When a business decides to outsource its IT services, it needs to consider the question of integration. Four experts give their views.

luca Tramcere, Silica Systems

An outsourced IT service is never a fully independent entity. It is tied to the home company's previous and continuing systems of working. But despite the added responsibility of managing new ways of working, many businesses ignore the integration process. They fail to establish contracts that define the ways in which the two companies will work alongside one another, and focus solely on the technological aspects of service delivery.

n Rayner, Domola

Businesses need to build integration competency centres dedicated to managing the integration effort. It is critical to have an individual in charge to check that the external and internal business operations work together. Although companies often think of outsourcing as a way of getting rid of people and assets, they need to remember that, at the same time, outsourcing involves gaining people. Because there is a new operation being carried out in a different way outside of the home business, this creates a training element.

ton Locke, Digital Solutions

Communication is the key to success, and outsourcing to other regions or countries can lead to a range of problems. For any such initiative, it is necessary to create a team where there is good, open communication and a clear understanding of objectives and incentives. Bringing people to the home location from the outsourced centre is necessary, since it can aid understanding of the complexities of the existing system. To integrate efficiently, outsourcing personnel have to talk to the home company's executives and users to understand their experiences.

Noon, J G Tech

One way to avoid the difficulties of integration is to create a joint-venture company with the outsourcer. Thus, a company can swap its assets for a share of the profits. Yet joint ventures bring potential troubles, and companies should be careful not to lose sight of the original rationale for outsourcing: to gain cost efficiencies and quality of service in an area that for some reason could not be carried out entirely in-house. The complexities and costs of a joint-venture initiative should not be underestimated.

　　2020年BEC高级阅读习题解析

这篇文章讲的是外购(outsourcing),分别有四位专家就这个问题给出了自己的看法。A段的专家强调建立合同的重要性，B段专家认为要派专人负责，C段专家讲外派人员和本公司之间要有一个互动，D段专家讲如果与外包商(outsourcer)组成联合企业的话可能带来的一系列问题。如果对文章有个大概、基本的了解，很多题目不用细看就可以得出结论。

第一题的答案稍微有些隐晦，在B段的最后一句。“Because there is a new operation being carried out in a different way outside of the home business, this creates a training element.”因为新的操作是在本公司以外的地方以一种新的方式被执行，所以产生了培训成分。这里的training对应第一题的“teach skills to employees”。

第二题的答案在D段中间: companies should be careful not to lose sight of the original rationale for outsourcing.这里的rationale是基本原理、根本原因的意思。

第三题的答案在A段，非常明显的“establish contracts”。

第四段的答案是C段的最后一句话，outsourcing personnel have to talk to the home company's executives and users to understand their experiences.这里的talk to对应address，向....谈话。第四题的意思是“说明在远址工作的外购人员的事情”，也就是C段最后一句说的外购人员向公司汇报他们的经历。

第五段的答案在B段，相当明显：It is critical to have an individual in charge to check that the external and internal business operations work together。需要派专人负责integration。

第六题说“外派人员要熟悉自身工作的不同细节”，对应C段的“create a team where there is a clear understanding of objectives and incentives.”打造一个对目标和动机都有清晰理解的团队。

第七题稍微绕一点。题目里的“an alternative to outsourcing”指的是D段里的“create a joint-venture company with the outsourcer”，建立一个联合企业。D段里的专家一直在强调联合企业的麻烦和复杂性(joint ventures bring potential troubles)，所以是正确答案。

