Outsourcing Services from USA, America, Canada

Hear the word outsourcing, and you'll hear two sections of crowd - one chanting why outsourcing is here to stay, while the other crowd up in arms against the fallacies of outsourcing. The Unites States has been the leader in outsourcing various business services. Of all services outsourced globally, US accounts for about 60% (Source: Price Waterhouse Coopers). And much of this business goes to outsourcing leaders like India.

Among the countries that provide outsourcing services, India continues to lead the race. Despite threats from new outsourcing hubs springing up around the world, Indian outsourcing vendors lead the pack. Once considered a hotbed of 'low-end' outsourcing services like call centers, it now provides high-end services in the areas of research, design and engineering. As of 2008, revenues from outsourcing were nearly 11 billion USD (Source: NASSCOM).

Some strong drivers as to why US companies can benefit from Flatworld's outsourcing services include -

• We have leveraged the outsourcing advantages that other countries have to offer. We have global delivery centers in - India, Philippines, Kenya, Bolivia, US and Colombia. This has helped us not only create local talent, but also utilize near shore off-shoring benefits
• In any outsourcing model the offshore partner supplements the operations of the outsourcing company with redundancies and back-up mechanisms. Flatworld employs a multi-tier backup system - where multiple copies of secure data are stored. In the event of any calamity or disaster, we can easily retrieve the data and get up to speed immediately
• Outsourcing processes to an external third party ensures that an organization's internal resources are freed up for more mission-critical activities. Flatworld has worked with this premise with all our customer engagements. We have always been more than just a vendor and have established successful partnerships with businesses in the US
• Lower cost outlay is a primary advantage of outsourcing. The costs of labor, infrastructure and systems in India are a fraction of what is available in the US. Through outsourcing, Flatworld has realized this fact and has worked its pricing in such a way that they can be reinvested for growing the core areas of your business

Pricing is a critical factor to consider before outsourcing. Our pricing model allows you to keep your costs in control.

They believe in a “partnering” method for communication. And they also design custom solutions for small businesses and organizations.

Unity Communications- Global Award Winner for BPO

US-based companies are amazing at R&D, creative endeavors, product development, sales, and other professional crafts. But when it comes to repetitive, entry-level, and detailed tasks, sometimes it is better to outsource the work to keep wages and job satisfaction high.

The 6 best online outsourcing websites (and how to use them)

Freelancer and Upwork are freelancing sites that facilitate and streamline the process of hiring virtual or remote workers.

Each of these sites have their own approach, but in essence, all of these companies allow you to do more or less the same thing.

You can post a job description, have people bid on the work, negotiate on price, and look at previous ratings and work history before settling on either a contract rate, or a pay-per hour agreement.

Generally, money is held by each of the websites in an escrow account, and they release the payment to the worker when the work is complete (skimming a neat profit at the same time – typically 10-15% of the money that changes hands).

The best outsourcing websites

• Freelancer.com
• Amazon’s Mechanical Turk

Read on as we will review each of them later.

See how Time Doctor’s easy-to-use time tracking software can help your team be more productive.

So why outsource.

Freelancer (an online job marketplace acquired by Freelancer in 2012) argues that online outsourcing makes workers “more accountable”.

With 54% of traditional workers in the U.S. “sleepwalk through their day” and an additional 18% actively sabotage other workers, a Gallup Research says, “in today’s competitive environment, that’s simply unacceptable,” says Freelancer founder Ian Ippolito.

“When I hire a traditional employee, I can’t be sure they’ll do the job right, spending time at the water cooler or playing solitaire instead. But in our virtual environment, we’re proud to guarantee performance,” Ippolito said.

The added flexibility of having to hire staff only when you need them is another reason why many businesses are turning to online outsourcing . You also can get access to top quality people at a much lower rate than if you were hiring in your own country and the cost savings can be very significant.

To hire a quality programmer in California is probably going to set you back $80-$120 per hour.

Using outsourced web sites you can find quality programmers in the US for $30-$40 per hour, or in India, the Philippines or Russia for $10-$15 per hour.

Additional Tips:

Outsourcing and freelancing sites allow entrepreneurs to easily launch side hustles and affiliate sites without incurring huge labor costs.

Getting started

Outsourcing can be overwhelming at first – each of these sites uses a different system, have a different layout and can take days to get used to.

