title = "Outsource or not: A preliminary study of Omani organizations",
abstract = "The aim of this paper is to determine the main reasons for or against outsourcing IS/IT within the Omani organizations context. With this aim in mind, a questionnaire survey was used to collect data from public and private organizations. The results of the analysis of the data show that the main drive behind IS/IT outsourcing is the need to obtain the required skills which are not available otherwise. The study also shows that security issues and concerns are among the top reasons preventing some Omani organizations from outsourcing.",
