Large and small British businesses are increasingly outsourcing their IT.

Big Four firm KPMG signed a five-year contract with BT last month but smaller firms are also seeing the benefits of IT outsourcing, according to Accounting Web.

The news provider reports that London accountancy firm Andrews Cross & Co has committed to outsourcing 100 hours of work per month, helping to solve its recruitment difficulties.

West Midlands-based accounting firm AGS has turned to outsourcing to bring its IT to the level required to support the company's professional work, according to the website.

AGS founding partner Steve Aston says: "We had to get the IT spot on. [Outsourcing ] was about that extra 10-20 per cent that dynamic, innovative IT delivery could give us."

Better value and improvements in broadband internet services are meaning an increase in the popularity of IT outsourcing as more large and small businesses realise it can bring a competitive edge, reports Accounting Web.
