In-source or Outsource?

Posted by Jª

There are advantages of outsourcing the Information system of an Institution as well as In-sourcing it. But before we decide on whether to use either of both options, we first must look at the capabilities of the Institution, especially in our school. Some may say that outsourcing our Information System is better that in-sourcing it. But for me, I would choose in-sourcing based on the current position of our Institution.

If I were to take a position on whether to choose between outsourcing and in-sourcing the information system of the school, I would rather choose in-house or in-sourcing.

Outsourcing maybe advantageous in some areas, but surrendering or giving the total control on the Information System of our school to other third party company can affect the security and the integrity of the IS involved. And why do we need to outsource our own Information systems when we have competent and skillful workers that can manage the said system? Also, when problem arises, it can be easily managed and controlled.

But it doesn't mean that we are only limited on in-sourcing alone. We can also make use of both options to improve the quality of our Information System as well as its success. By using both outsourcing and in-sourcing, our school can gain the advantages of both options.

    i agree with you ja...
    and for me, i would choose both..
    its really depends upon the situation or needs of the company or an organization.
    if the in-source can't comply there needs then they have to prefer good out-source.that's it...!

    yupz.. me too.. any of the two would work fine if the task to be done would suit it..

    in choosing what method to use,the administrator must ask what is the requirements of task to be done and shouldn't be concerned much about what is the advantage of one method from another (though it still matter a bit though)
