Companies often sign short or long-term contracts to commission the management of its information resources to an external party, either partially or in full, in order to focus on its core capabilities, make the most of external expertise or save costs. During this process, resources (such as H/W, S/W, N/W or personnel) are handled entirely or partially by a specialized party outside of the firm. This is called IT outsourcing.
In other words, the development and maintenance of hardware and software related to the company’s IT system is handed over to a firm specializing in IT such as GIA Consulting to have them look after long-term planning, repair and maintenance. In doing so, the company can not only maintain an optimal system to meet customer needs but can also apply the know-how of an expert IT firm to establish the best information infrastructure.
