15. Na corda bamba da terceirização : o caso das administrações tributárias estaduais do Brasil / Information Technology (IT) is a strategic element for modernization and productivity enhancement in today s governmental affairs and service work. Besides that, IT facilitates the crucial role of transparency and accountability demanded by society. In the global context of IT outsourcing risk analysis, this paper aims to serve as a qualitative and quantitative measurement based upon a survey, conducted by the State Tax Administration in Brazil. The results show that a variety of IT services and functions, in both strategic and operational levels, are being outsourced by the regional governmental agencies. The outsourcing is primarily due to 2 factors: 1) the low number of governmental staff members, and 2) the difficulties caused by the State Data Processing Companies growing failure to meet its clients demand. The research also reveals, among all of the other relevant factors, that the main risk (besides fiscal secrecy) is the safety of the information. In addition, when attention is not given, concerning the implementation of an IT selective outsourcing policy program, risk factors end up being potentialized as well as bringing along unexpected outcome for the organizations involved in the process. Thus, this study states that the IT outsourcing models in the field of the government tax system need to be rethought.
