In many large companies, innovation is often hindered by bureaucratic processes, a disconnect from end users, and outdated infrastructure. In contrast, small companies have a focused vision to solve specific problems. With limited budgets, they emphasise productivity and creative use of technology. They are not constrained by legacy systems and can offer out-of-the-box solutions with a fresh perspective. The growth of application outsourcing in the last decade reflects this trend. Additionally, smaller outsourcing firms offer specialised expertise, such as in SOC, which may be cost-prohibitive to hire internally. Serving a wide range of clients, they bring a collective experience that surpasses what can be developed internally.
