Abstract

This chapter introduces an alternative concept against the dominating trend of a complete outsourcing of IT services, especially in small and medium- sized enterprises (SME). It argues that the undiscriminating adoption of this trend tends to reduce IT on a cost factor and neglects the importance of specific IT knowledge for the continuous improvement of business processes. Also, it neglects the importance of a "communication interface" between the IS users on the one hand and the software development and IT production on the other hand .

In opposition to leading management trends, this chapter will present an approach that bases on an internal competence centre for IS and that demands a steady communication between the IT staff and the various departments. In this approach, only selected IT services are externalized and the continuing growth of specific IS knowledge is essential .

This approach was developed since the end of the 1990s at the building society, with about 100 employees , in which the author is working .
