PurposeThe widespread growth of Information Systems outsourcing on an international scale contrasts sharply with the somewhat limited development of this practice in Spain. That is why the present paper deals with the situation of Information Systems outsourcing in this country. Design/methodology/approachFor this purpose, we have used the opinions and comments of those in charge of Information Systems departments at the largest Spanish firms through a normative Delphi study. FindingsOutsourcing makes it possible to achieve strategic as well as economic advantages and managers propose a number of ways to reduce the risks associated with this practice. Provider specialisation and permanent client-provider contact are key aspects in order to ensure outsourcing success and development. Research Implications/LimitationsThis paper is basically descriptive and, though it uses quantitative information, the analysis carried out is mainly qualitative. Furthermore, it refers exclusively to the context of large Spanish firms. Originality/valueDespite the limitations mentioned above, the paper has the advantage that in the panellists' words we interpret the results obtained, which means that we can largely ratify the results of the first questionnaire elaborated. Moreover, it is worth studying the Spanish outsourcing model, which is less developed and has not received as much attention from researchers as that of other Western countries.

“…Já no início da década de 1990 os primeiros estudos são estabelecidos, atraindo pesquisadores de várias disciplinas, em especial da área de TI (Gantman, 2011). A pesquisa evolutiva da tecnologia da informação e sua terceirização foram acompanhadas para o setor público, através de diversos artigos e modelos sugeridos (Dibbern, Goles, Hirschheim, & Jayatilaka, 2004), onde várias empresas americanas seguindo o exemplo, terceirizaram sua infraestrutura de TI (Foogooa, 2008).…”

Tecnologia da informação. 2. Sistemas de informação. 3. Gestão da informação. I. Tecnologia da Informação: Sistemas e Aplicações 2021 Tecnologia da Informação: Sistemas e Aplicações Apresentação Diego Brito Cangussu O mundo em que vivemos vem se tornando cada vez mais tecnológico e autônomo, com intuito de melhorar os produtos finais e, consequentemente, a qualidade de vida. Com sistemas inteligentes, o controle e monitoramento de processos se tornam mais confiáveis e seguros, facilitando atividades humanas, industriais,escolares, rurais e etc. Com a automação e internet houve um facilitador para a interrelação humana e o desenvolvimento. Nos anos 80, diversas empresas optaram com a implantação da tecnologia em seus processos. A automação veio substituindo trabalhos manuais por máquinas, melhorando a produção em tempo e qualidade. Cada capítulo desse livro apresenta artigos nos quais a tecnologia pode ser implementada para adquirir um melhor desempenho. É possível visualizar sistemas em diversos setores tais como mineração, plantio, escolas, dentre outros.

Although Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) is common in private companies, it is less common in public organizations. In addition, extant literature focuses mainly on private companies and researchers from public organizations use and replicate these results often without adequate validation for the public context. This points to a scenario in which ITO studies may have worse results due to the lack of an appropriate theoretical framework. To analyze this disparity, the existing literature on IT, public organizations and outsourcing is reviewed. A systematic review of the literature allows to extract the content organized by groups. Thus, a framework is proposed to understand the main dimensions of monitoring IT outsourcing for public organizations. The results point to four main criteria (monitoring, relationship, performance and uncertainty) divided into 16 sub-criteria. This study contributes to the literature by refining the IT outsourcing theories for the public sector and providing a platform for advances in future studies.
