Inter departmental transfer or promote the existing employee to fill your vacancy is a good idea of which you are providing your existing employee with career development and this closest with your company objectives. Yet, I do believe since you have post this vacancy to be open for the outsiders candidates thus surely I knew that you are looking for a candidate that could bring something new and fresh towards to your company's goal,

Hiring from outside brings new talent, new ideas and a new strategy to do things to your company.

Also, new employed are more energetic. Also, hiring from outside is just like upgrading to new technology.
