Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore the reasons that lead to information systems outsourcing in the largest Spanish firms. Our paper takes as its starting point the previous literature on information systems and tries to analyse if those reasons are related to the outsourcing level as well as to the different characteristics of the firm and its information systems department. With this aim, a survey was made among information systems managers in those firms. The results show that outsourcing gives the firms the possibility of enhancing their information systems services and departments.
