Outsourcing and Managed Services

When businesses need expertise or skills that they don't have within their organization, they often turn to outsourcing to solve their problems. Outsourcing means just what it says -- going "out" to find the "source" of what you need. These days many businesses outsource for what they have to serve their customers.

Outsourcing refers to the concept of handing over specific operational areas of an organization to an outside firm or firms. This means the transfer of ownership of a business process by an organization to the supplier of that process where the client puts forward the requirements to the supplier and authorizes him to own, operate, or redesign the underlying processes. This entire cycle ensures greater cost and efficiency benefits for the client. In short, the client is interested in the end product or the solution and the provider or the supplier takes care of the intermediate processes.

It is important to differentiate between Outsourcing and Managed Services. Outsourcing is about taking on a full function or multiple service lines for customers and delivering them back on a Service Level Agreements basis, it is more of a strategic partnership and tends to last for seven to 10 years. Managed Services, on the other hand, tends to consist of more tactical point solutions, dealing with single lines of infrastructure service such as storage or application hosting.
