Why Bring In An Outside Technology Guy?

For many non-profits, small and medium-sized companies where web sites, software, hardware and computer networks are not core competencies, outsourcing your technology functions is a highly effective strategy. For instance:

• Your organization needs a network architect, web designer, software developer or technology strategist but you can’t afford to hire one of each.
• You need these functions, but not on a full-time basis.
• You need to take your organization to the next level and can no longer dedicate your own time or that of your operations people to handling IT needs.
• Your technical person is learning while on the job, is adept at handling certain technology tasks but lacks the expertise to handle others.
• Your technology needs exceed your current IT department’s capacity. You expect this to be temporary but need help now to deal with the issues.
• You want your organization to grow as a sales organization and not a bureaucracy.
• You want to keep your overhead as low as possible and a flexible workforce is key.
• You have to make difficult decisions about how to do more with less and need an objective opinion as to how this can be accomplished.

Wouldn’t it be great to bring someone on board to provide these services only at the times you need them? To have someone to fix the broken or inefficient systems and answer the users’ questions so you don’t have to? To give you the support, information and time so you can focus your energies on the things you do best?

Outsourcing your Information Technology functions is a simple, economical solution that makes sense. In our case, “outsourcing” may be a misnomer: it implies sending your work out. At TSP, we think of ourselves as “in-sources” – our TSP staff will become an integral part of your team when you need us most. Whether working at your site or remotely, we can interact directly with your people, be available to answer your questions, carry out the technology work and do so at your schedule. We tailor our services to meet your needs and timeframe. Whether you need us for a special project, for one day a month, or several days a week, we’re there for you – and with you.
