The chairman and managing director of Indian firm Eastern Software Systems (ESS), Anil Bakht, explained to eWorld that increasing numbers of firms are finding that their growing business requirements and stretched staff numbers mean that they are struggling to keep up with their core competences.
This has seen many firms turn to TITO specialists to take care of IT matters and leave staff to concentrate on running the business.
"Worldover, businesses are going leaner in terms of their head count," said Mr Bakht.
"Businesses should concentrate on their core activities rather than grapple with technology. It is best left to people or companies for whom IT is the core activity."
He added that through the use of service level agreements, it is far easier for IT outsourcers to be penalised financially or let go if their work dips below an agreed standard than it is to fire and hire staff or reduce their salaries.
