A Little Bit About Infrastructure Outsourcing
Posted on 28. Jun, 2010 by Vivek Krishnan in Internet Entrepreneurs
Infrastructure Outsourcing, many of you might get an idea about it right from the term itself. However, I am having an increasing number of budding entrepreneurs reading this blog. So they might need an introduction to some terms, right from the basics.
What is Outsourcing?
Outsourcing is a term that basically means distributing some part of your work to third parties. We have all heard of popular companies like Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), Accenture etc. These are outsourcing companies. Which means they do some part of the work which is outsourced to them from other companies.
An Example
Suppose you are running a civil engineering business. And you get a client who needs to build a skyscraper with certain specifications. So instead of doing all the work yourself, right from what foundation is the best to what material to use in the building – you can send out some part of the work to outsourcing companies. They will provide you the information and research knowledge which is required.
This way you can save your time, manpower and also costs in the long run. This is the reason why the concept of outsourcing is so popular.
I hope you got what Outsourcing means.
A Bit Of Information About Infrastructure Outsourcing
So I had informed all my readers earlier that my first venture is FizzEdge, which I have started recently. FizzEdge is a startup that periodically holds workshops and seminars for professional bloggers and internet entrepreneurs.
So since my startup holds workshops, I required a place where I can hold them. And obviously I do not have a corporate office where I can hold such events. I hit a dead end on where I can hold my workshops with the necessary infrastructure. The infrastructure I would require would be seating, laptops, presentation tools like projector, screens etc.
This is where after some research and thinking I found a solution – Infrastructure Outsourcing. By infrastructure outsourcing, I will get all the facilities I require without worrying about renting or leasing a place. Since my startup is based in Chennai, I have found out a few companies that provide infrastructure outsourcing here. However, I am looking for even more cheaper alternatives where I may have to spend even lesser.
If you are an entrepreneur who is involved in a startup, then infrastructure outsourcing might be a valuable option available to you.