Deciding on which site to use while striking the balance between competitive rates and effective results can be like walking a virtual tightrope.

As mentioned above, all of these sites will require you to:

• Post your job.
• Start receiving proposals from candidates.
• Compare profiles, reviews, ratings, credentials, portfolios and price to select the best fit. Methods of payment and working together generally vary from site to site (explained in more detail below).

We ourselves have been active in online outsourcing for over 10 years and our virtual team extends to several countries around the world. We’ve used these sites many times for many different projects (small and large).

Here’s what we know.

Based on Compete.com rankings, these six sites are the top outsourcing sites on the internet (at least in terms of traffic). From most to least popular:

How it works: Pay only for verified time spent working for you – Upwork’s Work Diary software allows you to see each of team members activity levels (keyboard and mouse activity), and feedback, as well as web cams and screenshots of their computer to make workers more accountable.

Payments: Based on hours worked, or completed jobs.

Fees: The fee is 10% of the employer’s payment to Upwork which equates to 11.11% on top of the amount paid to the contractor.

Our experience: Upwork is great when you have a task where you’d prefer to pay by the hour. Also, note that Upwork is formerly oDesk, which merged with Elance in 2013.

Check out our comprehensive Upwork review if you want to go into more detail about the platform.

2. Freelancer.com

How it works: When you hire a worker you need to create payment milestones, as milestones are completed, payment is released.

Payments: Based on milestones, or completed work.

Fees: Here’s where it gets messy:

• Posting a project – $5, refundable, fully refunded on selecting a Service Provider.
• Selecting a Service Provider – $3 or 3%, whichever is higher
• Posting a Featured Project – $19
• Hide Project from Search Engines – $3
• Optional Hide Bids from Other Users – $3
• Gold Membership – $24.95/month, 0% project commissions
• Posting a Full Time Project – $99.95

Our experience: Better for project based work (one off jobs). Easy to use, and suited to smaller jobs – “The average job is under US$200, making outsourcing for the first time extremely cost effective for small businesses .

We also have a full Freelancer review if you want to learn more.

How it works: Pay for completed work.

Fees: Memberships are available from $29.95 to $99.95 per quarter.

• Project Fee – Either 5 or 10% of the Invoice or Escrow amount, depending on your membership level.
• Escrow Fee – 2% of the escrowed amount. Only charged when SafePay Escrow is used.
• Employer Payment Method Fees – Up to 4% for a credit card payment and 2.5% for Withdraw Method Fees – $3 to receive funds by check and $9 to receive funds by wire transfer.

Our experience: Caters more to US based freelancers (182,000 workers in the US vs 51,242 in India, and only 1,887 in the Russian Federation). Working with a native English speaker is sometimes a good option when you need to be able to verbally communicate project requirements.

Guru is also a good option if you are looking to work with a US based provider.

4. Amazon’s Mechanical Turk

How it works: This platform provides developers with access to an on-demand workforce with a flexible UI with a simple API.

Organizations use crowdsourcing via MTurk for help with things like microwork, human insights, and machine learning development .

Fees: You decide how much to pay the person you hire.

• 20% fee on the reward and bonus amount (if any) you pay Workers.
• HITs with 10 or more assignments will be charged an additional 20% fee on the reward you pay Workers.
• The minimum fee is $0.01 per assignment or bonus payment.

Masters qualification fee:

• There is an additional fee for using the Masters Qualification.
• The fee is 5% of the reward you pay Workers.

Premium qualifications:

• There is an additional fee for using Premium Qualifications .
• The additional fee per assignment starts at $0.05 and varies depending on the qualification .

Our experience: It’s a strange name, but it has some great functionality. MTurk is based on the idea of taking a job and separating it out for many different people to work on (in pieces).

It’s an interesting approach and worth checking it out if that approach fits your project requirements.

5. DesignHill

How it works: Post a brief where you describe your project, choose a package, and then launch your design project.

You’ll browse dozens of designs that designers submit to your contest. Then, you can give feedback and get unlimited revisions. You get to choose the best one when all is said and done.

Fees: Fees vary depending on which package you select. Fees vary from $199-$999.

Our experience: This is a good option if you have a limited budget for graphic design and/or want to choose from more style than one.

