My new essay about IT-outsourcing
A small business, as a rule, has to operate under conditions of a constant lack of resources — money, time and people. This is why it is crucial to dispose of all you have properly. Clearly, that it is an unattainable luxury for a small company to spend its resources on minor business tasks. Strategically, the winner is that one who chooses priorities and concentrates on the most important, delegating all the rest to outsourcers.
In IT area there are a lot of aspects that are not critical for business. At the same time IT is a very specific area requiring deep knowledge of the people who work in it. For this reason, outsourcing here is very much to the point. It gives a perfect opportunity to safely rely on other people and pass to them part of your problems.

My essay about software development
Perhaps, there is no more difficult task for CIO than developing its own system of managing software development. Indeed, software development is often compared with the high-rise housing construction: it is a bothersome and quite an expensive process. Many companies attempted to take up development, failed and rejected this idea choosing a fully-packaged product.
So, is it reasonable for a business to bother itself with software development or a fully packaged product and cloud services are sufficient?
I believe that it is reasonable. Here are my arguments:
1. We live in the era of information. Essentially business today is the process of processing flows of information. We may say, that a competitive struggle is gradually translated into new aspects: the companies compete who will faster and with the better quality process the information flows and delivers them to the clients. Informational systems are the instrument in this process. It is clear that continuous improvement of one's major instruments is a key business task to be the winner in this competitive struggle.
2. Extraordinary speed of information dissemination and accessibility during the last years led to a negative effect for business, namely to rapid “spoiling” of the ideas. All successful projects are immediately borrowed by the competitors, depriving you of a valuable advantage. Under such conditions, to reach a long-term competitive capacity, these are not the ideas that important, but your ability complicated, hard to reproduce technological chains. Information systems are an essential element of these chains. If the business processes are unique, it leads to a need to build unique information systems.
3. Every businessman knows that the profit is made by the person who introduces innovations. As information system in a modern company is a core, around which all key business processes are surrounded, constant innovations into these processes require changes in the informational system.
4. Continuous progress in the means of rapid development significantly reduced the requirements to the staff qualification and increased the speed of the development. It means that the prime cost of a development process is much lower today than it was ten years ago. Consequently, the number of companies which can allow themselves software development significantly expanded.
