IT Outsourcing
In the first sense, "IT outsourcing" means hiring somebody
outside your company to provide IT services. Outsourcing is most
common for companies whose IT needs are well known in advance. IT

Such a partner must have people who can work closely with your staff
to understand your unique business problems so that you can deliver,
implement, and service unique solutions.
