When we are referring to big businesses, outsourcing is more illustrious. It is because it improves the quality through contracting out the service with a new service level agreement. They have an access to operational best practice that would be too difficult or time consuming to develop in-house. When big companies outsource their information systems they will have an access to a larger talent pool and a sustainable source of skills. Outsourcing is subcontracting a process. It involves the transfer of the management or day-to-day execution of an entire business function to an external service provider.
But, outsourcing the information systems function is one of the biggest possible decisions to be made by a school, especially USeP. When we outsource, it also means that we are withdrawing the business function involving the transfer of people and the sale of resources to a provider because we are hiring somebody else to do all or part of the work instead of the person or a company originally hired.
The main business criticism of outsourcing is that it fails to realize the value of the business that the outsourcer promised the client. Because we are a school and we are keeping important records of the students, it is better when we will just keep our Information system in-house. When we in-source we can maintain the control of critical production or competencies.
There is no need for outsourcing the information system because USeP has staff and lots, I think, of human resources that can be considered as an expert in the field of creating information system and things like making databases. We have staffs that are brilliant enough to provide the needs of the school. We can always develop the information system function by improving the ideas we can acquire outside the organization. Although outsourcing offers a lot more, the school can minimize the cost if they will hire people inside the organization and we can make sure that our own concept and design are out of harm's way and protected.