The crowdsourcing option gives you the opportunity to limit down designers until you’ve found the one you like the best.

How it works: Professional freelancers post “gigs” and buyers can review the gig, contact the seller, and see the price.

Once a gig catches a buyer’s eye, they can enter into an agreement and start working on a project together.

Fees: The buyer will pay full price of the gig, usually via PayPal or CC, the seller keeps 80%, and Fiverr keeps the other 20%. If a gig costs the traditional $5, the seller keeps $4, and Fiverr keeps $1.

Our experience: Fiverr started out with most freelancers posting their services for $5. Freelancers can now post their starting rate, and also provide add-ons. Even though gigs sometimes cost more than $5 , the prices are still outrageously low. It’s possible to strike gold and find remote work for very reasonable prices.

You can also try out the other sites like Fiverr for the more reasonable prices for the different tasks.

Which site is best?

In short, it depends on the type of work that you are doing.

For hourly work, Upwork is possibly the best option. For one off project based work, Guru and Freelancer.com are great options as they have a process where you upload funds into escrow (giving the provider and reassurance).

Disputes over completed work are usually handled swiftly – although it’s important to have a clear job description (see below – Tips for posting jobs). In our experience Freelancer is best for getting project based work completed.

Guru is great if you are looking for a US based provider. With Upwork the providers often have to pay to bid on projects. This provides a bar that eliminates some of the lower quality providers. The result is that you are more likely to pay a little more, but you are also more likely to get a good end result. Places like Fiverr have workers all over the world, but the prices are also more than fair.

If you are looking for a specific type of work, DesignHill and MTurk are more focused. These might be a great place to start if you know what you want, and want to only hire a designer, for example.

It’s hard to say which site is the best, because it depends on your preferences, your goals, your budget, and how you like to work with remote workers.

Each outsourcing website is different, and you’ll get different features, different benefits, different types of remote workers, and different expertise. The best idea is to check them all out and see what works best for you individually.

Comparing the software used to monitor paid by the hour work

If you are hiring on an hourly basis you’ll want to monitor how many hours are worked (and confirm they were actually worked).

If you develop trust in someone you might not need to do this, but generally it’s hard to trust a new person that you are paying on a hourly basis that they will deliver the results you want (and/or that they aren’t just sitting around fiddling with their mouse).

Upwork has a “similar tool” which takes screenshots of the person’s computer at regular intervals.

Time Doctor (that’s us!) is another alternative which can be used to monitor paid by the hour workers.

It’s a much more comprehensive and a more effective tool for working with remote teams and has many advantages including automated reports, time usage reports (for application and internet usage) and it doesn’t attract an ongoing fee (as the Team Tool and AccueTime Card would).

Project based work versus paying an hourly rate

Generally, you can hire either on a project basis, paying for a completed project , or on an hourly basis.

Project work is generally safer for you as there is a fixed amount you need to pay to get the task complete.

When you hire on an hourly rate you don’t have any reassurance of the maximum amount that you will spend.

An hourly rate is more appropriate for longer term work or where you have a variety of different tasks for the person.

Tips for project based work

If you hire on a project basis, make sure that you do complete and detailed specifications of the project . Exactly what do you want to happen, how will you know when it is complete.

List the requirements in detail. Be careful that you select someone who has experience doing projects of a similar level of complexity.

It is easy for freelancers to say yes to a project without thinking through how difficult it might be to complete (particularly if they are desperate for work).

Having someone quit halfway through a project is the worst possible outcome (and an experience we’ve have had many times).

Having to start over means you lose time and money. Learn from our mistakes – see below.

Hiring an individual versus a team

On all of these sites, there are generally 2 types of workers – individuals and teams.

The advantage of hiring an individual is that you know exactly who you are working with and you can get familiar with the working style of that person.

If you are working long term on an hourly rate, you can negotiate lower rates if you are working directly.

You will also have more control if you are hiring a person rather than you hiring a company which has a number of employees. On the other hand a company might bring more training, synergy and an environment where people can ask for advice and direction.

In our experience working with an individual is a better move especially if you are working together in the long term.

Which country should you hire in?

About 5 years ago, we worked with an online researcher and programmer based in Mumbai.

