Selective outsourcing is best model when classic outsource model is really not needed. By choosing such model you can innovate ways of reducing costs, whilst maintaining high levels of service for your business critical infrastructure.
Selective outsourcing enable you to retain control of overall strategy and access skills which would otherwise might be beyond reach in cost terms and it can authenticate the benefits of outsourcing while minimizing any perceived risk.
According to Dale Kutnick, president of META Group
”The real benefit of selective outsourcing is the redeployment of people. For example, outsourcing lets you shift your best and brightest people away from ‘drudge’ tasks, such as maintaining operating systems and networks. Now these individuals can help you build a new operating environment, such as the introduction of client/server computing.”
More attention can be focused on strategic activities, which is absolutely essential in today’s tough economy.
