How to hand off everything from build to run
With no IT staff and no in-house engineers, here is how to give one team everything — from building the business system to operations and maintenance.
In Japan, 71.2% of SMBs have five or fewer IT staff and 44.1% feel understaffed. Rather than force everything in-house, it is faster to hand the needed areas to an "outside IT team."
You have no IT staff
You want a system, but no one in-house can judge, procure or manage it.
Builder and operator are separate
The company that built it and the one that runs it differ, so problems get passed back and forth.
DX keeps getting deprioritized
A part-time owner is buried in daily work, so business-system improvement is postponed again and again.
Forcing in-house delivery
Trying to do it all internally with no IT staff takes even longer.
A different vendor per stage
Planning, build and run go to different vendors, creating handover cost and accountability gaps.
No one to consult
There is no "outside IT team" to help you decide what to tackle first.
Bundle planning, build and run into one responsibility and handover cost and accountability gaps disappear.
Build the business system
We shape what to build with you and roll out DX in stages.
Take over operations and maintenance
The team that built it owns operations and maintenance too.
Hands-on (outside IT team) support
Regular check-ins and on-demand consultation set priorities together.
Before you hand off
- Does one team carry planning, build and run?
- Will they procure and manage on your behalf even with no IT staff?
- Is there a regular consultation (hands-on) channel?
- Is operations and maintenance cost predictable?
- Is there no vendor lock-in via source/document handover?
Frequently asked questions
Can I build a system with no IT staff?
Yes. An "outside IT team" handles procurement, management and consultation, and one team carries you from planning to operations.
Why hand build and run to one place?
Handover cost and accountability gaps vanish. When incidents hit, the team that built it responds immediately.
