What is IT project outsourcing?

IT project outsourcing is when you hire externally for a project with a specific scope and time period. It often involves integrating multiple systems and even other vendor services. Think of a project to migrate your business from an on-premises server to a cloud solution. That cloud migration project requires specific skills, previous experience and a lot of dedicated time to go smoothly; things that most in-house IT teams will have trouble fulfilling. Project outsourcing is the answer. Some managed service providers will offer IT projects in general while others will only complete them for their managed clients.

Other common IT projects are email migrations and CRM integrations.
