16% of companies outsource their IT as of 2011; 64% will by 2020. Why? Outsourcing IT isn’t just a trend, it’s a stampede! And why not, it makes all-around good sense.   There are two, reigning schools of thought when it comes to outsourcing your infrastructure. One is to take a messy, maybe a legacy system grown too convoluted, and farm it out overseas for a complete make-over and then re-implement it, reaping your organization large cost savings in the process. Or, there is the second, a brash newcomer and maybe the next computing paradigm, of hooking every PC in your organization to the Cloud and outsourcing by buying Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Both present value. Which to choose? The first practical step when considering outsourcing infrastructure is to get some sound advice and good counsel. Wincere has decades of deep expertise and experience with infrastructure, in general, as well as in-depth knowledge and know-how when it comes to best-way outsourcing venues for your business-critical system. Infrastructure that is Efficient, Scalable and Secure Outcomes may vary. Just maybe infrastructure is not your best way to streamline your way to competitive advantage. Then too, maybe multi-sourcing ”the use of multiple outsourcing providers, which has become the de facto standard for IT outsourcing,” is your clear solution. Wincere can guide you through all of the complexities of the infrastructure, outsourcing environment. We have advanced sourcing competencies, clear strategies on best decisions to be made, and a best-in-class management team that can take charge and deliver. Wincere will help you to a strategic plan and decision that delivers the most business value and long-term ROI. At Wincere preparation is key and we offer guidance on all of the critical outsourcing considerations, like what will be the eventual size of the retained IT staff and its necessary skills “after” the outsourcing project is complete? While some roles become redundant during an outsourcing engagement, new roles may be required to ensure smooth contract management. Or, what to do about ongoing factors like, managing the outsourcing relationship; maintaining a clear, continuous communication of business needs and expectations; monitoring and managing the supplier; and key considerations on hardware platform trends and emerging technologies that are enabling the commoditization of IT. Important here is virtualization. Virtualization of servers and storage within your data center improves internal efficiency and flexibility. Or even Software as a Service (SaaS) considerations: accessing the cloud for SaaS delivery of applications that allow you to reduce the number of servers you need. If you can eliminate some of your servers, you are already simplifying your infrastructure and reducing the cost of your IT operations. For certain, sound advice and good counsel are vital. Let Wincere do what it does best so that you can keep doing what you do best, run your business
