Question #: 84
Topic #: 7
[All CISA Questions]

Which of the following is the GREATEST advantage of outsourcing the development of an e-banking solution when in-house technical expertise is not available?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Outsourcing the development of an e-banking solution when in-house technical expertise is not available can significantly reduce start-up costs.This is because the organization can avoid the expenses associated with hiring and training a full-time development team, purchasing necessary hardware and software, and maintaining the system1.While outsourcing can also potentially reduce the risk of system downtime, increase the ability to adapt the system, and provide direct oversight of risks, these benefits are not as immediate or guaranteed as the cost savings123.

Increased ability to adapt the system could be a strong point, especially if the outsourced team is flexible, but I’m not confident about that.

I think the lower start-up costs might be a big advantage, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the greatest one.

Okay, I've got this. The key advantage of outsourcing here is that it allows the organization to leverage external expertise when they don't have the necessary technical skills in-house. That's got to be the biggest benefit in this case.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to really think through the pros and cons of outsourcing versus keeping the development in-house. The question is asking about the greatest advantage, so I'll need to weigh each option carefully.

I'm a little confused by this question. I'm not sure I fully understand the differences between the answer choices. I'll need to re-read the question and options carefully to try to identify the greatest advantage of outsourcing in this situation.

I’m a bit confused. I thought referential integrity was more about maintaining relationships rather than rejoining them.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The CDB-level backup won't allow for individual PDB recovery, so Mike and Tim will need to take their own PDB backups to be safe.

Lower start-up costs? Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me. Outsourcing is like hiring a professional juggler to handle your bank's finances - what could possibly go wrong?

Increased ability to adapt the system? Yeah, right. Good luck getting those outsourced developers to make any changes without charging you an arm and a leg. It's like herding cats, but with a hefty price tag.

Direct oversight of risks? Psh, that's overrated. Who needs to worry about risks when you can just throw money at the problem and hope it goes away? Outsourcing is the way to go!

Reduced risk of system downtime? I doubt it. Outsourcing means your system is at the mercy of some random company halfway across the world. What could go wrong, right?
