A project can be a network upgrade, setting up a new network at a new or remote office, the purchase of new workstations, installing a new server, or implementing network security and virus protection systems network wide.

Thinking about Outsourcing Your IT Project or Network Upgrade?

In a recent survey conducted by American Express, one-third of small businesses with capital-spending plans will invest in technology this year. PCs will be the largest tech investment, with software, printers, servers, and peripherals not far behind. Whatever the reason for increased technology spending, whether on PCs, or other tech-related equipment, one thing is likely: an IT project is inevitable for the integration of new purchases with your current equipment.

An IT project is an endeavor with a definitive timeline (start date and end date) during which specific goals and objectives are met. Projects occur in addition to the regular maintenance of your network and technology equipment, and often emerge as a result of issues discovered during regular maintenance. Since you may not have a full-time technology staff, there is a high probability that you will outsource an IT project to an IT consultant like Corporate Computer Services, Inc.

So, what is the strategy for success when outsourcing an IT project? Below are listed four points from our article, "The Four things Small Businesses need to know Before Outsourcing Their Next IT Project." To view the complete article, click here.

The Four Things Small Businesses Need to Know Before Outsourcing Their Next IT Project:

1. Have a vision and goal for the project in mind, but seek out the professionals to implement the specifics.
2. Manage the expectations of those who will be affected by the project.
3. Select a certified and experienced IT support provider team.
4. Create a specific contract with your IT support provider as well as have realistic expectations about the costs of your project.

Structuring and governing the outsourced project successfully is the most important factor in achieving a positive outcome and a working relationship for the future. Though this requires some shopping and goal-setting on your part, the due diligence you spend up front will more than pay for the successful new or upgraded system you depend upon daily.