Things were going so well that we asked him to set up an office for us. We paid for computers, office space, etc and wrote up some contracts for 2-3 new staff who would work under his supervision.

5 weeks later we received an email that went something like this:

“Hi, I am the younger cousin of ________ and he is forcing me to do work and doesn’t pay me. He threatened to stab me with a knife if I talk to you”.

Our Mumbai contact had forged receipts for office equipment, falsified personal documentation and was sitting between 2 computers pretending to be 3 different people.

In general most of our experiences with workers from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have been negative.

In our experience, it’s common for freelancers to ask for bonuses before work is completed, complain that the work is taking longer than expected, ask for money, and will often create really poor excuses for not reaching milestones: rare diseases, non-existent floods, house fires and everything in between have been used to excuse under-performance.

As always, it really depends on the person.

There are extremely talented people in India, however it is sometimes difficult for you to get access to them on freelance sites .

We work with a designer who is Indian – he’s an illustrator and does great work and has never missed a deadline.

It’s important to look at work history carefully to make sure that past performances matches would you’d expect from a worker (and make sure their experience is in the right area). If they have multiple very high ratings on the freelance site you are more likely to be pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed.

Other locations

Former Soviet Union (Russia, Belarus, Ukraine etc) – a good place to find low cost, technically superb coders.

Usually not the clearest communicators (or the best designers), and you’ll have more luck if you have a detailed blueprint at the beginning of a project. However, they are generally hard workers and honest in answers to any questions you have.

Philippines – incredibly diligent workers in all areas. It’s possible to find good writers, marketers, researchers and programmers. One of the cheaper places to hire great staff.

USA / Canada / UK – excellent if you are looking for skills in a particular area, but it’s important to look at work history.

We’ve had bad experiences hiring people who are new to freelancing. In general hiring someone in these places is more likely to get you a better result but is also more likely to be 2-10 times more expensive.

Graphic / Web design – don’t hire designers from South East Asia if you expect a western looking result. South America seems to have good illustrators and Flash programmers.

Expats – hiring someone from the US or UK living in Thailand for example can be a great way to get very talented people at a lower hourly rate.

Their living costs are lower and they might not find it easy to get a high paying job in their place of residence – freelancing might be an extremely appealing option. Try advertising on expat forums.

Note: In each country be aware of natural disasters. For example, typhoons can wipe out power to entire cities for a number of days in the Philippines. Political turmoil or severe heat waves can also create problems in some countries.

Tips for selecting the right worker

A common struggle with online outsourcing is ending up with people that can’t get the job done or leave half way through a project.

One way to overcome this problem is to hire people that have good feedback and ratings. If we are posting a complex job, we never hire anyone with less than 30 completed jobs and they must have ratings of higher than 90% (or 9 out of 10).

Another way to dissect your applicants is to avoid any generic responses. If someone hasn’t addressed your criteria in a clear and simple way, it’s probably not worth looking at their work history.

You can even put a simple test in your job description like “mention the word elephant when you are replying so that I know you’ve read our job description in full”.

Kick the tires

Although it takes a little longer, if the job is important, you should create a small test that can evaluate a person’s skills.

For example when hiring a writer for my website, I asked them to write 3 sentences for a specific page on my site. “Please look at this web page, evaluate the current content and then add another paragraph of 3-5 sentences that you think are missing on the page, and that fits with the current style of the content”.

Here’s a very good example of a short job advertisement / test by Jason Fried from 37 Signals they used to hire customer support representatives for their business.

Alternatively (especially for larger projects), hiring someone for a small-project they can do in their spare time is a lot easier for both sides to swallow. “Kick the Tires” in Getting Real talks about this:

Before we hire anyone we give them a small project to chew on first. We see how they handle the project, how they communicate, how they work, etc. Working with someone as they design or code a few screens will give you a ton of insight. You’ll learn pretty quickly whether or not the right vibe is there. Scheduling can be tough for this sort of thing but even if it’s for just 20 or 40 hours, it’s better than nothing. If it’s a good or bad fit, it will be obvious.

It’s also a good idea to think hard about what you’re offering and how you can make your situation as attractive as possible: flexible hours, bonuses for work completed before deadlines and any other sweeteners will help attract a great pool of workers to select from.

