Why they don't work with you?

Thinking of outsourcing your IT work? You might want to think twice. While outsourcing can seem like a good idea at first, there are several reasons why it might not be the best option for your company.
First up, let's talk about the loss of control. When you outsource your IT work, it can feel like you're handing over the reins to someone else. It's like asking your teenage kid to drive your car - you're not sure you trust them, but you're too tired to do it yourself.
Communication can also be a challenge when working with outsourcing agencies. It's like trying to have a conversation with your grandparents on Zoom - there's a lot of nodding and smiling, but you're not sure they really understand what you're saying.
And then there's the issue of quality. When you outsource your IT work, you're putting your faith in someone else to do a good job. It's like asking your neighbor to water your plants while you're on vacation - sure, they mean well, but will they remember to water the fern in the corner?

Cost can also be a concern. It's like buying a knockoff Gucci bag - it might seem like a good deal at first, but in the end, you're just left with a cheap imitation.
And let's not forget about security. When you outsource your IT work, you're putting your company's sensitive data in someone else's hands. It's like asking your ex to hold onto your phone for a minute - sure, they promise they won't look at your messages, but do you really trust them?
There have been plenty of examples where outsourcing companies have lost contracts due to quality or security issues. In 2013, Target suffered a massive data breach that was traced back to a third-party HVAC vendor. And in 2017, British Airways experienced a major IT failure that was blamed on outsourcing to India.
