There has been a consistent increase in the number of businesses that are 
opting for IT outsourcing. In IT outsourcing, an enterprise will make use of 
the services of either a domestic or an overseas IT service company for 
developing apps for a variety of business processes and applications.
There are several benefits from IT outsourcing and lists of major ones are 
listed below:
Access to Experts 
The biggest benefit is that a business is able to quickly utilize the services 
of professionals with the right expertise in highly specialized Hi-Tech skills. 
It is the organization to which the service has been outsourced is 
responsible for the training the personnel and building their expertise. In 
this context, the business is not burdened while it can make use of the 
services of talented people. Many times, the expert could be not from the 
city or geographical area of the business.
Remain focused on core business
In situations where Information technology is not the main activity or core 
competency of the business, IT outsourcing becomes very beneficial to 
most business areas. Outsourcing IT activities is going to be of immense 
value as the organization can remain focused on its core competency. This 
greatly contributes to the organization’s long-term interests by focusing 
energies on areas most relevant to the business. 
Improved effectiveness
When your IT activities are outsourced to a reputed company, you can 
rest assured of improved effectiveness. Frankly, for a typical business 
spending time and energy on better IT solutions is not possible. However, 
for a reputed IT company their focus is on this niche area so they can 
deliver better solutions. 
Speedy deployment of latest technologies
This is one more significant plus point of IT outsourcing. The business is 
benefited by the quick deployment of new technologies to improve its 
operations.
When the IT services are outsourced, the organization is going to be in a 
stronger position compared to its competitors who will be trying to get 
everything done in-house. This should provide the business an edge over 
its competitors. 
Minimization of IT costs
Outsourcing of IT operations enables the business to reduce its IT and 
operational costs. When in-house resources are not fully utilized will 
lower their efficiency and this could cause costs to bloat. A significant 
benefit to a business by outsourcing to an offshore vendor is that they can 
hire the best quality talent at significantly lower costs. 
Time zone advantage
An article about the benefits of outsourcing shall be incomplete if we do 
not speak of the time zone advantage. An organization based in any of the 
Western countries can just allot the tasks to its Asian service provider, at 
the end of the day. When the business hours resume the subsequent 
morning, the task would have made much progress. On small tasks that 
need to be addressed immediately, this can be a great benefit. This result 
in company’s capability to respond faster to its customers and gain 
positive reputation among its customers leading to competitive 
advantages.
Decline in risk
Whatever might be the exact business of an organization, the risk element 
is always there. These risks are because of unforeseen economic 
conditions, competitors, and governmental regulations. But, when some 
operations are outsourced, the risk that the company bears gets reduced. 
The risk is shared among the business and its service provider/s.