The most common frustration is in not getting the output that you desire out of the contractor. Another potential problem is needing to spend a lot of time back and forth training the person or fixing issues with their work.

Here are a few pointers for overcoming these and other challenges:

• Hire people with a lot of great feedback.
• Test many different people, possibly using several different outsourcing sites.
• After testing, select the best few people and hire all of them. Then start working with these few different people on test projects and continue working long term with the ones that produce the best results.

Really it’s a matter of trial and error to a large degree, and once you work with dozens of people you will find a few who always come through for you and whom you can depend on.

Over time you’ll develop a list of preferred contractors that you can contact for work that you know they can deliver.

What can you outsource with these sites?

Theoretically, you can outsource anything.

Looking at the types of work listed in Upwork for example there is: programming, web design , writing, sales, customer support even legal work or accounting.

In practice the more specialized and complex the task, the more difficult it is to find the right person on one of these sites.

Hiring staff directly vs using an outsourcing site

Outsourcing sites are best for finding people to do project based work.

If you want a longer term full time person you might want to try hiring them directly. Target the country or area where you are most likely to find the right staff. Then use a multi-pronged recruitment method including: posting on job sites, Linkedin, posting in relevant forums and referrals from people in your network.

Recruiting remote staff (in your own country or abroad) is really no different to recruiting locally. All of the same hiring and firing principles apply.

In the US, Craigslist, Linkedin, Monster are good ways to advertise for people. Sometimes you can get better results from word of month, from advertising on Facebook or from advertising or relevant forums or industry specific web sites.

For example if you are recruiting Java programmers, there are a number of Java forum websites where you can advertise for free or for a small fee. This helps you to go direct to the place where your target employees are hanging out. You can do the same thing with Linkedin.

Recruiting overseas in the Philippines, Russia, India etc is similar.

You can use Facebook, Linkedin or local job websites to recruit in all of these places. For example to recruit in the Philippines you can use BestJobs.ph .

In Romania, there are English language job websites like bestjobs.eu . In general, it’s not hard to find popular job sites any country and posting a job ad is usually $50 to $100.

In other developed countries you will find sites like Gumtree (Australia) where you can advertise jobs for free (or find people looking for work). Similarly, in the U.K. Where the job market is tight you can find highly skilled travelers who might be interested in any sort of work (try the jobs section in TNT Magazine ).

10 tips for posting projects requirements

• Write your description as if you are explaining them to a 10 year old child
• Set clear milestones if you want use them for payments
• Ask someone else to read your project description before uploading it – sometimes things that make sense to you will make no sense at all to someone who has no involvement with your project or company
• Invite workers who have matching experience. For instance, if you are looking for Joomla help, search for workers with Joomla experience and good ratings. Sort them by the last sign in date and then invite them to your project.
• If you are worried about protecting your intellectual property or idea, create an NDA and make sure you are exchanging it with a real entity. Make your terms and conditions reasonable (most of these sites have a standard NDA you can modify).
• If you don’t want to draw attention to what you are doing, keep your job description vague and discuss details only with parties you are interested in working with.
• Post the majority of your job description in an attachment and leave a small “test” to make sure the person has read the description (for example, mentioning a particular word or asking them to address 2-3 key criteria).
• Use a service like gomockingbird.com to clearly outline your ideas in a visual medium
• Make your project sound exciting and include that it will look good in any portfolio
• Post your job to specific geographic regions depending upon the sort of worker you are looking for.

The future of outsourcing—and how to outsource the right way.

Stephen King serves as President & CEO of GrowthForce , a leading outsourced accounting and bookkeeping service provider for businesses.

As a business leader, you know how important it is to identify your unique value proposition and focus on maintaining the quality of services you offer while being the absolute best you can be in your own corner of your industry. One of the most powerful business tools and operations strategies that can help leaders focus their time, resources and manpower on the valuable tasks that hold up the core of the business and drive profits is outsourcing.

Outsourcing is the practice of hiring a third party to provide, manage or handle a business function that could otherwise be performed internally. For example, outsourcing includes contracting outside accounting firms, attorneys or marketing companies to handle a business's bookkeeping and accounting, legal department or marketing.

