Struggling Economy and Outsourcing

Recently read this article on Webcpa.com about other firms providing IT outsourcing (managed) services. The consensus is that all the downsizing in the economy has been good for managed service providers as companies are looking for ways to reduce IT costs through staff reduction -- but still need IT support.

Being part of a CPA firm, I found the section on supporting CPA firms very interesting. Sounds like they are good outsourcing targets because of the prolific applications and complexity. The reality is that there are only a handful of providers that can actually manage 60 client applications -- Vitale Caturano being one of them.

Also sounds like Vitale Caturano is among the few firms providing strategic advisory services in addition to the typical line up of managed service offerings.
