What Is Outsourcing?
In literal terms, outsourcing is the transfer of responsibility
(assignment of jobs) on certain functions to an outside organisation.
At
UET, outsourcing is one of the approaches offered to assist
customers in adding value to their businesses. We use our
skills, experience, expertise and conduct researches to understand
the customer's business approaches and operations. Letting
UET manage your information technology allows you to focus
on achieving competitive advantage while focusing on your
core competencies.
UET
Outsourcing/ Cosourcing
In the private sector, increasing globalisation and rapid
technological advances simply mean organisations are finding
traditional ways to get new products and services to market,
and to source new markets and channels more quickly than ever
before.
In
the public sector, the increasing work load coupled with sinking
or static budgets call for greater efficiencies. The government
is now clear of its core business and has increasingly recognise
its challenges and focus. Operation using large IT unit may
not be necessary after all. In an effort to increase production
of better products and improve services cost-effectively,
IT usage has to be optimised. The non-core business functions
are outsourced to acknowledged experts.
How UET Outsourcing Can
Help
Mmanagement
of information is absolutely crucial to achieve success. Information
technology is advancing so rapidly and has becoming so complex.
Not all organisations can afford to resource an in-house IT
operations and keep abreast with the developments. Experienced
and trained resources need to be identified to handle this
function.
We
at UET specialise in using information technology to meet
our customers' business goals.
What Drives Outsourcing
Decisions?
Competitions
As competition intensifies, organisations must react quickly
to new challenges and new opportunities. Outsourcing non-core
operations like information technology allows you enough time
to deal with business issues. By linking with UET you may
also extend your resources to encompass the knowledge and
experience of a global organisation.
Cost Reduction
Management
Cost saving is still a major factor in a business, but the
focus has shifted from cutting IT costs to using outsourcing
to increase overall business efficiency. Outsourcing to an
organisation that effectively applies IT to reduce its total
enterprise costs, will more significantly impact the bottom-line
than simply outsourcing to an organisation that performs IT
functions at a less cost.
Technology
Keeping in pace with technological changes is essential. Retaining
a leading-edge in in-house IT operation requires significant
capital and ongoing training series for scarce personnel.
For example, most organisations in New Zealand are too small
to make this work.
