Cost and its influence on IT
• The average annual salary of an in-house IT Manager is around 60,000 – 80,000 THB (source:
“Kelly Services Thailand 2013/13 Salary Guide”);
• Added has to be the cost of:
• Recruitment;
• Additional company benefits;
• Training to keep their skills up to date.
• If this is a price companies cannot afford, they are still left with large potential costs, including:
• IT downtime;
• Compromising the operation of your business;
• Staff spending many hours attempting to solve problems they do not completely
understand.
Lack of In-house Expertise
• Potential lack of space for an extra staff member;
• If company’s IT requirements peak, there won’t always be enough work to keep someone fully
occupied;
• Can’t justify a full-time, in-house employee;
 Outsourcing to a company that offers unlimited IT support contracts provides flexibility to call for
support when in need of help, as if they were a dedicated member of staff.
Extend your in-house expertise
• Maybe you have a designated IT contact or a dedicated IT person in-house. You rely heavily on
them for the CONTINUITY of your IT and therefore your business;
• But what happens if they are already dealing with a crisis when another one comes along? Or if
they are on holiday or off sick when disaster strikes?
• What if there is a serious issue and they try everything they can think of, but nothing seems to be
helping?
 Outsourcing to a dedicated IT firm will give you access to a full team of experts.
Lack of IT skills
• Recruitment is a tough, time-consuming and expensive process at the best of times;
• There are serious shortfalls in skilled IT engineers, since young engineers and developers in
Thailand are focusing on making smartphone apps and developing for trendy niches like
business intelligence (Sources: “Skilled Labour Shortfalls in Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand,
and Vietnam” - A custom research report for the British Council June 2012, The Economist
Intelligence Unit” and “TechInAsia - October 4, 2013”)
• More than half of employers lack confidence in their ability to find people with the right skills for
their business
• If you are not from a technical background, how do you ensure you recruit the right people,
especially when IT skills are in such high demand?
 With outsourcing, once you’ve selected the right IT partner, you have assurance of a highly-
trained team on hand at all times.

Reasons to Outsource IT Maintenance
Preventive Network Support and IT Consulting
Productivity
• If you don’t have an IT department, you might be thinking that it saves money keeping
responsibility for technology in-house and distributing it amongst your staff. The likelihood is that
it is dramatically reducing their productivity.
• More than half of employers are concerned about the ability of their employees to use
computers. Why? For 2012 percentage of establishments in Thailand using computer 23.5%,
and percentage of establishments in Thailand using internet 16.6% (Source – Thai National
Statistical Office).
• This is of concern, particularly if it’s those employees who are left to solve their own IT
problems.
Decisions on using latest technology
• Technology is transforming at a rapid rate. If there’s a new product, upgrade or tool available
that might be useful to your business, how will you know about it before your competitors do?
• Relying on advice of technology product providers may mislead your company based on
marketing gimmicks;
• Building a relationship with an independent and trusted IT services vendor will mean that you
have access to advice from people whose job it is to monitor the market, assess innovations
and work out whether they can benefit their customers.
• They will also gain advance intelligence and training via any industry partnerships they may
have.
Value added services:
• Are you worried about your network’s security? Are you concerned about fast operational
recovery in case of disaster? Are you interested in the business value from a mobile workforce?
Do you need bespoke software to optimise your business processes?
 Your IT support provider may offer you a full range of additional consultancy services as a one-
stop shop;
 The qualified provider makes recommendations that improve your systems and saves you
money.
Providing Constant care
• Chances are that your current IT strategy relies on a ‘break/fix’ set-up. This means that by the
time you know there is a problem, your business and staff’s productivity has already been
affected;
 A competent and proactive IT support provider proactively monitors your systems, identifies any
issues and corrects them before you even notice, virtually eliminating downtime;
 Furthermore they carry out diagnostics on your system, servers and network to prevent any
problems arising in the first place.
Risk Management
• Partnering with experts should not only mean that you experience fewer IT problems, but also
that someone outside your business is responsible in the event of a crisis;
• With the right service level agreement your provider is legally responsible.
