  14. Theme 4: Sourcing Policies for the IT Value Chain What is outsourcing? • The phenomenon that appeared in the information systems field in the late 1980s was outsourcing, which means turning over a firm's computer operations, network operations, or perhaps other information systems functions to a vendor for a specified time - generally, at least for three years. TM -14 Dr. Chen, The Trends of the Information Systems Technology

  15. OUTSOURCING CONTRACTING: • COMPUTER CENTER OPERATIONS • TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS • APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT TO EXTERNAL VENDORS * TM -15 Dr. Chen, The Trends of the Information Systems Technology

  16. Why Outsoucing? • Outsourcing has become an option that most CIOs need to consider to satisfy their management that their operation is being run efficiently, effectively, and economically TM -16 Dr. Chen, The Trends of the Information Systems Technology
