The government is an agency that was mentioned a lot in the assigned readings. I have some insight on the government and how it makes its IT decisions, and the level of performance at which the government is expected to follow. As far as shareholders and the value of a company, outsourcing may or may not substantially increase or decrease shares. Investors pay particular attention to the type of IT company, and the type of outsourcing in order to develop good reasoning. The question is, are standard financial investment information and criteria are all that is needed to effectively evaluate IT outsourcing decisions? The answer in my opinion is yes and no. Outsourcing is something that is not taken lightly. There are many steps involved when resorting to outsourcing, and a strong management is critical. If invested money is spent on an outside company and the company turns out to be a failure, people are losing money, and are seeking your company for answers.
The government works a little differently than the civilian sector, because of many reasons. The government has a strict budget to follow (most of the time), however there are times that the budget means nothing (i.e. war). For example, IT equipment that is needed for day to day operations on a CONUS military installation will have to coordinate with their resource advisors for funding. If the money is there, and the equipment is indeed necessary, the equipment is usually purchased. The different between a CONUS installation and an overseas-deployed environment is the budget itself. For example if an installation required that same IT equipment as mentioned before, there are usually no questions asked, the equipment will be purchased with funds, and if funds are not available (I am sure there are always funds available in a deployed environment), they will be acquired someway. When we are speaking about wartime contingencies, people's lives are at stake, and the US will do whatever it has to, to make sure we have the equipment that we need at all times.
Outsourcing can have positive factors and negative factors. It depends how you look at outsourcing, and which end you are on (the operating end or the consumer end). If you are on the operating end, outsourcing may benefit your company by saving money. I believe that is the bottom line with outsourcing. Again, a company should be very particular when outsourcing, because the sub-contractor (outsourced company) is a direct reflection of your company. According to CNN, the following popular IT companies outsource labor: Microsoft, Apple, Sun Microsystems, IBM, Cisco Systems, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Gateway. Keep in mind these are just a handful of the many companies that send jobs overseas to earn maximum profits. Outsourcing is great for overseas countries, because many countries have a hard time finding labor. America is employing the world. On the other end, consumers have a hard time with outsourcing, because currently, Americans are having a hard time finding labor as well. It is quite sad when we look at items purchased and they are made in another country. There has to be a way to put some sort of a cap on outsourcing, although many investors will disagree.
Why would an investor disagree with outsourcing? Outsourcing is a positive thing for any investor because it means more money for the company and more money for the investor. It is actually quite simple. When outsourcing though, a thorough financial analysis should be conducted. After all, by outsourcing you are setting up an entire new company on the other side of the world. A company in debt may have a harder time outsourcing, because investors may be more than careful. A company that has a lot of equity means that they have money to back them in judgment. A company is saying that not only are they relying on investors to pull them through, but they are relying on their own funds as well. This shows that they are more than convinced that the company they are outsourcing to is not going to let them down.
Performance measurement is critical in outsourcing because it develops definitions for a company. By analyzing data, a company should be able to approximate how much more money they will bring in compared to if they decided to keep jobs in the US (or whatever country the company originates). Initially there are going to be some up-front costs, but I believe that those up-front costs are covered rather quickly with outsourcing.
Are companies really doing the right thing by outsourcing? My answer is yes and no because like anything else, there are many sides of the equation. An economic crisis can stem simply by lack of jobs and resources. A solution to an economic crisis is to bring more jobs back into the country. What does that mean for the companies - less profit. There is not a single company that is willing to bring jobs back to the US in order to benefit our country. If there were, they would be setting a strong example. If a company says they would be willing to cut back on 10% of their total profits, and bring even 5,000 jobs into the country, they would be setting an example that I think others would follow as well.
The bottom line is that money is money, and no matter how much of it a company has, they always want more. Most Americans dream to own a small business, to own their own house, pay their own bills, and to be self-reliable. Once a business takes off, it is hard to stop.
