When you buy textbooks from publishers, or contract food services to an institutional cafeteria service, you are looking for benefits that outweigh their costs. Turning to specialists when your internal staff is already doing more with less can also be a way to make sure that the right person on staff is doing the job that's best matched to her skills and experience.

We've specialized in accountability reporting since 1999. Our methods, our staff skills and our technology are focused entirely on this work alone. So when it comes report your results to your public, we believe that as specialists, we are likely to bring you more benefits at lower cost than your in-house team. And we'd like you to give us the opportunity to prove it. Please give us a call at (800) 247-8443 and ask for a cost-comparison of your in-house costs to our service fees.

Saving money and time are possible, and we can help you by estimating just how much time everyone spends on your district's annual reports. For a preview of our approach, take a look at this issue of our "SARC Bites" newsletter, on what your accountability reports really cost.

The decision to outsource also should involve an analysis of the return-on-investment (PDF file) you're getting from your current program. What results are your district obtaining, and what is your district investing to gain those results? Take a look at this case study, comparing a conventional cost-reduction approach to an approach that maximizes a district's return-on-investment. You will see that being penny-wise but pound-foolish can be a costly mistake.
