When a company is deciding between purchasing equipment versus relying on a service provider we consider a combination of factors. The obvious comparison is between upfront capital and ongoing maintenance costs associated with purchasing equipment versus leasing similar functions from a service provider. Then there are more intangible issues related to things like control (for example, does the person who needs to fix the problem actually work for me, or am I dealing with someone employed by another company over whom I have less leverage), level of responsiveness, and bundling

Generally, there are three interrelated factors: Size of the company, rate of growth, and size and expertise of staff, which interacts, defining the feasibility of outsourcing a telecommunications structure. Generally speaking for large corporations, it makes sense to buy equipment and hire staff to maintain it. If a company is growing quickly, there is a danger of outgrowing the infrastructure before it's time to replace it. In terms of staff some companies have a large telecommunications/IT departments and like to do things in-house. Others prefer to stick to their core business and leave the care and feeding of their telecommunications networks to others.

As we can see there are some gray areas when deciding whether or not outsource a telecommunications network. In addition of the gray areas the decision is further hampered by the fact that most outsourced evaluations are based on the actual company’s expenditures compared with the foreseen outsource price. The problem with this practice is the fact that in most cases the company could be doing a much better job in house than it is actually doing and therefore the comparison between actual expenditures and outsource isn’t fair in disadvantage of the company’s best interests. Therefore, in order to rationalize as most as possible the decision of whether or not outsource a network, it is absolutely crucial the identification of the in house cost-optimized structure and then use this value to evaluate outsource alternatives.

Following this strategy you can guarantee a fair comparison between an in and out sourced solution and make a fair comparison between the intangible factors and the right quantitative figure. We provide the services to address this kind of situation.
