We've discovered that there are several critical challenges that need to be managed to outsource successfully:
Outsourcing often requires complete organizational change for IT
Many times, outsourcing expectations are out-of-line with the organizations readiness

The pervasiveness of technology throughout the business makes outsourcing difficult

IT is required to formalize historically organic processes and relationships, which can lead to an overall loss of flexibility of IT operations

IT organizations are dynamic and have ever-changing requirements making long-term planning of outsourcing services difficult
Definition of IT success should evolve to include fiscal and supply considerations
