Out-Tasking your SharePoint Environment

Companies today are struggling with reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and focusing on strategic initiatives that will directly and measurably impact their bottom lines. IT delivery organizations are still tasked with meeting acceptable service levels while dealing with massive storage growth, increasing complexity, and shrinking budgets with potentially a reduce staff. Companies are forced to find alternative and more cost effective ways to maintain service levels.

Complete outsourcing isn’t very popular with IT managers. However, one area that is gaining more traction is “out-tasking”. This does not follow the traditional outsourcing model where a company gives up its control of an entire IT environment. Instead, it is a more selective process in which a company partners with trusted third parties to perform specific tasks within its environment. In SharePoint, for example, tasks could include handing of backup operations, taking Level 1 and Level 2 support functions, optimizing search, performing analysis of error log files etc. Out-tasking is about leveraging highly focused expert third party resources to cost-effectively optimize and better control company-owned internal resources. In many cases, out-tasking frees internal resources from mundane repetitive tasks, allowing greater focus on revenue-producing strategic initiatives.
