Businesses outsource IT for reasons other than cost

Cost-cutting is diminishing in importance as a reason to outsource IT, according to research of 630 contracts worth £14bn carried out by KPMG.

In its 2012 UK Service Provider Performance and Satisfaction study, the KPMG found 70% of businesses are influenced by cost when making their outsourcing decision. This compares with 83% in the last survey two years ago.

  2. When employing the services of an IT support company , you need to be sure that you are getting good value for money and that means doing a background check on the company. Ask questions and ask to see the company's testimonials, does the staff have the qualifications and experience in order to carry out the work to a satisfactory manner? Nothing is better than having the good reviews that come from satisfied customers, and it is these reviews that you need to look at in detail if you want to find the best IT support company for your business.
