Computer and IT technology has been around for the last 10-20 years. In the earlier years it was not in regular use, but now IT technology is used in most businesses. As the businesses now run and depend on their IT system entirely, unlike before the files are even stored in the computer database. Nowadays firms, businesses and organizations have started to adopt IT Outsourcing, and a number of the others are planning to adopt it. Some individuals might be aware of the terminology and for some the word outsourcing is not new. Rather their knowledge about outsourcing is limited. Outsourcing is when the business requests the services of an external body to perform a certain job, and instead of that task or job being done in house. A company or an individual can do the outsourcing.

Not all organizations will use the services of outsourcers as for some it is against their ethics and regulations and many are concerned about the security of their data. They are in the minority and a large number of businesses have embraced it. The main reason behind this is that it saves money and time for the businesses. A lot of businesses mostly use outsourcing for jobs such as Web designing and they will hire an individual or company to develop their web site. As outsourcing can extend overseas as well, the business might be established in United States and the individual or company might design the company website from Europe or Asia. In this example the customer would not need to hire employees or find them accommodation in which to work. If they decided to do this project in house then they would probably require an expert in graphics, one in web designing, or possibly even a whole team if the site was particularly large. This will normally work out to be much more expensive than hiring an outsource team to perform the task. By outsourcing, the business not only reduces its expenditure but it saves lots of time, which the business can then utilize in other areas safe in the knowledge that their web site is being taken care of. The business might even use the money saved in expanding the business further and even the time could be utilized here efficiently too.

Besides the financial savings, efficiency and time saving benefits gained from outsourcing the work the business will also make a short term contract which would be just until the website for the business is designed and accessible. Then the people within the existing IT department can handle and manage the website. Therefore there is no need to hire a permanent web designer, graphics team and any others that were required to create the site. The way that a business wants to carry its IT outsourcing will vary from company to company. A lot will depend on the size of the business, the funds that they have available for the work and several other factors that need to be taken into consideration.
