資訊委外乃指將組織中資訊相關活動部份或全部的資訊業務委由資訊委外供應商執行，降低相關管理及營運支出，透過規模經濟來精簡成本，使企業可將資源集中於企業核心競爭力上。企業面臨來自全球的競爭，為維持其競爭優勢、加速引進新技術，委外遂成為提昇企業競爭力的策略之ㄧ。如何透過資訊委外，達到需求者與服務提供者雙贏，實為一重要之議題。
因此本研究將透過國內外文獻探討、資料收集，整理現階段高科技產業資訊委外市場發展情況，探討規劃分析、供應商遴選、委外關係管理等三個構面，對委外需求現況及其未來投資決策之影響。研究對象主要以高科技產業為主，包括半導體產業、面板產業、太陽能產業等等。以問卷方式來剖析高科技產業資訊委外現況，及選擇資訊委外之考量因素與投資策略。並分析未來面對景氣變化時，高科技產業之考量因素及投資決策。
本研究藉由探討規劃分析、供應商遴選、委外關係管理等三大構面，了解高科技產業在資訊委外時所考量因素的重視程度，以及與資訊委外投資預算影響關係。同時發現該產業在未來資訊委外的考量因素中，資訊委外服務的定價策略、資訊委外投資策略等明顯會受景氣影響。透過比較需求者之現況與未來投資決策之研究結果，可作為資訊委外服務提供者，未來在資訊委外服務投資時，提早因應與準備，提供更好的資訊委外服務品質。

Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) is a company's partial or complete outsourcing of computer or Internet related work to outsourcing suppliers. The purpose of ITO is to cut down on management related cost as well as running cost in order to obtain economics of scales, enabling enterprises to allocate their resources to develop their core competencies. The way to obtain a win- win situation for outsourcing service demanders and outsourcing service suppliers through ITO has become an extremely important issue.
Therefore, this research would be an explanatory study discussing how the three dimensions, planning analysis, supplier selection and outsourcing relationship management influence the current demand for outsourcing and future investment decisions based on reference from existing studies. Questionnaires would be developed to explore the current situation of high-tech ITO and the reasons enterprises choose to have their IT outsourced. The industries included in the survey are semiconductor industry, panel industry, solar industry, etc. Besides, the way service demanders react and make decisions while facing economic fluctuations would be discussed as well. Hopefully, this study would be beneficial and contributive for outsourcing service providers.
This research explores the relationship between the factors taken into consideration when deciding to outsource and the budget available for outsourcing through studying the three dimensions, planning analysis, supplier selection and outsourcing relationship management. Results show that some factors to consider when implementing outsourcing like the pricing strategies, investment strategies are positively affected by the economic situations. Through comparing the current situation of demanders and the results of researches for future investment decision, future IT outsourcing service providers would be equipped to provide better quality ITO service.
