The difference between the two is Information System Outsourcing refers to the hardware and software used by a company; whereas Information Technology Outsourcing refers to the solution that needs to be developed. For example IT writes a new program for the company to use, IS puts the program on the company servers and creates the connections for employees to use the program, and then someone from IT and IS will support and maintain it.

Information System Outsourcing means that a company contracts with another company to use their hardware and software system. The company that the work is being outsourced to owns the system and is required to maintain the system and make sure it is up and running 24/7. Some companies do this because the do not want to or can’t afford to make the investment in technology or people to own and maintain their own system. An example would be a start-up company wanting a full function email and collaboration solution for their staff, but doesn’t have the money to buy the exchange server or hire the team to install and maintain the system so they contract with another company to provide these services.

Information Technology Outsourcing refers to the process of contracting with people or companies with a specific talent to provide technical development or support services. Usually this is done where a company does not have the technical skill in house or only needs a certain expertise for a short period of time. An example would be a trucking business wanting to develop a custom routing system that will take 6 months to develop. So they hire a company that specializes in this type of work to develop the proper solution rather than going through the trouble of hiring their own employees to do the work.

An information system is a "thing" either computer or human that gathers resources together and organizes them into something useable. Consider your computer. You download music and your computer knows, "ok, this is a song, I will put it here with the rest of the songs I know of…."

Information technology is the learning that uses what those songs are, but ways to display them better, by using better sound cards, better video monitors, video adaptors, etc. The Technology behind what you see on your screen is by the people who have made or engineered it that way. To find a better, more cost effective way to do it, or a different way alltogether are up to you.

The system is what we create to do a job, the job is still left to us…..

Information Systems is more generic. Information Technology primarily deals with hardware, network, internal maintenance and support, etc./
