DELFI about the new reality and what is important when choosing external partners

More and more companies are moving away from traditional in-house IT departments and choosing external IT partners – not only to reduce costs, but also ensure top-quality technological solutions. Why is this not just a trend, but a necessary strategic step? I explore this question together with IT leaders G.G. Virkutis (PayRay Bank), Ž. Kocius (Topo Centras), L. Jančiūnas (Buhaltere.lt), R. Dirgėla (MV Group) and, of course, my own authority in the field M. Strončikas (Altic).

In the article, you’ll also learn:

• 20–30% lower IT costs – purchasing external services allows for budget optimization and avoids additional expenses.
  
• Higher competence – by collaborating with IT experts, companies gain access to the latest technologies and innovative solutions.
  
• Enhanced cybersecurity – IT partners ensure strict data protection standards and comply with EU regulations.
  

However, how can you ensure that external IT partners will deliver the desired results and not become an obstacle to business growth? What is the key factor for a successful partnership?

In my opinion, the most important factor is equal competence. When different partners do not share a common technological and business understanding, communication problems arise, processes are halted, and costs increase. How do we at PrestaRock address this issue in e-commerce, and what mistakes can be costly?
