The aim is to use resources more efficiently and draw on the expertise and technologies of the service provider.
What does IT outsourcing cost?
The costs for IT outsourcing vary greatly and depend on several factors, such as the scope of the IT services to be outsourced, the location of the service provider (onshore, nearshore, offshore) and the specific requirements of the company. Please contact us with your project to find out more about the costs. We can show you various options.
When does IT outsourcing make sense?
IT outsourcing is particularly useful when:
- internal resources are not sufficient to maintain the IT infrastructure,
- special expertise is required that is not available within the company,
- flexible solutions are required in order to be able to react quickly to market changes,
- cost savings are to be achieved through external services.
What is nearshore IT outsourcing?
Nearshore IT outsourcing refers to the outsourcing of IT tasks to service providers in geographically close or neighboring countries. The advantage lies in the proximity and similar time zones, which enables better communication and collaboration. Thanks to our IT company headquarters in the Nuremberg area, at the Neustadt Aisch site, we are a reliable partner with regard to GDPR and other important security and data protection issues.
What is offshore IT outsourcing?
Offshore IT outsourcing involves outsourcing IT services to service providers in more distant countries, often with the aim of benefiting from lower labor costs. Offshore outsourcing can be cost effective, but requires good coordination due to time zone and cultural differences. With our second location, based in Malta, we have an offshore option that is still GDPR compliant due to being based in Europe.
How does IT outsourcing adapt to technological changes?
A major advantage of IT outsourcing is the opportunity to benefit from the latest technological developments. As an external IT service provider, we invest in modern technologies and innovative solutions that we can also offer our customers. By outsourcing, companies can ensure that they not only remain at the cutting edge of technology, but can also react quickly to new requirements.
