In today’s ever-changing world, the concept of “outsourcing” is a new cliché in the work environment. A concept that has made most organizations to manage their core activities while letting external organizations manage some services. Information Communication Technology (ICT) is one area that is highly specialized and the need for non-ICT firms to consult competent IT firms to handle their critical ICT infrastructure is the new narrative and way to go for any organization to be productive, they must outsource.
Netcom Africa, one of the foremost Information Technology firm in Nigeria, with tremendous strides in communication and cyber security has come to the aid of many local firms that are confused on whom to handle their critical IT infrastructure. Netcom Africa is poised to change the way businesses are done as they assist them in digitization, consultancy and business agility. The position of IT is very critical in day to day running of any organisation, and for any organisation to be on the path of productivity and profitability, the need to look at outsourcing is imperative. This void is what Netcom Africa is bridging with their world-class solutions.
Sean Hsu, the Chief Executive Officer of NETCOM Africa said, “As of today every company embraces change because we are trying to predict the future of business’, which is business intelligence, analytical intelligence. It’s not just about cost anymore, the question decision makers should ask is how much can I increase my productivity which equates to revenues by making this investment? These are questioning that NETCOM AFRICA would be answering for Chief Information Officers and Chief Executive Officers.”
In line with the position of the Chief Executive, Yen Choi, the Group Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer of Netcom Africa added that “Outsourcing has been practiced for a long time for most companies, but the onset of the Internet has allowed it to bloom and become bigger as the years go by. If you want to have the advantage when it comes to your business, we recommend finding the right outsourcing company who can provide you with extra help tailored for you. When you work with an independent outsourcing firm that understands your business, you do not need to hire an individual expert as your staff, instead, you can outsource those functions and business objectives and have access to a larger team with much more experience than a single person. Our clients are from many different non-IT industries and have realized that they want to leave the IT management to a competent firm such as Netcom and focus on their core competencies.”
According to Vice President, Corporate Development & Marketing of NETCOM Africa, Charles Harrington, “NETCOM Africa’s managed services are basically designed to reduce organizations’ costs, increase their productivity and also mitigate their business risks.
