An organization’s IT department is pivotal in helping carry out the company’s purpose and reach its goals. It can be challenging for in-house IT departments to keep pace as businesses and their technologies evolve and grow. Outsourcing various IT responsibilities may represent the ideal solution for scalability and expertise.
Overview of IT Departments in Today’s Businesses
The modern in-house IT department faces numerous challenges, including:
- They’re overwhelmed: IT departments are busy, often leading to extended hold times and slower resolutions. These situations create team member burnout and end user frustration.
- There’s a skills gap: The global technology sector is experiencing a significant labor shortage. That gap will likely widen with a 15% increase in predicted demand, leaving IT departments understaffed.
- The digital transformation pace increased: The pandemic thrust many into adopting new technologies sooner as the world changed how businesses operate. As more companies embrace emerging technology, the demand placed on IT departments will rise.
