WSJ Small Business Link: IT Outsourcing

The Wall Street Journal has launched Small Business Link, a special section serving small business leaders combining the best features from their online and print offerings.

Each month, the Small Business Link will focus on one particular issue facing small business owners. From there, readers can participate in a conversation with others - including the people featured in the articles.

The first topic, focusing on Employee Benefits, was quietly launched on April 9. This month, the talk centers around the Technology Outsourcing and includes these helpful articles:

• Which IT projects should be outsourced
• The importance of IT security
• Do's and Don'ts of Outsourcing

Also available are videos and podcasts on these important issues. There are plenty of high-quality, high-touch IT companies in Iowa that not only offer expertise in their field, but understand how small business work - because many of them are small businesses.

Next month's Small Business Link will focus on Recruiting, a timely topic with the Iowa-ABI Workforce '07 Convention just around the calendar.
