In todays competitive environment, many Companys outsource not only their IT Organization but multiple divisions of their organization to allow them to focus on their core competencies.
Companys have come to realize that iTilasia specializes in
IT infrastructures and that
we use ITIL best practice methodologies
within our organization.
Knowledge Process Outsourcing
is the newest form of outsourcing
that takes BPO a step further.
Knowledge specialization
is the one key aspect of
KPO that enables companies
to utilize the knowledge
of others. The newest form
of Outsourcing is what
we do, we provide our clients
with a network of Knowledge.
Most Companys that outsource stipulate we take on a percentage
of their existing staff,
thats
terrific and we encourage
this arrangement. Typically
the employees know your business
better than we do,
at least from the start,
but we will learn your
business and improve the
business by working closely
with you.
We are firm believers in
providing Training to our
staff, all receive the IT
Service Management Essentials
course as they come onboard.
Management is trained at the Practitioner
level in ITIL for the area
that they specialize, such
as Change Management, Service Desk Management, Service
Level Management, etc. Our
clients can be assured ITIL best practice is followed
within our IT outsourcing
Organization.

Disciplines
Certain ITIL disciplines will emerge as fundamental, such as Service Level Management. Others will be employed more actively during the outsourcing transition. However, the use of ITIL will certainly help ensure a more rigorous and robust arrangement, which ultimately will benefit both parties.
ITIL Based Outsourcing Aids
We have, in fact, recently identified a tool which specifically uses the disciplines of ITIL to help organizations manage their initial and ongoing outsourcing arrangements. The IT Outsourcing Toolkit is actually a variant of the well known ITIL Toolkit, but includes components and documents to assist those undertaking an outsourcing operation.
These include a pre-written service level agreement, a benchmarking audit kit, a service level requirements template, a blueprint outsourcing contract, a transition plan guide and various other ITIL and outsourcing related documents.
It is more fully documented on its own site: IT Outsourcing
ITIL, Outsourcing And Security
Again, security is an issue for which ultimate responsibility cannot be readily transferred. It must be managed. Within an outsourcing scenario, much of the emphasis will naturally shift towards agreements and contractual controls. Particular care should therefore be applied during project inception to ensure that these are not only in place, but are fully adequate and appropriate.
