In the era of technology 4.0 moving towards 5.0, IT systems play an indispensable role in the development of small businesses. Managing and operating IT systems will be more efficient and easier if you are familiar with the IT Outsourcing model. Because small businesses often encounter limitations in financial resources, lack of specialized personnel, lack of experience and knowledge in IT, and difficulties in data security, etc.

I. Understanding the IT Outsourcing Model

IT Outsourcing is when a company hires a third party (service provider) to manage, maintain, and operate the company’s information technology. Instead of handling these tasks themselves, the company will transfer them to an external partner with more expertise and experience.

IT services that should use the IT Outsourcing model: IT Infrastructure, Virtual Private Server (VPS), Computer System Configuration, System Backup and Recovery, IT Security System.

II. 4 Benefits for Small Businesses When Using the IT Outsourcing Model

1. Cost Savings

Not only small businesses but all types of businesses need to optimize costs. Spending too much money to invest in IT infrastructure, software, equipment, and specialized personnel makes it difficult for small businesses to balance the company’s maintenance costs. At this time, the IT Outsourcing model operates with the advantage of not needing to pay for expensive IT infrastructure costs (including: servers, software, network equipment…), no need for maintenance, repair, and upgrade costs. IT systems,… will definitely help businesses save a significant amount of money.

Besides, the human factor is a prerequisite when working. Through a survey on IT labor costs around the world, it is found that in developed countries such as the US, UK, Germany, India, China… the cost to hire an IT staff is often high to very high. But if you hire personnel in developing countries like Vietnam, it will be more optimal as in the past 10 years, Vietnam has been a country with abundant human resources under 30 years old, well-trained from universities, with rapid adaptability, dynamic and enthusiastic working ability.

With the above advantages, Vietnam’s IT Outsourcing model human resources can help small businesses both save operating costs and ensure progress and work development. With the saved costs in this phase, businesses can invest in developing new products, expanding markets, and enhancing customer experience towards a customer-centric business in the near future.

2. Focus on Core Business Operations