The Current State Of Outsourcing

I've found that two sub-industries dominate outsourcing: IT outsourcing (cybersecurity, cloud computing, etc.) and business process outsourcing (HR, bookkeeping and accounting, payroll, etc.). Many businesses that use outsourcing say that it increases focus on core functions, and about two-thirds of businesses cite cost savings as a primary advantage of outsourcing. Outsourcing HR through professional employer organizations was found to save businesses an average of 27.2% in 2019.

In 2019, Clutch found that 37% of small businesses already outsourced at least one business function, and Statista reported the total market value of the global outsourcing market to be worth $92.5 billion . More recently, Deloitte found that around 90% of companies see cloud computing as a vital aspect of outsourcing.

According to Syntax's 2021 IT Trends Report, 91% of IT leaders have their own security operations center (SOC) team or in-house security talent, but 83% of those leaders are actively considering or seeking outside cybersecurity solutions.

The Future Of Outsourcing: What's Next?

As the “great resignation” surges on, remote and hybrid workplaces become increasingly popular, and automation with improving technologies takes increasing hold, I think the outsourcing industry is likely to continue expanding.

Globally, outsourcing spending is predicted to reach $731 billion in 2023 . IT outsourcing spend could increase 22% over 2019's numbers to reach $519 billion in 2023. The global business process outsourcing spend could increase 19% over 2019's numbers to reach $212 billion in 2023. Grandview Research predicts that the business process outsourcing industry will reach $525 billion by 2030.

Outsourcing Pros And Cons

Outsourcing can have both benefits and drawbacks, depending on a variety of factors. The primary benefits include improved productivity, cost savings, time savings and better use of resources. Outsourcing non-core business functions can also allow companies to tap into vast wells of expertise outside of their industry. Additionally, outsourcing reduces the number of positions needed to fill in-house, helping to ease the hiring burden.

Problems with outsourcing can occur when businesses outsource with partners that are not high-quality choices. Disadvantages of outsourcing can include problems like a lack of continuity in communications, quality, security concerns and hidden fees or costs. Additionally, if you don't receive the quality of service you expected, the business can suffer overall.

How To Outsource The Right Way

1. Choose the right outsourced services.

Don't outsource parts of your business willy-nilly. Instead, think carefully about the non-core business functions that slow you down and drain the largest portion of your resources. To get the most bang for your outsourcing buck, begin with outsourcing these areas.

2. Define, set and measure goals.

In addition to choosing the right parts of your business to outsource, it's also important to define and set goals early so you clearly understand the reasons why you're choosing to outsource. Do you want to improve productivity, save money, increase security, reduce labor costs, increase ROI on labor or increase profit margins?

Set goals, measure your starting metrics and make sure you have systems in place that enable you to measure the impact outsourcing has on your business.

3. Choose the right partners.

When outsourcing, the quality of the partner you choose is paramount to a successful relationship and outsourcing experience. Be sure to choose an outsourcing partner that has expertise (education, certification and/or other credentials), experience (a long track record of doing business and positive customer reviews), and good security (sound IT security and employee vetting practices).

4. Understand your responsibilities and those of your outsourcing partners.

When working with an outsourced partner, it's important to understand everyone's responsibilities and the role they play in the relationship. This helps ensure that the relationship goes smoothly and that the outsourcing partnership is successful. For example, it's essential that you understand how the system works, have a clear plan for communication and understand what your business needs to do to ensure outsourcing success.

5. Read the fine print.

Before signing a contract with an outsourced service provider, be sure you read all the fine print. You should understand exactly what services you are purchasing, the nature and rules of your subscription or contract, and also the pricing structure. Ask whether there are any limitations with your outsourcing plan and if there are ever any surcharges or fees that you could encounter.

6. Manage your employees through the change.

Outsourcing not only impacts operations, costs and productivity, but it also affects your employees. Outsourcing can be a great resource for helping to avoid employee burnout, but the way you plan to use outsourcing needs to be communicated clearly. Outsourcing can lead employees to worry about their job security.

Be sure you communicate the plan to your employees, provide them with training for new roles (if their job duties will be redefined) and ensure they understand the new processes and procedures for minimal disruption when the workflow shifts.

Whether you're still operating 100% in-house or have already outsourced portions of your business, you can show strong leadership by identifying aspects of your company that outsourcing could benefit. By creating an outsourcing strategy now and pairing it with a human capital management plan to see your employees through the changes, you'll be well prepared to super-charge your profits and productivity.

