"My organization doesn’t feel comfortable outsourcing supply chain operations."
Many IT departments advocate for keeping integration and supply chain operations in-house because they don’t like the idea of surrendering control of critical data and processes to an outside party. Another concern for IT executives is that third-party solutions won’t deliver on their value proposition—or that they may introduce unexpected costs or disruptions. And for many, the issue with outsourcing is as simple as, Why pay someone else to do it when we can just as easily do it ourselves?

"My budget is tight—I can only consider investments with a rapid ROI."
For many IT departments today, the speed with which an investment pays for itself is a key consideration for any new technologies or services. With limited capital resources, most companies expect to see a 100 percent return on their investment within a one-year timeframe in order for them to be considered worthwhile. As a result, many companies elect to keep the majority of their IT operations in-house—even when that entails unpredictable costs, strains on human resources, and large amounts of risk.
