In today’s fast-paced digital environment, not all technology is created equal. For Sacramento and Bay Area businesses navigating IT decisions, the key to smarter outsourcing lies in distinguishing between differentiating and non-differentiating technology.
Differentiating technology is unique to your business. It’s what helps you gain a competitive edge or deliver your core services more efficiently. It also includes the little things that make you and your employees unique! This can mean custom workflows or client-facing systems, but it also speaks to how you set up your printers/scanners/copiers. In other words, it’s what makes your business… well, your business.
These are areas where maintaining internal control can create strategic value.
On the other hand, non-differentiating components, like network management, cybersecurity protocols, backups, or server support, are essential but standardized. These are ideal candidates for outsourcing to trusted partners like Foresight IT, whose entire mission is to help organizations run better, more securely, and without the drag of routine technical firefighting.

We bring enterprise-grade tools, real-world cybersecurity practices, and decades of leadership experience to your doorstep. With Foresight IT, you’ll have the same level of support that any large company provides internally.
