Work data for IT outsourcing

Know which account is under its margin while the month is open

The utilization number arrives after the month it describes. Insightful reads hours by client, project and task as the work happens, so the account is still steerable.

Without Insightful

Without Insightful

Utilization closes with the month

The bench gets sized once payroll has already paid for every hour on it.

The hours on the invoice are typed

The number on the invoice is the one somebody remembered afterwards.

The client's access review stalls you

Their security team asks what your engineers reach, and you make a promise.

One engineer carries two accounts

Two delivery dates land inside one person's week and nobody sees it early.

Rates live in the contract only

The invoice gets built by hand because the system holds one flat rate.

With Insightful

Utilization reads while it is open

Hours land against each account on the day they are worked, by team.

The hours on the invoice were captured

Activity lands against the client, the project and the task as it happens.

The access review has its answer ready

Scope is agreed per client before deployment, and the admin record exports.

The double allocation shows early

Hours and after-hours work read against the accounts each engineer covers.

Rates sit per client and per service

Each line carries the rate its own contract set, with an approver on edits.

No credit card required

Before an engagement starts

What a client's security questionnaire asks

Narrow by design. Insightful holds the shape of the work and never its content, and deployment runs where the contract requires rather than where we would prefer.

Where this does not fit
Desk-based knowledge work on Windows, macOS and Linux. A field or facilities workforce without a primary computer sits outside the number, and that is worth settling before an account is scoped.
On-premise or private cloud
Your own infrastructure where a client contract requires it, with residency in the US, the EU or Saudi Arabia. Rolled out to thousands of devices at once, or through Active Directory, with no seat minimum.
What is never collected
No keystroke logging at any tier, no audio or video, and no message, document or source code content. No client's own data is read.

Three answers to bring to the account review

Each question has its own page. Together they cover the hours behind a billed line, the engineer absorbing two accounts, and the document a client's security team signs.

Where did this client's hours go?

Hours against the client, project and task, with the rate its contract set on each line.

Who is carrying two accounts?

Hours, meeting load and after-hours work side by side, read by team rather than by name.

What will their security team sign?

The scope, the documents and the controls a security leader asks for before a rollout.

Client results

What an outsourcer changed with Insightful

When the workforce is the deliverable, the payout, the client's audit and a contractor's dispute all come off the same record of hours.

If we were to lose Insightful tomorrow, we wouldn't know how to pay the experts on our platform or whether the work is really getting done.

Every system the engagement runs through

Activity comes from the desktop application, so a homegrown labeling stack reports like a commercial one. You can talk to your work data with MCP connectors.

FAQ

What IT outsourcing leaders ask us most

What is IT outsourcing software, and what does Insightful cover?

IT outsourcing software reports the hours, utilization and evidence behind outsourced technology delivery, account by account. Insightful is a work insights platform. It collects hours, application use and meeting load from desk-based teams and reports them by team, each measure against the period before. For a delivery firm that means utilization per account, the approver on any manual edit, and what your engineers reach inside a client's systems. Call quality sampling and handle time sit on the Call Center page.

How is utilization measured, and against what?

Against your own target, which you set. Hours are captured from the desktop application as work happens and held against the client, the project and the task. Time on a client and time on the bench separate without anyone filling in a timesheet. Attribution has to be configured properly first, and an account nobody scoped in the tool will collect its hours in the wrong place.

How do you keep each client's data separate?

Each client's view is scoped to that client's own hours. Collection scope is set per client team before deployment rather than after it, and deployment can run on-premise or through your own directory where a contract requires it. With the Audit Logs add-on, every admin change in the workspace is held in a record no user can alter, which is what a client's security questionnaire asks for.

Does this work across delivery centers and remote engineers?

Yes. It runs on the Insightful desktop application on Windows, macOS and Linux, deployed from your MDM or through Active Directory with no seat minimum. Engineers at home, in a delivery center or split across sites all report the same way, by team. Work setting shows as office or remote rather than as anyone's location. A field or facilities workforce without a primary computer is not covered, which is worth settling before an account is scoped.

What compliance certifications does Insightful hold?

Certified: SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Compliant: HIPAA, GDPR and CCPA, which are regulations rather than certifications. The wording is deliberate, because a client's reviewer will check it. Underneath that, AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.2 in transit, keys in Google Cloud KMS, and residency in the US, the EU or Saudi Arabia, or on-premise. Documentation is available under NDA.
