12 IT Outsourcing Myths Exploded
Myth #1: Outsourcing is just too expensive, plus we’re worried about additional costs that might come up.
Myth #2: You won’t be able to dedicate enough time to us.
Myth #3: An internal person would be more familiar with our network and systems
Myth #4: Service levels will be lower than in-house.
Myth #5: We won’t be able to build up a good relationship with an external engineer.
Myth #6: We’re worried about security risks: data, files, applications, privacy, compliance, intrusion, viruses, etc.
Myth #7: Outsourced IT/Managed Services cannot support our specialized applications.
Myth #8: If something goes wrong, our workers will be unproductive until you have time to resolve it, and you will prioritize clients who pay more over us.
Myth #9: We don’t want to lose control over the workings of our company (We’re worried this will disrupt continuity in our internal processes).
Myth #10: Only big companies outsource IT. We’re too small.
Myth #11: Outsourcing is ‘all or nothing,’ and we’re not comfortable with ‘all.’
Myth #12: We have regulatory compliance issues, and compliance is more difficult in an outsourced environment
None of these myths is true. In fact, with Stratix Systems on your team, your people don’t have to be IT experts because our people are. You don’t need the robust technologies and systems, because we have them. And because we specialize in IT for smaller organizations, we can offer a level of security and expertise way beyond what most small- and mid-sized organizations can provide for themselves.

Our solutions are SAS 70 certified, HIPAA compliant, and data is encrypted before it leaves the client’s premise and in transit—the same standards utilized by the banking industry. Because we specialize in IT for smaller organizations, we can offer a level of security and expertise way beyond what most small- and mid-sized organizations can provide for themselves.
