The Impact

This study focuses on the information technology (IT) outsourcing decision and asks whether reported financial statement data can measure short-term financial effects of the IT outsourcing decision and thus add to the literature on the benefits of outsourcing. In this study we used accounting metrics derived from archival financial data to assess the impact of IT outsourcing on firms performance measures. In the sample of 79 firms from 1986 to 2009, there were 45 firms in the manufacturing sector and 34 firms in the service sector. The comparative study between manufacturing and service sectors will help identify where the higher potential of outsourcing impact lies. Firms performance is measured over a two-year period, one year before and one year after outsourcing decisions were made. For performance measures, we used cost efficiency, productivity, profitability, growth, cash management, and market ratio metrics. Using accounting metrics we show that IT outsourcing has a favorable short-term impact on manufacturing firms cost efficiency, productivity, and cash management. At the same time outsourcing the IT function has little favorable impact on service firms short-term performance measures.

Hierarchy Process

Decisions related to managing IT resources - which resources to keep in-house and which resources to outsource - are critical to business success. The goal of this paper is to show the usefulness of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as a decision-making tool for IT sourcing decisions, based on an analysis of factors that recent literature found to be associated with IT sourcing risk. Although the AHP previously has been suggested for IT outsourcing decision making, this study is the first to consider evaluating the risks of offshore outsourcing, rural outsourcing, and in-sourcing IT processes by using the AHP. From the perspective of the expert decision maker, three IT sourcing strategies were evaluated with respect to 58 criteria. The case study example presented in this paper shows the effectiveness of the AHP to support management for this business decision. The authors' results show that a systematic approach to analyzing outsourcing can reduce the uncertainty and risk that is common in such decisions.
