the dynamic of the IT domain. All these are efforts that you must make in order to have an productive employee. And after you would have accomplished them all, you end up recruiting again because the employee has found a better job and it’s leaving.
The It supplier can more efficiently administer the facts mentioned above because it his line of work and he offers a more diverse working environment and a more attractive one, on a long term, for an IT specialist. You just get to enjoy the benefits of the prompt services that you contracted, without any other overhead.
Regarding the costs, imagine how it would be to hire 1.67 system administrators or even worse, 0.82 administrators and 0.63 programmers to optimize the expenses related to the existing needs. Quite difficult, but let’s say you make it. How much do these people cost? Easy. O company pays for an employee almost twice his net income. This, if we don’t count the holidays which add up to 1/12 from the available time meaning 8,3%, 3-4 days of medical leave which add another 1-2% and last but not least the unproductive period while he is on training or orientation which is more significant when the employee stays for shorter periods inside the company.
Adding all up it turns out that for administrating a system comprising of 70 work stations, a task that could be carried out by a professional or 2 les prepared employees, ADAL Technology would charge between 60 and 70% of what your own employees would cost you. This would add up of course to the advantages that we mentioned. The IT domain is complex enough that it’s not worth it to dedicate your forces to build and maintain an IT department of your own. It will consume your resources that you can channel to the growth of your business. Let our experts help you with quality services.
Last but not least, regarding the experience, it takes a whole team of administrators with different knowledge levels and proportional salaries to cover all the IT needs in a company. In case you hire a specialist for servers, he will require a salary twice as big as for administrating a simple PC. If you hire a technician for regular activities, he won’t have the knowledge to solve the difficult problems. A specialised company will give you it’s whole team of certified IT specialists.