　零基础如何备战BEC

如果时光回到小学，我一定把26个字母倒背如流。我一定好好学习英语。我发誓，以我现在仅有的250块零花钱和电脑里F盘的4G片子发誓。

那时候的我还很萌很天真，虽然上着我最最不喜欢的英语课，但我还要装作听得很认真。谁让英语老师是我的班主任，成绩决定地位，这一潜规则早在小学就已经存在。想当然的，我就是英语老师的“小宝贝儿”，称霸第一排位置达5年之久。一日，她在课堂提问，无数积极的小手已经纷纷举起，这场景真像丰收的白萝卜，漫山遍野，差点打到我头。当然，这举手的大军中不包括我这一员。然后，英语老师像农妇一般满意地环视了自己的萝卜地，目光停留在我这个还未破土而出的萝卜苗上。问题来了，请我说一下土豆用英语怎么说，我一下子呆了，脑中千思万绪，脱口而出“TODAY”。结果可想而知，哄笑一场后，土豆就成了我整个小学生涯的外号。我“TODAY”的故事也成了英语老师教育不好好学习英语童鞋的最有利教材。(我长得一点也不土豆，玉树临风形容我还差点火候儿!)

我的小学终于毕业了，那还得托9年义务教育的福。我妈说我，就你这样的，学习都是浪费纸张。初中和高中我的英语成绩一直是“杀手级”的，全班乃至全年级的平均分都是被我这个“重量级”选手拉低的。考大学那会儿，我小心脏扑扑的，小分数悠悠的，滑着及格分数线，顺理成章地考上了一所二流底端的大学。我相信是金子总会发光的，但就怕是亚光的。

上了大学后，我继续保持着我英语的常败记录，还好补考都顺利通过。不过这英文不好，实在是跟不上时代潮流。你说去KTV想唱首英文歌吧，因为发音不准而被人嘲笑，出去玩吧，有时同学会三合一语言，开个小差就听不懂他们在说什么了，不利于交流!但最最大的问题的，我快毕业，已经没有时间来混日子了，看着其他同学什么中级口译、大学英语6级还有BEC都拿到手软，再看看自己的证书。最近的一次还是在我高中的时候，“校优秀运动员“，这怎么和其他人竞争呢?如何拯救我那濒临消失的英语技能成为我最头疼的事情。我开始像无头苍蝇一般四处寻找。各大英语考试像超市一般，琳琅满目。选择企业认可的才是最重要的，别我费劲吧唧地考了，到找工作时，它成一张白纸了。既然要考，就要考一个靠谱的。通过我的一翻咨询、一轮比较，什么沪江、校贴吧、考试吧啊都逛烂了，终于发现一个不错的。剑桥BEC商务英语考试。我咨询了我的英语老师，她听说我要考BEC，惊奇地嘴巴都合不拢，不过她很快恢复了正常，告诉我说BEC考试在现在高校比较推崇，如果顺利考出，就说明是真正具有实力的。我听完后顿时觉得充满挑战，热血沸腾啊!仿佛看到了自己拿到证书的样子~~~(幻想ING)对于BEC的含金量更是毫不怀疑，我相信只要考出来我一定会拥有让人羡慕的口语和钱多多的工作的，BUSINESS MAN就是我!

严肃点!BEC考试上半年截止日期是3月份，而下半年是9月份，这两个时间一定要记记牢。全国有许多考点，在网上看了那么多，还不如实际去考点咨询下。

经过一番面对面的咨询，我填写了表格，并交纳了从爸爸妈妈那里讨来的“梦想基金”，得到了一堆复习材料。面对它们，我如何下手，我仿佛一个迷茫的厨子，面对着案板上的鱼无从下手。对了，不会做饭的可以参考菜谱，那我这种零基础英文小白，完全可以从历年考题入手啊。马上度娘，输入“剑桥英语”第一个就是，找到“考试商品”点击右侧的“BEC”,就可以了解这个考试的介绍、考试时间、考试形式以及考试题目范围。最最重要的是”备考“，里面全是资料，这就是我的葵花宝典啊，是我迈向成功的踏板!我要把它下载下来，好好研究，深入研究，摸透题型，知己知彼，才能立于不败之地!如果我考出来了，这会对以后找工作，步步升职，都是很有帮助的。为了我那美好钱途，我还在没日没夜啃书，革命尚未结束，同志仍需努力，以此勉励自己吧!
