1) Information Technology (IT) is a constantly changing. It is difficult to keep up with it.
2) Keeping engineers in a challenging and interesting environment is near impossible. This tends towards churn in IT staffing.
3) Filtering the “geeks” from the solid system engineers is a lot of work. The best person to manage engineers are engineers.
4) Having a full time IT manager is expensive
5) There is no back up during vacations and holidays for internal IT. Holidays mean support and internal helpdesks are usually short staffed.
6) For 90% of the companies and organizations operating, IT is not their main business. Outsourcing the IT function means companies can spend more time on selling and supporting their customers.
7) Life in your company will be much easier, knowing that you have Bright, Quick, and Flexible people keeping your systems purring along and your staff and management teams satisfied.
At AINEO Networks, IT our is what we do for a living. We support some of the biggest brands in the world. We do it full time and have been integrating systems for over 10 years in Tokyo alone. We do IT and do it well.

While I agree with what you say being biased as an IT consultant myself, I’m curious about this statement:
“For 90% of the companies and organizations operating, IT is not their main business. Outsourcing the IT function means companies can spend more time on selling and supporting their customers.”
How can 90% of companies not consider IT fluency a core competency in this day and age? For the sake of argument, is it possible there are some IT roles they shouldn’t outsource? If so, which pieces should they keep in house and which should they contract out?
Perhaps some IT roles require deep, “in the trenches” knowledge of the business to provide relevant workflow systems as opposed to the latest buzz word IT toy that came up in the CEO’s news reader.
Again, I can see both sides of this, but am unsure where the lines are drawn.
Thanks for visiting AINEO.com. Actually, AINEO has a new service that is designed specifically with this mind. If beta testing completes on time it will commence beginning in February.
We have 140 Japanese companies that are looking forward to not having to mess with IT support, service and maintenance. They want to focus on making their medical equipment, car parts, consumer products, chocolate, food products, and so forth. Then marketing and selling their products. This is what their shareholders want to see as they can realize lower costs (without fulltime IT staff) and higher profits. Of course, there are some exceptions to every rule.
Hope that fills in more of what we meant in the original posting. Have a great day!
Congratulations on this new site! Great to see your team is ready and willing to engage in open dialog with your present and future clients.