Definition: The IT Outsourcing market refers to the external contracting of IT functions, services, or projects instead of relying on company-owned resources. By outsourcing IT tasks (e.g., to IT suppliers or software developers), enterprises are able to focus on their core functions and save internal resources and costs (e.g., office space, maintenance, and utilities). Thus, outsourcing teams becomes a viable cost resilience strategy in an environment where companies are looking to save money more than ever.

In an IT context, these activities include IT administration, IT application, and web hosting services. Non-IT-related outsourcing services are excluded.

IT Outsourcing contains four distinct markets that are based on different services:

• Administration Outsourcing refers to the market for services associated with the external sourcing of typical IT administration tasks such as hardware supply, setup, configuration, maintenance, security, and support.
• Application Outsourcing refers to the market for all IT application services in a software production context, spanning from requirement assessments to concept and design of software applications.
• Web Hosting includes all types of internet hosting services that allow companies or individuals to provide access to their web page via the World Wide Web.
• Other IT Outsourcing refers to aggregated revenues of the types of IT outsourcing that are not specifically mentioned in the other IT Outsourcing markets, such as infrastructure outsourcing, network outsourcing, and managed services.

Additional Information:

The IT Outsourcing market comprises revenues, revenue change, average spend per employee, and revenues of the outsourcing types. Market values represent revenues that are generated by primary vendors either directly or through distribution channels at the manufacturer price level (excluding VAT). Reported market revenues include spending by enterprises (B2B) and governments (B2G). Detailed definitions of each market can be found on the respective page where the market data is displayed. Key players in the market include IBM, Accenture, Capgemini, NTT, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Interest in IT outsourcing is growing thanks to accelerating digitalization, the wider use of enterprise applications, and the increased popularity of home office setups. More than ever, IT oursourcing is being adopted by large and mid-sized companies across a range of industries from telecoms and finance to e-commerce and manufacturing. Most often, companies are looking to outsource IT support, infrastructure management, and business application operations. The main reason for outsourcing is the lack of IT experts. The shortage is caused by demographic issues and the high demand for skilled workers.

With digital transformation and increasing applications and extensions provided by IT, the segment of IT Outsourcing has been growing steadily in the past few years and is anticipated to witness significant growth in the upcoming years. This is leading to two developments: first, a higher demand for products and services that can be outsourced, and second, a lower threshold for outsourcing these products and services to companies located outside the buyers’ countries. Moreover, by outsourcing IT tasks (e.g., IT suppliers and software developers), enterprises are allowed to focus on their core functions and save internal resources and costs (e.g., office space, maintenance, and utilities). Thus, outsourcing teams becomes a viable cost resilience strategy in an environment where companies are looking for savings more than ever.

The IT outsourcing sector is the biggest contributor to revenue in the IT Services market, with US$361 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach US$777.8 billion by 2028.

The Complete Guide for Outsourcing IT Projects

Outsourcing is driving value for businesses of all sizes and from everywhere in the world. But you probably know all about that already. So let’s take a walk.

By Damian Scalerandi

SVP of Professional Services Damian Scalerandi leads every step of IT project delivery with multi-cutural teams to help accomplish client goals.

There’s no doubt about it: outsourcing software development projects is making digital acceleration accessible to anyone. For the first time in the history of outsourcing (and thanks to the many new technologies that have allowed remote work to become a commonplace practice), any company in the world can get immediate access to the best developers in the market .

That, of course, has brought up a lot of attention to technology adoption, giving birth to what we now know as digital differentiation . In other words, getting an edge over the competition is now all about who has the best tech and the best IT talent at their disposal. This is easy to see when you take into account that the leading companies in every industry are the ones that know their way around the best software solutions. 

But you probably know all about that already, which is why you’ve ended up here, at the Best Guide for Outsourcing IT Projects In 2021. So let’s take a walk and dive deeper into how exactly you can outsource your IT project, what parts you could outsource, why or why shouldn’t you do it, and a lot more. 

How Do You Outsource an IT Project?

Being a fairly recent industry with just over a decade on its back, business leaders have had all kinds of experiences with outsourcing their IT projects. I’ve heard horror stories about projects that delivered entirely different products than what was requested and inspiring stories about companies that saved a ton of money on development and still got a better solution than what they expected. 

