Outsourcing of non-core business functions has become almost an essential aspect of modern business processes. Whilst there are some basic themes underlying the practice that differ by industry, the underlying reasons are essentially the same—cost arbitrage and focus on core business processes.

MCS are able to offer a customized and flexible solution to meet the clients specific requirements that could either be a “full-time” resource being permanently “on-site” or a “virtual” staff member for a few hours a week that is able to remotely manage and support parts of the infrastructure.

Outsourcing with a partner like MCS will allow Organizations to use their IT professionals in a forward-facing rather than a reactive, problem solving role. This is particularly relevant to organizations that need to focus highly skilled in-house staff on business drivers of IT rather than administration and “business as usual” functions. The MCS consultants are also commercially aware and are able to bring ideas and suggestions that have been successful in similar organizations or from other verticals if appropriate.

Outsourcing is also appropriate for those organizations that cannot “cost justify” a permanent member of staff for their IT function. With the current shortage of skilled IT resources set to continue, the client will benefit from not having to deal with the potential for staff attrition, work permit issues or finding themselves with a “bad hire”. MCS only employs specialized and certified consultants and so you can be confident that your environment is in a “safe pair of hands”. For many clients we are considered to be part of their Organizational Chart – no greater compliment can be given!
