OUTSOURCING ALLOWS CAPACITY EXPANSION WITHIN COST AND TIME CONSTRAINTS. 

SITUATION

When in the throes of rapid growth, IT departments sometimes forget there are alternatives to “more space.” A Fortune 500 Internet retailer needed to quickly expand its infrastructure to meet the demands of rapidly expanding Internet sales. The retailer’s in-house IT team proposed building a new facility—at a cost exceeding $100M and over a period of eighteen months. The proposal failed to meet both time and cost constraints. Now what? 

THE SYNAPTIC SHIFT

Following a comprehensive review of locations, Capto presented alternatives that met the company’s requirements for increased capacity more quickly and at lower cost. Taking all variables into consideration and taking the lead in extensive negotiations, we recommended an outsourcing firm that provided the required infrastructure immediately—at one-third the cost of the original proposal. 

THE RESULT

• Expansion at one-third the proposed cost 
• Immediate expansion and growth support
