Have You Considered Outsourced Project Management?

Project implementation is a tricky subject for small businesses to approach primarily due to a lack of funding or dedicated personnel. Nowhere is this more true than for technology project implementation, be it a new email server or a revamped networking infrastructure. Depending on your business’ specific situation, it’s often more convenient to simply invest in outsourcing the project management to a third party.

But wait… why would you want to outsource a project that’s meant for your in-house team? Wouldn’t you want your in-house team to handle this project? While it’s certainly a logical argument--after all, nobody knows your business like your business--you should never discredit the value of outsourcing something like project management to a third party. This value is only strengthened for a small business.

Smaller organizations are generally created around a singular idea that focuses on delivering quality goods or services to an area. It would be wrong for your business to have to worry about implementing a project if it doesn’t need to. Any time spent managing the project would be time better spent ensuring that you’re offering the highest quality of product or service to your consumers. This is the major benefit that you get from outsourcing project management to a third party like Directive.

Even if you have an in-house IT department, chances are that you can benefit considerably from outsourcing project management. This is specifically due to the fact that time is a valuable thing for your in-house IT team. They probably have their hands full with their other responsibilities, which could include anything from putting out fires to offering simple, everyday technology assistance. Either way, we’re sure that they have a little too much work to handle during the workday, and you can bet they are a bit too busy to implement any major project.
