IT-outsourcing – hidden costs
No full textMany corporations turn to IT-outsourcing to focus more on their core competence or to cut the IT-budget. There is one caveat, the costs presented at a first glance does not always present the entire truth. Instead the costs run deeper and so-called hidden costs exist beyond the contractual cost. Reducing these hidden costs may very well be crucial to the entire IT-outsourcing endeavor. However many firms are not aware of these costs and as such they have a reduced chance of success. Increasing this awareness is the intention of this paper. One organization with about 30 users is studied herein. Hidden costs in the IT-outsourcingprocess may exist in; contracts, vendor selection, transferring IT-functions, managing and measuring the effort. Reducing hidden costs is done early in the process; the contracts should be airtight and specific, proper vendor research is a must. Critical IT-activities is best left in-house and IT-competence must be retained by the organization regardless of outsourced activities. If the job is done properly in the early stages the end result will likely be better
IT from a sustainable perspective
No full textIdag är det allt fler företag som arbetar utifrån ett hållbarhetsperspektiv d v s de
arbetar med ett ekonomiskt-, socialt och miljömässigt ansvarstagande. Som det ser ut i
dagsläget med allt större fokus på att företagen tar sitt sociala och miljömässiga
ansvar så kommer de ansvarstagande kundföretagen att behöva öka kraven då de
upphandlar IT-relaterande tjänster eller IT-relaterade produkter. Vår studie baseras på
en kvalitativ metod där intervjuer har gjorts hos fem svenska företag. Respondenterna
i de olika företagen var högt uppsatta personer med god insyn i hur deras
verksamheter drivs. Studiens fokus har legat på hur IT-avdelningarnas kravställande
vid upphandlingar sett ut från ett hållbarhetsperspektiv. Resultatet av arbetet har visat
att även om företagen har en hållbarhetspolicy, så följer deras IT-avdelningar inte
med i utvecklingen mot en hållbar utveckling. Den ökande betydelsen av varumärket
gör att IT-avdelningarna måste bli mer medvetna och utarbeta en större medvetenhet
om hållbarhetstänkande och praktik eftersom varumärket annars kan hotas
Greener IT using balanced scorecard
No full textThe concept of green IT is a hot topic in the industry right now. The requirements for
environmental friendliness are becoming increasingly common. There is a lack of knowledge and
understanding of what green IT means and how it can be achieved. Our study shows that the use
of ICT can never become entirely green, but a lot can be done to become greener. We have
produced a balanced scorecard which in theory leads to better governance, increased knowledge
and a common picture of what the work of greening IT means for employees and the
organization. With the help of literature review, survey, interviews and analysis of the industry,
we have identified important factors for organizations work to achieve greener IT with the
support of a balanced scorecard
