New Publication Examines Current IT Priorities and Prescribes Outsourcing as a Critical Strategy for Future Business Success

DALLAS — June 1, 2009—CompuCom Systems, Inc., a leading IT outsourcing company, today announced the availability of a new white paper that outlines how to best address business and technology challenges when building a roadmap for delivering quality IT services. CompuCom partnered with CIO magazine, along with IDG Research Services, to survey senior IT executives’ top challenges and capture their opinions on outsourcing. Seeded with compelling data points, the new document highlights how aligning outsourcing to new business strategies can propel business process improvements during economic downturns. The paper, titled “Outsourcing Drives Business Process Improvements”, is available as a free download at: http://img.en25.com/Web/CompuCom/2009CIOMP.pdf

According to research findings, meeting the current challenges of enterprise cost reduction, improving workforce productivity, the increasing use of information and analytics, and business process improvement will become even more important over the next three to five years. The document demonstrates how organizations are tapping into outsourcing as a strategic way to address the complexities of infrastructure management.

“In this challenging economic climate, CIOs must balance the need to innovate with cost savings, often looking for ways to do more with less,” said Bob Melk, SVP & Group Publisher, CIO magazine. “This research demonstrates that CIOs believe augmenting their IT organizations with outsourcing can create cost savings while helping them to achieve their business goals.”

“Delivering high-quality IT services in today’s lean environment requires a balanced, strategic approach,” said Tom Vetterani, Vice President of Solution Development at CompuCom and contributor to the newly published white paper. “The right IT service provider, such as CompuCom, can meet the needs of IT leaders for IT automation and process improvement initiatives that deliver quality and cost-effective IT services. CompuCom’s ‘right fit’ size allows the company to offer many advantages not provided by large global providers,” added Vetterani.

CompuCom has taken a leadership position in defining specialized solutions for IT and business managers facing budget and operational issues with the downturn in the market. Over the past 18 months, the company has partnered with other industry leaders, including Forrester Research, Aberdeen Research and CIO magazine, to focus on timely topics of productivity, efficiency and quality during difficult economic cycles.
