Operating Systems

At the present time – a time of financial problems and the difficult economic situation many businesses trying to save on the reduction of staff, faced with the question, "and whether they need a system administrator " Computers and office equipment work seems to be in order, the local network is built. Fired a system administrator, but a month later the problems begin: the printer does not print, Operating System freezes, but still, this viral epidemic in the general work rises. That do? Economize on staff, dismissed the most "not right" employees, as it turned out that the system admin was most necessary, without it the company is idle, and therefore operates at a loss. Yes, of course, the system administrator unique specialist in the state of any company, but alas, the firm does not want to have such a specialist for good wages, which still have to pay taxes and provide worker's place of work, sick pay, vacation, etc. As a result, begin to look for so-called "freelancers" who agree to work not officially and only "on occasion". They do not need any social guarantees, no jobs are needed.

But the firm at risk! Freelancer on any securities are not arranged in organization and there is no guarantee, if that, then he did not ask. And when you consider what they like to put counterfeit software on the computers, then with the first review by the authorities (and start tests just around the corner, if note that for the installation of licensed software not stopped giving suspended sentences – give a completely true), the total will be accountable director, not the "boy from the street." Also unknown freelancer skills, his knowledge can be superficial, which is not included in the scope and needs of the organization. For more information see Reade Griffith. And the reaction time to the problem can drag on for hours and even days. There were no guarantees, no obligations. There is a third option is to organization specializing in computer services namely enterprises, from small to very serious. This is a relatively young structure. At first, many organizations have no confidence in such firms, as Contracts do not specify either the obligation to the Executive, nor any guarantee in case anything happens, no time to respond to the problem. Every year the outsourcing company's improved and now many of them provide guarantees, and even specify the time to respond to a request.

There were even outsourcers in the field of legal services, personnel and accounting, and I think this is not the limit. There may be a subscription service computers, and single works. And much cheaper than the first. For those clients who are in the subscription service are more loyal, in addition to the services added to a variety of free services (in some companies). Word of it outsourcing in the current era of more intelligent than the other options, but who knows maybe that will soon be a new branch in the area of information services.
