My chosen Information Environment

My confusion over the exact meaning of information environment caused me to misinterpret the problem. To help myself, I did several repetitions and had a long search. Fortunately, I found this article that explains about it.

I suppose that if I were to identify an information environment of my choice, considering that I would be a part of it, as an IT student, I would rather be in the area that would really suit me and that would execute my abilities.

MyndTech, as my chosen company, and as part of its most valued assets, it is my task to provide them the necessary skills. It is of my concern that their business would continue to improve.

Most of MyndTech’s employees are IT professionals and few of their duties that they performed include web development, web and software design. Given that I am also an IT associated, I could easily relate to them and that is an advantage. I may be an amateur, however, I can be an expert; it is a matter of enthusiasm and close attention to detail. We can do anything we set our mind to.

In serving the company, I should be able to develop large number of solutions to its problem. The more ideas I develop, the greater the chance for me to find the usable one. To be fluent in ideas, I have to acquire the habit of letting my imagination work for me. T And I should work lot harder.

It was nice to know that my idea coincide with that of the company and that is because they do outsource. And why am I so crazy about outsourcing? Well, because it did quiet amaze me.

I am in favor of outsourcing because I do believe that well-trained outsourcing specialists can provide the company the superior processes and management methods to be one of those efficient, innovative and responsive organizations and enabling them to compete in the global economy. Even the other organizations feel to outsource to help them improve their business.

Outsourcing vs. Insourcing

For us to determine what to choose between outsourcing and insourcing, we need to differentiate the advantages and disadvantages including the risks of the two. Some of the organizations based their selection on what their consultant recommends, others, made their decision based on the various factors that influenced their thinking.

If I were to choose, I will go for outsourcing. I want my school outsource its Information Systems for the reasons that outsourcing has more advantages than insourcing and I think it would really help the school in achieving its goals. And as I observed, the school has less number of experts.

Many organizations choose to outsource because they do believe that outside specialists can provide them the superior processes and management methods to make them globally competitive which is also one of the goals of the school. Through outsourcing, the school’s Information Systems will improve and we can be one of those efficient, innovative and responsive organizations. With regards of the risks, organizations including the school should be careful in choosing an outsourcing partner and we should always remember, to succeed, we need to take risks. Success is not a destiny; it’s a matter of choice. Overall, outsourcing offers lot of great benefits.

Whether it is outsourcing, insourcing or the both of them, I would suggest that if an organization is confuse on what to choose, an external consultant could help to determine what kind of business strategy does it needs. It is a fact that sometimes, we need an expert. We can’t deny that.
