the truth about oursourcing
An internal IT department takes substantial transparency costs with it. Benefits and training alone can take a considerable bite out of your IT budget. IT consultants, on the other hand, carry no such costs, and are focused upon the goal of identifying and implementing solutions to make more efficient operations, improve productivity and control costs. The truth of the matters is that IT outsourcing is a more budget-friendly answer. People are moving closer and closer to equal stratification, meaning that while we may not all be on the same playing field, we are approaching a point where we are all born into the same swimming pool. An individual born into the world today has more of a chance than ever before to live up to their possible. Nothing new at the low end. People can always fuck up, regardless of the lack of opportunity, and maybe sometimes success is just not worth it. In some past and present societies success is simply staying alive - instinct, more or less. In this case, outsourcing frees up the people with ideas to think more, and enables the people with technical skills to capitalize on their ability. Naturally, it seems that the thinkers should be above the technicians, but generations later, when the thinkers may not the technical know-how, the tables may turn.
