IT Outsourcing
What does it mean ??
IT outsourcing is the practice of using an external service provider to deliver some or all of the IT functions required by a business including managing infrastructure, directing strategy and running the service desk.
IT outsourcing providers can take full responsibility for all IT maintenance and support, this is called a fully managed service, or they can provide additional support for an internal IT team, this is sometimes referred to as co-sourced IT support and is usually an approach taken by larger organisations.
