Why Hire Outside Services

There are at least three good reasons for going outside your own organization for computer support:

To gain objectivity. The outside consultant or contract specialist brings a fresh and unbiased view to your situation and needs, something those who are “close” to the problem have difficulty in achieving.

To avoid undue staff pressures. Requiring your own staff to mount extra effort when they already bear a full workload is not in the best interests of your management. Workers do not produce their best work under such pressure. The outside consultant is able to concentrate full attention on the problem and bring technical expertise and experience otherwise not generally found within the office staff.

To bring special skills to bear. Network computing, especially in the modern sense with all the high-tech developments of recent years, is highly specialized. Especially when it comes to troubleshooting you network. It’s a job for a specialist who has no conflicting duties.
