WHEN YOU DON'T NEED
TO OWN THE KNOWLEDGE

Do you need to own the knowledge about how to tune a database, enhance system performance or modify a commercial software package? The same reason why most businesses use outside accountants and lawyers for special needs is the same reason to use a consultant in Information Technology. It costs more to own, maintain and enhance the knowledge in-house than it does to simply �lease� the knowledge when you need it. 

Why do you need to own the knowledge, especially at such a premium price? Problems with internal salary parity will be created.

Using a consultant allows you to lease the knowledge for as short a period of time as you need it. Use a consultant to work along side your internal team sharing their knowledge across as many staff members as possible in as short a period of time possible.
