Comments on: Financial Crisis….. an Outsourcing opportunity! https://www.optinism.org/2009/01/05/financial-crisis%e2%80%a6-an-outsourcing-opportunity/ This blog is brought to you by Born Interactive. It is a pro-active initiative to face the year 2009’s negative vibes and uncertainty due to the evolving and escalating global financial crisis. We dedicate this blog to all the positive-minded people who seek opportunities in trying times, who view problems as challenges and who always look ahead and work for a brighter future. At the threshold of 2009, it is neither destructive pessimism nor blind optimism that is needed but a state of “optinism”, which is why we launched this blog in the first place.

Outsourcing really of helps especially in this time of downturn. It saves money, time and it helps companies focus on their other important tasks.

Yes, Google (Cloud Computing), Amazon, IBM, Microsoft(Hosted Exchange), Salesforce.com and Yahoo are heavily exploring in this arena. This shows the potential in only one type of outsourcing, the Managed ICT Services. Always ready to explore any business idea....

For instance, I was working in the distribution business. 2 of the brands I used to manage where bought by the competition! And these 2 brands were not small ones and they were not in debt! they were rising in the market and that's exactly why they were bought. So assuming you have your own company, do you truly trust puting part of your business in the hands of an outsourcing firm, especially in times of crisis like this? Before 2000, oursourcing was the key! it all went down after the 2000 IT burst... Today, Microsoft and Google are very carefully and very slowly going in this direction for example. I am sure they will buy any new comer to this space in their race to managed services... So is outsourcing the right strategy? I believe there is something in the middle, between outsroucing and in-house. The one that can come up with a creative/innovative approach to this space will be the next big shot! what do you think? Let's evaluate this idea, maybe we can crack it and actually develop it ;) I hope my boss doesn't read this blog :):) In a crisis like this one, big companies are buying small ones, big banks are buying smaller ones, and so on…
