Desktop outsourcing

Desktop outsourcing is the process where a firm, U.S. Government Agency, or non-profit contracts a third party to maintain and manage one or more of its computing equipment components and software maintenance. Justification for desktop outsourcing could include shifting focus and energy to areas of core competency, reducing staffing costs, and the routine maintenance, upgrades, and repairs associated with managing multitudes of PC systems and servers: or a combination of both (Applegate et al. 2007).
