Introduction

Outsourcing is the process of assigning work to a third party located in an offshore or onshore destination. There are several companies which provide proven outsourcing solutions for many organizations which fall into various industry verticals, ranging from banking to medicine. Outsourcing is considered as a cost-effective way to reduce costs by transferring all or portions of work to an offshore company or suppliers rather than completing the work internally.

Most of the jobs are outsourced by first world nations like United States and UK. These countries tend to outsource their work to offshore destinations such as India, Russia, Israel, China, Philippines and some east European countries. These companies seek outsourcing solutions as their non-core operations are managed far more efficiently and at much lower rates, as compared to in-house. This enables the companies to earn more profits. In addition, to boosting the bottom-line for companies in developed countries, outsourcing solutions also create new job opportunities in the third world nations.

Outsourcing solutions can be generally divided into two categories - business process outsourcing and technology services outsourcing. Business process outsourcing (BPO) include back office operations, call centers and telemarketing, customer relationship management, tele-management and product support, payroll maintenance, medical transcription, finance/accounting/billing services, logistics management, human resources, and supply chain management. Technology services outsourcing include e-commerce (B2B, B2C and C2B Infrastructure), telecommunications, Internet security, and software designing/development/maintenance.

Outsourcing allows the companies and business establishments to cut costs, increase profitability and productivity, increase shareholders value, concentrate on core competencies, provide better services at lower rates, maximize uptime, increase security and reliability, and stay on top of the competition. Outsourcing is considered as an effect use of globalization and for some people it is a boon, while others consider it as a misfortune. This is because several people in the first world countries protest that they are losing work, as most companies tend to outsource their operations to third world countries. Whatever the case, the success stories behind outsourcing far surpass these critics. Strategic vision and better planning help build a successful outsourcing venture.
