FIVE QUESTIONS CEOS SHOULD ASK BEFORE OUTSOURCING IT: As IT Outsourcing Surges, Finding the Right Partner is Key

8/18/2021

CEOs already know that outsourcing IT services saves both time and money. After a tough 2020, outsourcing IT services is expected to rebound and continue to grow in 2021. A survey from outsourcing firm Clutch found that eight in 10 small businesses will outsource a business function – number-one being IT services.

“In theory, outsourcing IT services should save companies money,” says Rob Wildman, vice president of professional services at Matrix Integration, an IT solutions and managed service provider for more than 1,000 businesses in Indiana, Kentucky and beyond. “Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. CEOs and company executives need to make sure that if they’re hiring someone to manage their IT, there aren’t any surprises. Their IT should be dependable, and outsourcing should save them time and money.”

As an example, Matrix Integration offers MiAssurance, a managed service package that can take the place of an in-house IT department. To ensure they get the service and the money savings they expect, Wildman suggests that CEOs ask five crucial questions of potential IT service partners:
  1. How flexible is this contract? 
  2. Who will work on my business?  
  3. What’s your onboarding process? 
  4. What do you consider emergencies, and how do you handle them? 
  5. What’s the bottom line? 

For more information on MiAssurance and Matrix Integration can be found at matrixintegration.com.

Hi The Greater Bloomington Chamber of Commerce,
Thank you for such an informative post like this. I am completely new to this digital marketing field and have not much idea about this but your post has become a supportive pillar to me. After reading the blog I would expect to read more about the topic. I wish to get connected with you always for having updates on these sorts of ideas.

Thanks so much for talking about how outsourcing IT can save time and money and for the list of questions to ask potential partners. My brother owns a business and it's grown much quicker than expected so he can't help all his employees when they have technical problems anymore. We've been looking into finding some IT professionals he can outsource to help him keep his company's productivity.

When looking for the best laptop bag, it’s important to assess your needs first. Before you decide on a style, consider what materials you’ll need, how much space you need, and what accessories you need to store.
