Information system outsourcing induces firms to concentrate on the core competence and to improve business value by utilizing specialized information systems outsourcing vendors. However, for those strategic effects, the outsourced information systems should guarantee a certain service level. Now companies are considering to adopt SLA(Service Level Agreement) as a method to check the service level of the outsourced information systems in quantitative terms. On the contrary, customer satisfaction survey supports qualitative analysis, and helps companies to understand the qualitative effects on information system more systematically. Recently, the growing use of the internet makes customer satisfaction survey to be carried out on the web. For that reason, lots of researches related to web survey have been performed. But these researches are just focused on finding out only items to be measured and the effect of web survey. In this paper, based on the service quality research model for information system outsourcing, we formalize and propose a web survey process, a system architecture, and a functional structure for information system outsourcing customer satisfaction survey. Additionally, we provide the implementation results for the web survey systems.

Database outsourcing is unavoidable in the near future. In the scenario of data stream outsourcing, the data owner continuously publishes the latest data and associated authentication information through a service provider. Clients may register queries to the service provider and verify the result's correctness, utilizing the additional authentication information. Research on On-line Stream Analytics (OLSA) is motivated by extending the data cube technology for higher multi-level abstraction on the low-level-abstracted data streams. Existing work on OLSA fails to consider the issue of database outsourcing, while previous work on stream authentication does not support OLSA. To close this gap and solve the problem of OLSA query authentication while outsourcing data streams, we propose MDAHRB and MDAHB, two multi-dimensional authentication approaches. They are based on the general data model for OLSA, the stream cube. First, we improve the data structure of the H-tree, which is used to store the stream cube. Then, we design and implement two authentication schemes based on the improved H-trees, the HRB- and HB-trees, in accordance with the main stream query authentication framework for database outsourcing. Along with a cost models analysis, consistent with state-of-the-art cost metrics, an experimental evaluation is performed on a real data set. It exhibits that both MDAHRB and MDAHB are feasible for authenticating OLSA queries, while MDAHRB is more scalable.

We are living it what is referred to as the Digital Era; a time in which communication through the computer medium has deeply infiltrated our everyday lives and is now equivalent to face-to-face communication. In other words, e-communication is the core factor of knowledge sharing, for not only individuals but also for corporations, and its efficiency has increased gradually. At this time, studies on the factors affecting the outsourcing performance of e-communication channel services are gaining importance. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically analyze the effects of the system, information, and service quality on the user satisfaction and user trust of e-communication channel outsourcing, as well as the effects of user satisfaction and user trust on the outsourcing performance of both individuals and organizations. In the results of the empirical study, the system, Information, and service quality appear to have a significant effect on both user satisfaction and user trust. In addition, user satisfaction and user trust appear to also have a significant effect on the outsourcing performance of both Individuals and organizations.

As the utilization of information technology and the turbulence of technological change increase in organizations, the adoption of IT outsourcing also grows to manage IT resource more effectively and efficiently. In this new way of IT management technique, service level management(SLM) process becomes critical to derive success from the outsourcing in the view of end users in organization. Even though much of the research on service level management or agreement have been done during last decades, the performance of the service level management process have not been evaluated in terms of final objectives of the management efforts or success from the view of end-users. This study explores the relationship between SLM maturity and IT outsourcing success from the users' point of view by a analytical case study in four client organizations under an IT outsourcing vendor, which is a member company of a major Korean conglomerate. For setting up a model for the analysis, previous researches on service level management process maturity and information systems success are reviewed. In particular, information systems success from users' point of view are reviewed based the DeLone and McLean's study, which is argued and accepted as a comprehensively tested model of information systems success currently. The model proposed in this study argues that SLM process maturity influences information systems success, which is evaluated in terms of information quality, systems quality, service quality, and net effect proposed by DeLone and McLean. SLM process maturity can be measured in planning process, implementation process and operation and evaluation process. Instruments for measuring the factors in the proposed constructs of information systems success and SL management process maturity were collected from previous researches and evaluated for securing reliability and validity, utilizing appropriate statistical methods and pilot tests before exploring the case study. Four cases from four different companies under one vendor company were utilized for the analysis. All of the cases had been contracted in SLA(Service Level Agreement) and had implemented ITIL(IT Infrastructure Library), Six Sigma and BSC(Balanced Scored Card) methods since last several years, which means that all the client organizations pursued concerted efforts to acquire quality services from IT outsourcing from the organization and users' point of view. For comparing the differences among the four organizations in IT out-sourcing sucess, T-test and non-parametric analysis have been applied on the data set collected from the organization using survey instruments. The process maturities of planning and implementation phases of SLM are found not to influence on any dimensions of information systems success from users' point of view. It was found that the SLM maturity in the phase of operations and evaluation could influence systems quality only from users' view. This result seems to be quite against the arguments in IT outsourcing practices in the fields, which emphasize usually the importance of planning and implementation processes upfront in IT outsourcing projects. According to after-the-fact observation by an expert in an organization participating in the study, their needs and motivations for outsourcing contracts had been quite familiar already to the vendors as long-term partners under a same conglomerate, so that the maturity in the phases of planning and implementation seems not to be differentiating factors for the success of IT outsourcing. This study will be the foundation for the future research in the area of IT outsourcing management and success, in particular in the service level management. And also, it could guide managers in practice in IT outsourcing management to focus on service level management process in operation and evaluation stage especially for long-term outsourcing contracts under very unique context like Korean IT outsourcing projects. This study has some limitations in generalization because the sample size is small and the context itself is confined in an unique environment. For future exploration, survey based research could be designed and implemented.

우리 군은 작지만 강한 군대 건설과 저비용 고효율의 전투기능 집중, 민간자원 최대 활용, 정보 기술력에 의한 전력구조로 효율적 운영을 체계화 하여 북한 및 주변국의 군사관계변화에 즉각 대응할 수 있는 체계가 되어야 한다. 이에 본 연구는 국방부문의 아웃소싱 성공도에 영향을 미치는 요인을 분석한 후 이를 극복할 수 있는 방안을 제시하였다. 국방부문 아웃소싱은 일반 정부부처와는 달리 군 고유의 업무특성이나 국방 개혁 추진계획 등과 맞물려 있어, 이러한 특성을 면밀하게 분석 반영하지 않으면 현실적인 대안이 될 수 없는 어려움이 있다. 국방부문의 아웃소싱 목적은 일반기업과 같이 효율성 제고이지만 병력 및 국방예산 감축수단은 아니다. 국방부문의 아웃소싱이 성공하기 위해서는 기업과 달리, 보안 및 신분보장, 리스크 감소, 비용절감, 품질향상, 아웃소싱 업체의 신뢰도, 전문기술력이 주요한 요소이다. 결국 국방부문의 아웃소싱은 공공부문의 정부부처에서 시행하는 아웃소싱과는 별도로 안보의식과 신분보장, 품질향상을 고려하여 독일의 국방개발획득 관리회사(GEBB) 또는 민간군사기업(PMC) 형태의 민간자본 활용방법을 벤치마킹하여 강한 군대 건설로 북한 및 주변국의 군사관계변화에 즉각 대응하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서 의도하고자 했던 국방부문의 아웃소싱 성공도에 영향을 미치는 요인이 무엇인가를 검증하여 차후 국방부문 아웃소싱 계획을 수립 및 추진하는데 기여하게 될 것이다.
