Outsourcing and the Small Business
2010年4月19日By:Ken O'Brien
Many basic IT services are very general and not business specific. Services such as anti-virus protection, data backup and IT support can benefit from the economy of scale an outsourcing organisation offers. For a small business taking care of these areas effectively may prove difficult. While there is a cost associated with outsourcing there is a far higher cost to not maintaining and looking after IT services.
The main benefit outsourcing can offer is expert support without the associated inhouse costs. It can take care of systems security, data backup or even provide complex system support. For small business the key attraction here is that expert support. Even in organisations with their own IT support there may be some benefit through the outsourcing of selected IT services.
A further advantage of outsourcing is that a business can choose which individual services to allocate to an outside provider. Different services can be provided by different suppliers, although this may involve extra management.
A potential downside of outsourcing can be the loss of control over IT systems and possible loss of expertise to the business. This is true if there are key systems that the business depends on. This may not be what the business wants, especially if it has invested heavily in technology.
One way to overcome this possible loss of control is for an organisation to agree levels of service with their outsourcing partner.
These should include
? Guarantee of service
? Specified service hours
? Level of support provided
? Security policies for customer systems
? Data Protection policies
IT outsourcing is not a panacea and for some SMEs it may not provide any immediate solutions, but given the growing complexity of IT systems, it is something that should be considered.Just because a business is small it doesn't mean it's not entitled to quality support. About the author:

not out! Offshore Yachting celebrates th
2009年11月2日April 13, 2008, was no ordinary day. It marked the 100th birthday of one the world's most successful and influential yacht designers--American Olin J. Stephens, II. His New York-based naval architecture firm Sparkman & Stephens (S&S) has designed winners of all the great ocean races, and his 12-metre class yachts successfully defended the America's Cup no less than eight times.
S&S designs have also been Overall Winner of the Rolex Sydney Hobart eight times. They include the famous Love & War, which first won in 1974, won again in 1978 and, remarkably, for a third time in 2006. The most famous S&S Line Honours winner of the Hobart Race, of course, is Kialoa III, which set an elapsed time record in 1975 that was to stand for 21 years.
The sailing creations of Olin Stephens are distinctive and most pleasing to the eye of the beholder. With few--if any--exceptions, they are beautiful boats with fine lines--and they sail fast! I have had the good fortune to race on two of these boats, Challenge II and Kialoa III, both magnificent ocean-racing boats, as well as on the remarkable S&S 34 production yachts first made famous as British Prime Minister Edward Heath's Morning Cloud. All three were Hobart winners.
When he retired from the design business in the 1980s, Stephens had designed more than 2,000 boats, many of which still grace the waters today--and still win races! His skill as a naval architect went far beyond designing racing yachts--during World War II he designed amphibious assault vehicles and 110-foot fast patrol craft.
The remarkable maritime museum and reconstructed 19th-century town of Mystic Seaport in Connecticut, of which he is a trustee, honoured Olin Stephens' 100th birthday with a 100-day celebration commemorating his life and legacy. In 20WAVY WIGS06, he had been the first recipient of the museum's prestigious America and the Sea Award--an honour that recognises individuals who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in the marine world, in the spirit of exploration, adventure, competition and freedom.
Olin J. Stephens was born on April 13, 1908 in the Bronx. His father was a coal merchant who moved the family to Scarsdale, New York in 1913. It was while spending summers on the New England coast that Olin and his brother Rod first learned to sail.
Olin began his yacht design career at the age of 19, working for naval architects Henry J. Gielow and then Philip Rhodes. In 1928, a partnership was arranged with Drake Sparkman, a yacht broker, and on November 11, 1929, Sparkman & Stephens, Inc. was formally created. It is still active today as a yacht design and brokerage house.
Olin's first success was with the design of the ocean racing yacht Dorade, launched in 1930. A yawl, she won both the much-publicised Transatlantic Race and the Fasmet Race in 1931 outright, and gained a class win in the Bermuda Race. In 1936, she added the Transpac to her record. A new era of yacht design had begun.
In the post-World War II years, yacht owners around the world looked towards Sparkman & Stephens for their ocean racing designs. The New Zealand-owned Rainbow II was the first to win a Sydney Hobart Race, in 1967, followed by Morning Cloud (1969), Pathfinder (1971), Love & War (1974, '78 and 2006), and Kialoa III (in 1977, following her record-setting line honours win in '75) and Challenge (1983).
Sydney yachtsman Peter Kurts owned Love & War and, although he had other racing yachts built, he still kept Love & War as his favourite, even cruising her single-handed to Lord Howe Island. His family still own the boat, but sadly Peter died before the S&S 49 won her third Hobart Race in 2006.
Kialoa III, a 79-foot maxi ketch, was the most advanced maxi yacht of her time. In addition to the Sydney Hobart, her US owner Jim Kilroy also sailed her to victory in the Transatlantic, Bermuda, Transpac and China Sea races and dominated the Maxi World Championships during the early 1980s.
Edward Heath's Morning Cloud went on to be the concept for the highly successful production line of S&S 34s. West Australian Jon Sanders, sailing the S&S 34 Perle Banou, was the first man to circumnavigate Antarctica, circling the world twice single-handed and non-stop in 1981-82.
Challenge II was an inBreguet Replica Watchesnovative 45-footer, and was the yacht on which Olin Stephens created the modern fractional rig for ocean racing yachts. Owner Lou Abrahams not only won the Sydney Hobart but was also in an Australian winning team at the Clipper Cup in Hawaii.
Another highly successful S&S design for an Australian owner was Stormy Petrel, designed to the International One Ton rule and winner of the 1971 One Ton Cup in New Zealand. Mark Twain, an S&S 39 in 2002 became the first boat to compete in 25 Sydney Hobarts. She never won a Hobart Race overall, but had three seconds and two thirds in class.
