There was a great discussion yesterday on the Church IT Podcast (episode 26) about the benefits of outsourcing both IT services/apps and staff.
Since last fall I've been gathering info and seriously pondering now and then on this whole idea of outsourcing. Several of my IT peers that I highly respect rely heavily on outsourcing ... in particular Tony Dye at Perimeter Church and David Drinnon at Second Baptist.
Yesterday Tony shared some of his philosophy on why Perimeter outsources and the benefits they've gained in doing so. I've heard Tony's thoughts before, but each time I get new nuggets to chew on. If you oversee IT I'd strongly recommend you take a listen.
The discussion starts 22mins into the podcast and Tony's comments start 34mins in .. to listen head over to my blog and scroll down on the right to use the talkshoe media player.
I'll try to interview David and get his thoughts Second's outsourcing strategy in the near future as well.
