The Most Requested Types of IT Outsourcing Services

The demand for quick cost-efficient scaling makes the majority of leading technology companies turn to IT outsourcing services or subcontracting as a solution. In a way, they “outsource their stress” and avoid extra costs for hiring and maintenance of full-time teams that might lack the required skills in the first place.

Reportedly, 92% of G2000 companies use IT outsourcing, and the demand for IT outsourcing services is growing. It covers various business areas and strategic domains in tech companies, including consulting, software design and development (desktop, web, mobile), quality assurance, software maintenance, support, etc. 

In this piece, we will tell why businesses need IT outsourcing and show examples of the most requested IT outsourcing services.

What are IT Outsourcing Services?

IT outsourcing services include the transfer of certain business functions or processes to a third-party contractor specializing in the provision of these services. Many companies often lack the opportunity to set up the whole software product team quickly and efficiently. Thus, it’s a common case they decide to outsource some services and consider it as a strategic solution. This enables companies to concentrate on profit-generating activities instead of routine tasks and get services from experts in the required domain, meanwhile controlling the volume and speed of execution.

Types of IT Outsourcing Services

If you decide to outsource IT services, first, you must decide whether to employ nearshore, offshore or onshore, as well as the impact of this decision. Each of these paths has its challenges. Types of IT outsourcing are distinguished by the form and place of service provision. These are: 

  • Offshoring means moving service development abroad. As a rule, this decision allows customers to take advantage of lower costs or a more favorable economic climate in the chosen country. Offshoring enables companies to conquer new markets and establish their new products faster. 
  • Nearshoring means a transfer of software development to a neighboring and closely located country with small differences in the economical situation of your spot.
  • Onshoring allows customers to hire additional resources within their own country, and accordingly avoid some issues like different time zones and language barriers. On the other hand, however, the customer may face some shortages of specialists and end up on the long waiting list for the required talent, not to mention issues of high rates.

In the age of the Internet, promoting a business through a website is an important process that is of great importance for the development of a business.

Simultaneously, website development requires time, finances, professional knowledge, and the involvement of a specialist team. Speaking of us, MWDN designs intuitive websites with improved error-proof code and an SEO-optimized structure.
