Outsourcing ist eine gängige Aktivität in der heutigen Geschäftswelt, und das Outsourcing einer Website ist eine von denen, über die neue Geschäftsinhaber normalerweise nachdenken, wenn sie ihre Outline-Präsenz erstellen.
Beyond the initial website creation effort, a whole sleuth of activities (i.e. link up to search engines, website optimization) needs to be carried out. Thereafter, the site will go into maintenance mode (i.e software updates, new developments) to keep it running. This is something the website owner needs to fully understand and factor in.
In diesem Beitrag werden wir die Vor- und Nachteile des Outsourcings der Entwicklung und Wartung einer Website für einen Kleinunternehmer untersuchen. Im Folgenden finden Sie einige wesentliche Faktoren, die berücksichtigt werden müssen, wenn Sie mit der Erstellung Ihrer eigenen Website beginnen. In diesem Vergleich nehmen wir es DIY als den Geschäftsinhaber, der die Website selbst verwaltet.
Complexity of your site. If the website is a simple informational website, this is something the business owner can consider to undertake his/her own self. However, on the website, there probably would be a sign up form to collect visitor’s email addresses, this is a security issue. A website with a sign up form is susceptible to SQL injection attacks. The attack would allow the attacker to gain direct access to the backend website contacts database. This could result in a personal data leak and attract the attention of the authorities. .
Time to market. All content management solution has a learning curve. As the website increases in functionality, so will be the learning curve. So depending on how much time the business owners has to focus on the website, otherwise it is prudent to simply outsource the development and maintenance of the website to a third-party vendor.
Frequency of change. Content changes from time to time. It is a minor text change, the small business owners can undertake the changes themselves. However if changes are in the form of enhancing the website, then considering a third party outsourcing provider would be the recommended way to go as it will consume a lot of the business owner’s time to research, implement, test and monitor these changes.
Frequency of updates. Business owners need to understand that all software needs to be update from time to time. Each updates need to be reviewed and updated. Once updated the website needs to be checked to see if anything is impacted by the updates. This takes time, depending on how many additional functionality was added onto the base website.
Data confidentiality. Data confidentially is very important especially when private data is concerned. Once a breach happens, data owners are obligated to inform the relevant authorities. Ideally the data owners (i.e business owner) should be the first to know of such a breach and not be the last to know, so you can better manage the breach.
In dieser Hinsicht müssen Geschäftsinhaber vollständig verstehen, wie sie ihre Datenbanken schützen können. Wenn nicht, wäre es am besten, die Entwicklung und Wartung der Website an Drittanbieter auszulagern, die in einer besseren Position sind, um die Daten zu schützen.
Beachten Sie, dass auch wenn Ihre Website von einem externen Hosting-Anbieter gehostet wird, der Geschäftsinhaber letztendlich immer noch für den Schutz der von seinen Benutzern bereitgestellten personenbezogenen Daten verantwortlich ist.
Cost. Cost is always at the top of the mind of a small business owner. He/she is always looking at ways to minimize the cost of operations. Doing it internally could be cheaper financially, however, it takes time off on other operational issue. This is something the business owner as to weigh carefully.
Wie Sie oben sehen können, ist die Entscheidung für den Kleinunternehmer nicht einfach. Die endgültige Entscheidung, ob es sich um ein internes oder externes Outsourcing handelt, hängt auch von den verfügbaren Ressourcen und der Umgebung ab, in der er/sie arbeitet – ist eine schnelle Markteinführung wichtig?
