Features: This is an authoritative guidebook on network outsourcing. Network outsourcing refers to the practice of businesses leasing or "pay-as-you-go." Multiple clients entrust their business applications (such as human resource management or accounting processes) to a supplier to be managed, allowing them to share resources over the Internet or other networks. Network outsourcing can bring significant potential value to clients, but currently, many still view it as an immature choice. Business managers often worry about the reliability and security of the Internet and may doubt this "one-to-many" solution due to the uniqueness of their business needs, even suppliers can provide the systems they require. So, how can clients reduce the risks of network outsourcing while gaining its benefits? How can network outsourcing be compared and combined with other forms of outsourcing? This book will answer these questions for many confused client companies and help them objectively evaluate the commitments of outsourcing services and the capabilities of the suppliers providing them. On the other hand, for suppliers, this book allows them to gain deep insights from the experiences of early adopters of network outsourcing. More importantly, it enables them to understand what clients are thinking before serving them, thereby increasing the likelihood of their successful implementation of network outsourcing.
