What is IT project outsourcing?

IT project outsourcing is when you hire a vendor or contractor to take on a specific IT task, usually with a fixed time frame and scope. Common IT projects that are outsourced include server migrations (e.g., from on premise server to the cloud), email migrations (e.g., from G-Suite to Microsoft 365) or integrating multiple systems together.

A need comes up that their internal IT team doesn’t have the expertise or bandwidth to resolve and outsourcing the project is a natural solution. Most managed service providers also provide IT project outsourcing, although some will only do so for existing managed clients. It’s not uncommon for a company to decide to sign up for managed services after a positive experience with an IT project completed by an MSP.
