You would think that with the political climate of keeping jobs on-shore, lack of new IT initiatives, etc. that off-shoring would also decline. However, a survey of more than 200 IT organizations found that among small and midsize organizations that outsource at least part of one IT function, the percentage using offshore service providers rose from 14% in 2008 to 24% this year.
There are many reasons for this:
1. SMBs are seeking to reduce costs.
2. There is a better supply chain of off-shore service providers who cater to SMBs.
3. Traditional offshore providers are doing a better job selling to SMBs.
4. Web-based provider networks are gaining momentum.
5. The recession led to a pent-up demand for IT services.
Outsourcing 3.0 will lead the way for organizations to build and manage technology efficiently. Traditional outsourcing (Outsourcing 1.0) was initially very successful as outsourcers learned to deliver IT solutions with the appropriate Service Level Agreements (SLAs) using attractive pricing models.

IT Governance helps align IT activities to best meet the business requirements of Small to Mid-Sized Enterprises (SMEs). Most Governance methodologies start with alignment at the top. This is a reasonable approach for all organizations where the traditional involvement of board-level executives in IT issues was to defer all key decisions to the company’s IT professionals. IT governance helps facilitate decision making across all stakeholders. This prevents IT from independently making and later being held solely responsible for poor decisions.
