Industry trends show that the number of organizations that outsource all IT functions is decreasing, while the market for application hosting is growing. For organizations that are lacking IT resources, such as those that have recently split from a parent system, outsourcing can be used to build an IT department or to roll-out implementations. Many CIOs find that once the IT department is able to get a better handle on its capabilities, it can scale back on outsourcing. An outsourcing agreement has to be the right fit for both parties. If costs are climbing and needs aren't being met, a CIO's best option is often to bring IT back in-house.
行业趋势表明，将所有IT功能外包的组织数量正在减少，而应用程序托管市场却在不断增长。对于缺乏IT资源的组织，比如那些最近从母系统分离出来的组织，外包可用于组建IT部门或推出实施方案。许多首席信息官发现，一旦IT部门能够更好地掌控自身能力，就可以缩减外包规模。外包协议必须适合双方。如果成本不断攀升且需求无法得到满足，首席信息官的最佳选择通常是将IT业务收回内部处理。
