What are different IT teams you can outsource for your VC-backed company

IT outsourcing is important for all businesses. A study ranked IT as the second industry to embrace the virtual work step up. In fact, a survey conducted last 2016 found out that there are already 57% of employees working in information systems who spent most of their time working remotely.

Your business, especially startups, might not have the expertise to handle security-related challenges involving more sophisticated and malicious attacks. But outsourcing network services can help you thrive and benefit from the specialization of the experts. The nature of operations and tasks allow them to function 24/7 with seasoned engineers while ensuring data security.

For VC-backed companies and startups alike, working with a third-party provider to handle IT needs is a good business strategy because they can provide vast IT support such as:

• Custom software development: Develops software specific business needs or workflow optimization
• Software testing:stand-alone and integrated testing services to ensure quality assurance
• Cloud computing: Provides computer system resources like storage and computing power
• Mobile and web development: Develops websites or native mobile apps to boost brand and accessibility
•  Internet of Things (IoT): Develops and implements large-scale IoT public and commercial projects
• UI and UX design: creating user-friendly designs web portals, mobile apps, etc

But the main goal of IT sourcing is to:

• Scale your IT teams fast and efficient

Contrary to popular belief, you can still scale your business even during a pandemic and in a remote from home environment. The right outsourcing partner has access to world-class talent through their A+ recruitment teams and process which can ensure hiring only the best fit people for your company. In return, you can scale your business with great, high-performance teams.

• Save while scaling and help on better funding utilization

With outsourcing you can still save up to 70% on operational costs because the right partner will cater traditional expenses such as recruitment costs, salary and benefits, and overall overhead cost. The money your company saves through IT outsourcing can be allocated on other operating expenses to support the remote work set up.
