You have a major IT project or your IT operations are not growing with your company and you need an extra hand. If you don’t have the resources to hire a new team, you might consider outsourcing some of your daily operations. You can do a quick Google search to find countless partners, but it can be difficult to identify the right market models and actual companies. How do you start?

VerticalFocus
These companies are usually focused on one vertical industry and have the goal to provide as much domain expertise as possible. They may also have niche solutions that are relevant only to their target audience.
ProductFocus
Companies that are product-focused, also known as Value Added Resellers (VARs), are usually sales-oriented and have low overhead. Larger companies that are product-focused may have strong websites that allow for online transactions. This allows for lower overhead and helps to maintain profits.
ServiceFocus
Many technology companies are founded with a service-oriented focus, much like IE in 1996. Often just a few technical people decide they want to start their own business offering computer services and they usually focus on small-to-medium sized businesses (SMB).Thesefirmsalsospecialize in a specific set of technologies.For example, some offer desktop services while others may offer network or security services.Their service model may be project, retainer, time and expense, staff augmentation or managed services (regular billing intervals).Service focused companies can be a good source of technical talent if you can’t hire the expertise you need to be successful, whether from scarcity or budget constraints.
Service and ProductFocus
Solution providers are often known as businesses that provide solutions to customer problems.
