IT Outsourcing Provider
Increasing complexity and at the same time increasing importance: IT is a challenge for many companies.
As the person responsible for IT in an SME or a large company, you are confronted with the increasing complexity of your IT infrastructure. At the same time, you are aware of the key role IT plays in the success and growth of your company.
For the smooth operation and targeted further development of your software infrastructure and your strategies, it pays to have a proven external IT expert or IT service provider on board.
Depending on your company’s needs, partial outsourcing of certain business processes (business process outsourcing) or full outsourcing of IT to an outsourcing company may be an option.
What is IT outsourcing to an IT service provider?
IT outsourcing describes the transfer or outsourcing of IT functions or IT services that were previously provided in-house to an external IT service provider such as soxes.
Which services are provided by your IT outsourcing provider within an IT outsourcing is worked out and defined in a Service Level Agreement (SLA) together with your employees.
Which IT services are governed by a service level agreement and what role does this play in IT outsourcing?
A Service Level Agreement (SLA) specifies the concrete services that are provided within an IT outsourcing. The following criteria are usually regulated in an SLA:
- Monitoring interval: How often should the system be checked?
- Maintenance interval: How often should maintenance windows be scheduled for the system?
- Uptime: What percentage of the whole should the IT service be available at least?
- Response time (time to respond): How quickly should a response be given in the event of an error?
- Error correction time: How quickly should an error be corrected on average? And what is the maximum time it should take?
Before you hand over the operation of your IT to outsourcing companies, you should be clear about what your requirements are in terms of flexibility and security. After all, when it comes to operating your IT infrastructure, security and quality should have top priority

In addition, you can expect IT service providers like soxes to review and develop your IT strategy over and above the operational services.
Partial outsourcing of individual IT tasks (outtasking)
Outtasking is a special form of IT outsourcing. As the name suggests, not entire structures or processes are transferred to the responsibility of an external service provider, but only individual tasks such as software development, data analyses or first level support. Outtasking is used by our clients in particular to optimise costs. By outsourcing tasks that are not part of the company’s core business and by processing these tasks more efficiently, a company gains valuable time at lower costs.
Outsourcing in the area of cloud computing
The team at soxes not only advises on the selection of the appropriate operating system, but also designs, develops and or implements cloud-based applications. The outsourcing of cloud services is often associated with the terms Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) or Platforms-as-a-Service (Paas). One of many examples of a cloud-based application developed by soxes is the digitalised measurement and information system for windows, doors and gates MyPortaNet. Applications for storing and managing data using cloud technology are not only complex in conception, but also in maintenance.
