ICT Outsourcing through In-house Expertise, Experienced Professionals & Alliance Partners
  • CONCEPT
    The procuring of services or products in Information & Communication Technology, e.g. applications development, from an outside vendor or manufacturer in order to cut costs and achieve other benefits of IT Outsourcing in order to make business processes more effective and be more competitive on market.

    Outsourcing is not something new, as larger companies have always considered using outside resources for performing particular tasks instead of resorting to their own workforce. As a result, SMEs based in a low-cost climate have decided to opt outsourcing model for cost effective, highly skilled workforce is the way to success. But since in the early days cost was considered the only reason for hiring outside contractors, nowadays there’s a turn, as companies become more and more aware of the rest of the advantages outsourcing can bring. Today, most stack holders consider outsourcing to be the most affordable solution for a company interested in becoming more efficient by reducing costs and accessing state-of-the-art technologies without spending additional funds on research and development.

    Although it currently represents more then $10 billion global IT services market, offshore software outsourcing is playing an increasingly important role in the Information & Communication Technology Strategies of major corporations and attracting the interest of business and technology decision makers across the vertical industry spectrum. In short, outsourcing model is becoming part of the global IT services industry mainstream.

    In the year 2000, the Information & Communication Technology industry reached an important milestone. For the first time, more than half (54%) of ICT services purchased in North America were outsourced. A surprising feature of outsourcing is that its momentum is continuing even after the red-hot economy of the millennium has simmered down. During the economic boom, demand for business transformation and scarce ICT skills drove outsourcing. The present economic decline has brought cost reduction back to the top of enterprise agendas, and outsourcing can provide this benefit Whether it involves designing network infrastructure, setting up a help desk, rolling out a new messaging system, or building an on-line business application, outsourcing can contain costs and risks, allowing IT service expenses to grow in a more linear fashion than is possible by building up an all-purpose in-house IT staff.




  • KEY REASONS
    Reduce and control Operating Costs - The major benefits of outsourcing are significant cost savings.

    Faster time-to-deployment: By integrating onsite and outsourcing teams, service suppliers are often able to work on a 24/7 basis, spanning time zones and deploy “follow-the-sun” development to reduce time-to-completion on high-priority projects and testing schedules and deliver rapid cost-effective results.

    Focus on core activities: Outsourcing non-core functions, frees internal resources to focus on business-critical initiatives and reduce dependency on third-party contractors.

    Access critical technology skills: Outsourcing has opened up a global technology talent pool, providing enterprises with affordable access to critical IT skills.

    Improved quality: Outsourcing model help the organizations to improve the quality standards of non core activities processes that, in some cases, are more rigorous than those of their customers.

    Pool of highly qualified Resource: Through outsourcing model qualified resources are pooled at one point that facilitate industry to grow.




  • OUTSOURCING PHILOSOPHY
    VMS has developed a dynamic outsourcing model that helps SMEs to access style of art technologies through skilled personnel at low cost. The model is based on continuous knowledge transfer from VMS to the customer’s in-house staff so that advanced technology can quickly become a core competency.




  • BEST PRACTICES SAVE TIME AND MONEY
    When customers are determining ICT strategies or making decisions about system architecture, VMS diverse experience brings a broader perspective than the in-house IT staff of a small Business it is likely to have. This perspective is further enhanced by the fact that VMS often acts as a testing ground for new technologies. All of this experience helps to counteract the tendency customers may have to develop tunnel vision in their ICT strategies. The old familiar bromides and rules of thumb are often inapplicable to new ICT paradigms such as the virtual office, web-based applications, and centrally managed network resources. Without expert guidance, it's easy for early adopters to become early casualties.

    With many companies who attempt to pilot or deploy advanced technologies fail because of immature or non-existent infrastructure for support and education — not because of some basic flaw in the technology itself. Because VMS is frequently called upon for piloting and implementing leading edge technologies, VMS consultants have developed proven methodologies and best practices to assure success. Customer get where they want to go faster, and avoid the costly scenario of spending significant amounts of time and money only to end up where they started.

    VMS also takes advantage of a state-of-the-art virtual office infrastructure that allows consultants to respond quickly to problems and to marshal the resources required to find solutions. Because VMS has an inside track with many vendors, VMS staff has access to early beta software, special training on leading-edge technologies, and special support programs. This advantage is passed on to VMS Customers, who can use VMS expertise to avoid being blindsided by new technology.

    SMEs having 30 to 2000 users must opt outsourcing model due to following solid reasons:

    • Growing fast with limited Information & Communication Technology resources


    • Progressive view of information management


    • Consider information technology as a strategic competitive resource


    • Save time and money


    • Have access to ICT expertise


    • Transferring core technology to in-house ICT staff



  • CONCLUSION
    To build & promote sustainable environment, outsourcing makes sense for everybody. VMS has the capability and capacity to provide IT services to SMEs through its experts and offer outsourcing solutions, which are flexible, affordable, and aligned with business goals that address the special needs of organization.

A lot of work is done on Linkages between Business Process Re-Engineering and use of Information & Communication Technology to revive sick units and most of the experts have stated that

"There is in the literature a great disparity between hypothesis and evidence. Much of what we know or believe about organizations is distilled from common sense and from the practical experience of executives. The great bulk of this wisdom and lore has never been subjected to the rigorous scrutiny of scientific method. The literature contains many assertions, but little evidence to determine - by the usual scientific standards of Public testability and reproducibility - whether these assertions really hold up in the world of fact."

It is now proved that the fundamental re-thinking and radical redesign of business processes to achieve dramatic improvements in critical, contemporary measures of performance are very essential to achieve objectives such as cost, quality, service and speed. The successful organizations are networked across functional boundaries and business processes rather than functional hierarchies.
