We do several outsourcing jobs on the East coast, and all of our clients
prefer it. I think overall it costs a bit more, but they do get the
reliability of having trained people always show up. There is no sick
days, no cant make it, no I have to goto jury duty etc etc. We simply
replace that person with another cross trained individual. Many
companies are reviewing outsourcing as a way to get high end technical
talent or specialized talent in different categories as needed for a set
fee.

Subject: SOT: Outsourcing IT Operations
Hi all--
Located three hours north of Los Angeles and four hours south of San
Francisco, coupled with low government salaries, means we have a devil
of a time trying to find IT staff to fill high-level tech positions. As
such, we're taking a serious look at outsourcing our whole IT operation.
I'm looking for anything and everything you might have on outsourcing
IT--advantages, disadvantages, praises, complaints, costs, whatever.
Thanks much.
