Små og mellemstore virksomheder kan ganske enkelt ikke konkurrere med omkostningerne ved it-outsourcing. Samtidigt er det ikke længere nok at have en lille it-afdeling, da der kræves flere færdigheder inden for support, drift, sikkerhed, compliance og governance, end nogensinde før. For at sikre virksomhedens konkurrenceposition, bør ejere og ledere kraftigt overveje at supplere kerneforretningen med outsourcing af deres it.

Why small and medium-sized business owners should use IT outsourcing

Time is your most important capacity - and when you run a business, it is important not only to scale on the physical number of employees, but also on the workforce and resources that are closely linked to the business. Just as companies can rarely achieve full-time results with a part-time role in finance, operations or sales and marketing, the same applies to the IT department. When you scale, it is important to have a structured IT process in place to support the company's other employees and departments. The internal IT department quickly becomes a bottleneck instead of supporting development.

It-outsourcing koster sjældent mere end at have funktionen internt. Når du driver en virksomhed, er det nemt at komme til at øge omkostningerne på medarbejdere, projekter og produkter. Outsourcing giver dig mulighed for at frigive og dermed aflaste interne ressourcer til en tæt samarbejdspartner, der kan gøre arbejdet mere effektivt og opnå stordriftsfordele, som kommer dig til gode både operationelt og strategisk. See how here.

What are the benefits of IT outsourcing?

The biggest advantage of IT outsourcing is the flexibility of your operation. Senior staff involved in operational processes, such as a CEO, CFO or partners, are always on call to take care of any situations that arise. They want IT operations to run smoothly. It is difficult for a smaller company to keep an eye on all the IT problems that may arise - especially around ongoing IT operations, external threats and GDPR. The risk for the small or medium-sized company that manages its IT activities itself is therefore high. IT outsourcing provides precisely that competence and creates the precautions that are essential for the company to focus on the core business instead of downtime, conflicts and other IT problems.

Why outsourcing has an advantage over internal IT?

An IT employee can quickly end up with tasks that are not directly motivating or where the right skills are not present. In addition, it is a challenge that the person must both perform IT support for the company's employees and simultaneously implement the necessary steps that will lay the foundation for the company's IT operation, security and GDPR. Furthermore, management must be supported with analyzes on strategic IT improvements and efficiencies. Therefore, the IT employee may be better off for the less monotonous and autonomous functions or in a strategic focal point where direction, systems and decisions are coordinated.

On a daily basis, your company needs the freedom to have schedules, production and workforce planning adapted to your customers and their needs. Outsourcing ensures full availability 24/7 and that tasks are completed on time. At the same time, outsourcing also ensures that they are delivered with quality and at the right price, without compromising on other tasks in everyday life. It ensures help at eye level in a digital and structured form, which frees up internal resources and creates well-being because the problems are solved quickly. Most importantly, it gives SMEs more time to focus on their core business.

Conclusion

It is difficult to challenge the idea that small and medium-sized companies cannot compete with larger companies in internal IT, as they are simply understaffed and cannot match skills, pay and delivery time. IT outsourcing can therefore be the best way to compete on equal terms, without indirectly damaging the company's competitiveness in either the short or long term.
