| Outsourcing is a great way of spending more money to waste money and also of avoiding responsability. Maybe if Officers/Councillors who sign agreements were financially liable then would so much outsourcing take place? Having worked in a place where we had 5 IT staff plus me as a freelancer, i returned later to work in a Team of nearly 20 people. In fact the client had tom recruit a manager to manage the Ourtsourcing. Almost comical as you then get service level agreements which mean that no one is allowed to fix things unless a meeting has taken place. Whether it is cleaning the wards at Ealing Hospital, or IT systems Outsourcing is an Accountants Dream but everyone elses nightmare. Computer Virus or MRSA, the same rules apply. Outsourcing takes away responsability. |
