The out sourcing option is a strategic move that enables companies to concentrate on running their business, not on running IS related functions. It's a way to manage costs and convert fixed assets to cash - while staying abreast of new technologies. Outsourcing also brings predictability and reliability to the management of information technologies. It offers the advantages of converting fixed costs into variable costs without sacrificing service quality.

High performance companies realize that trying to excel at everything dilutes precious resources and distracts management's attention from strategic issues. They are gaining a competitive edge by concentrating on core competencies that provide high value and contribute to their bottom line. And they are putting information systems (IS) functions in their proper role as strategic enablers rather than core competencies.

Outsourcing has become one of the most powerful management tools today. Labor and resource intensive tasks such as application development, system maintenance, re-engineering, migration and testing, etc can be effectively outsourced by companies.
