More and more companies are opting for an external ICT department because there are advantages that make it worthwhile to outsource ICT management. In this blog post, we explain the 5 main advantages of an external ICT department.
Have you ever thought about the impact of sick leave, retirement or absence of your ICTer on your business? With the tight labor market, recruiters are coming up with proposals that can't be resisted, even for ICT workers who have no intention of leaving your company. In addition to losing your ICT facility, chances are that a lot of knowledge will be lost. Finding new ICT employees is very difficult. This is because the demand for ICT employees is rising rapidly and large companies have a lot of money to spend on this. With an external ICT department, you are no longer dependent on these factors over which you have little control. Take advantage of the security of your ICT administrator's large team so that there is always someone available to help your company.
A lot of money can be saved with an external ICT department, because you do not have to employ ICT person(s) yourself to do so. This saves you various costs, such as the purchase of equipment and office space, as well as employee training and personnel costs. Thanks to outsourcing your ICT management, all the knowledge is already in-house, so you no longer have to spend time or money on training for your ICT administrator. The ICT service provider also has several partnerships, allowing you to get equipment and software at a bargain price.
ICT is constantly evolving, making it important to update your knowledge regularly. This new information allows your company to make use of innovative applications and gives you a strong position in the market. Of course, this investment costs time and money and can delay regular tasks. Often this investment is postponed, leaving innovative opportunities unexploited and limiting your company's growth. By outsourcing your ICT management, you have an entire ICT department at your disposal with different specialists in each field. This allows you to bring a lot of knowledge in-house without having to invest in it directly. In addition, an ICT service provider has several partnerships with suppliers, allowing them to provide good advice on different products and services.
For many companies, ICT is not their core activity, but a support to deliver products and services. Nevertheless, a large part of the employees' capacity is spent on ICT work. This time can often be put to good use for other activities. By choosing an external ICT department, you no longer have to focus on these problems and activities. This frees up more time to focus on other factors of the business. Even if you have your own ICT department, it can still be interesting to outsource your ICT management so that your employees have more time for projects and can better focus on what really matters.
Situations can change quickly, which is why it is nice that your ICT needs can be realized as quickly as possible. This way you can quickly benefit from the new possibilities, you do not have to work in a non-optimal way for a long time and you can be sure that it is the best suited solution. After all, an external ICT department contains many professionals who have gained years of knowledge and experience. This allows the ICT service provider to move quickly in the event of common or very specific problems and the best solution for your situation is always chosen.
