Outsourcing

To outsource, is to subcontract a process, such as software development, product design or manufacturing, to a third-party company. It refers to a company that contracts with another company to provide services currently performed by in-house employees. These separate companies specialize in each process or service, which allows the established business to focus on other issues while having the details taken care of by outside experts.

The specialized company that handles the outsourced work is often streamlined, with world-class capabilities and access to new technology that many companies cannot afford on their own, or may not want to manage. It also allows some insight and analysis into building foundations in other countries for expansion.

Applying the Strategy

There are many reasons that companies outsource various jobs, but the most prominent advantage is the fact that it is an effective, cost-saving strategy when used properly. Many of the companies that provide outsourcing services are able to do the work for considerably less money--with different pay and benefit scales--and stable processes to complete the work more efficiently. An example of outsourcing might be an insurance company setting up a call center in India to handle automated quotes in order to save on the cost of maintaining customer service staff on-site.
