The biggest advantage of outsourcing a computer department for a company is the cost. The human resource expense of hiring, training and maintaining an entire computer department for its company can be significant. Outsourcing these poistions often saves you a large percentage of your overhead cost because you are paying the fee to a company that already has the necessary processes in place. Organizations view outsourcing as a cost-effective mean to expand into other countries and new markets. In addition to saving money, outsourcing can save time.Computer services requires a specialized skill set and the time to execute the necessary tasks. If you and your staff don't have the time or skills to perform these tasks, attempting to do them may take longer than necessary.=====

On the other hand, outsourcing computer work can make sensitive information vulnerable. In some cases, this leaves you open to security attacks from unscrupulous employees from that company or anyone that the company shares your information with. Depending on the type of computer work you outsource, efficiency may be a problem, too. With an in-house computer team, the response time for a server crash or virus attack would be almost immediate. If you're outsourcing your service, you may have to wait until the company can prioritize you or make it to your office. Outsourcing effects the U.S. economy in a negative way and strips hundreds to thousands of Americans of jobs, especially those that have minimal qualifications. Americans who are in poverty and willing to do minimally skilled jobs find it harder to find jobs, and poverty does nothing for the US economy, other than reduce conumers spending and tax revenues.
