L’impartition des TI : un levier de croissance financière

Context and Financial Pressures

Across Canada, organizations are facing rising technology costs while trying to maintain performance and protect their operations.

According to Statistics Canada, nearly 60% of organizations report increased IT spending related to security and modernization.

Organizations adopting co-managed or fully outsourced IT models see cost reductions of 15% to 30%. These savings come from better resource allocation, optimized maintenance and fewer operational disruptions.

IT outsourcing is emerging as a practical way to control budgets while enhancing productivity, continuity and cyber resilience.

1. Security: Reducing Risk and Stabilizing Costs

Cyber threats are evolving faster than internal teams can adapt. The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security reports that 44% of organizations experienced at least one intrusion attempt in 2024, increasing pressure on internal resources.

Outsourcing provides access to specialized expertise that supports internal teams, reduces incidents and strengthens organizational cyber resilience.

Security Benefits of Outsourcing:

  • Access to high-level expertise that is difficult to recruit.
  • Reinforcement of internal capabilities without adding workload.
  • Better detection and faster response to incidents.
  • Lower incident-related costs due to quicker intervention.

2. Availability: Ensuring Continuity and Stable Operations

Downtime is expensive: Canadian organizations lose thousands of dollars per hour of interruption, according to industry studies. This directly weakens operations and slows growth.

Outsourcing provides continuous support that stabilizes operations and reduces pressure on internal teams.

Availability Benefits:

  • External support to absorb workload peaks and urgent issues.
  • Proactive management of equipment and updates.
  • Fewer interruptions and improved business continuity.
  • A more stable environment for day-to-day operations.

3. Performance: Efficiency Gains and Operational Acceleration

In Canada, 61% of organizations that modernized and optimized their IT environments report productivity gains.

Outsourcing frees internal teams to focus on strategic projects.

It also accelerates execution by clearing technical bottlenecks that hinder digital transformation efforts.

Performance Gains:

  • Reduced repetitive low‑value tasks.
  • Faster delivery of digital initiatives.
  • Streamlined internal processes.
  • Improved overall technological performance.

4. Compliance: Structured Governance and Risk Management

As standards and regulatory requirements evolve, many organizations struggle to maintain consistent governance. Outsourcing provides a clear structure, specialized support and better audit readiness.

Compliance Advantages:

  • Alignment with recognized standards, such as ISO/IEC 27001.
  • Strengthened risk management practices.
  • More consistent documentation and processes.
  • Fewer issues identified during audits.