All of that begs the question: What did the first group do wrong? What makes or breaks IT outsourcing? 

Well, the answer to that question is perhaps simpler than it seems. Unlike what most people may think, outsourcing is not about finding the cheapest solution out there – it’s about getting the most valuable return on your investment. In other words, if you want to do outsourcing right, you need to focus on cost-effectiveness. 

The most important step to achieve that is choosing the right vendor. For many,  picking the perfect offshore company can be a little tricky, especially given how many there are around the world. Luckily, there are few aspects you can always focus on, including:

• Fluent Communication and Workflow : Fluent communication and workflow is the most critical step to outsourcing. Your Software Outsourcing partner should be perfectly fluent in English or the language of your choice. Also, their work process should match your workflow throughout the development cycle.
• Standardized Security Protocols : In an increasingly tech-driven world, cybersecurity is more important than ever. Make sure the IT company of your choice has up-to-date security protocols for keeping all data and software products safe.
• Top Talent Software Engineers : Software development outsourcing gives you access to world-class IT talent. It’s the job of an outsourcing company to gather the best software developers from the region and use their talent to build the best possible product for you.
• Quality Experience : Always check references, past clients, and completed projects of your potential IT partner. This information will give you some insight into the IT company’s performance, workflow style, and quality of software products.
• Full Range of Services : What you need today might not be what you need tomorrow. The best outsourcing companies specialize in a wide range of fields to handle your project from a holistic and highly-experienced approach.

What Parts of the Project Should Be Outsourced?

This is a great question (and one that always has a different answer). The beautiful thing about outsourcing IT solutions is that you can outsource literally as much of the project as you want. Some companies outsource the work of a single engineer who can help patch a vulnerability in a couple of weeks, others hire a team of System Architects to redefine and optimize their IT infrastructure, and there are even those who simply outsource the entire thing to a third party and take all the weight off their shoulders. 

But that doesn’t really answer the question, does it? If you’re wondering what parts of your project should be outsourced, I’m afraid I can’t give you an exact answer. I don’t know what your project is about! But what I can do is tell you exactly how the most common types of outsourcing work, and then you can hit the ballpark of what types of services you’ll be needing before you sign anything. 

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the three main types of IT outsourcing there are: Delivery Teams, Staff Augmentation, and Project-Based Outsourcing. Read our article on the 9 types of IT projects to outsource.

Delivery Teams

Delivery Teams are perhaps the most common form of IT outsourcing today. Simply put, a Delivery Team is an autonomous group of engineers that works in parallel with the client’s in-house team. If you choose to work with a top software development company, you’re likely to get a tailored-fit team in just a few days. 

Delivery Teams are an ideal choice for companies who are looking to develop high-quality software but don’t have the infrastructure or talent available to do so. This makes it easier for businesses to jumpstart their projects in a flash and start freeing up internal resources by transferring workloads to their development partners.

Staff Augmentation

If you already have an established IT or software development department within your company, then IT Staff Augmentation might be exactly what you’re looking for. This service provides an “Extended Team” that works as part of your local team—and I mean that. Extended Teams will attend daily meetings, report directly to your company’s managers, and do anything else that the in-house engineers do to get things moving. 

Staff Augmentation is the perfect choice for companies that need a rapid integration of outstanding software engineers into their team. This way, you can immediately find the right fit for hard-to-fill or temporary positions, which boosts the scalability and efficiency of project development. And, of course, you’ll be bypassing everything related to sourcing, recruiting, and retaining talented software engineers.

Project-Based Outsourcing

Project-Based Outsourcing or PBO is what most people understand as good, old plain software outsourcing. PBO is a full-cycle process in which the software services vendor takes care of everything related to software development from start to finish. You, as the client, only need to come up with what you want to get done and provide feedback as the project progresses. 

This model gives you immediate access to the resources necessary to execute complex and time-sensitive projects without the need to have any onboard IT talent. Nonetheless, remember that it’s always better to have a clearly defined project scope (or at least a solid idea of what you want to achieve and how you are going to measure it) so that the end product turns out to be what you actually wanted. Your software outsourcing partner will also provide consultancy on project management, choice of the technology stack, and any other area from the client’s end that requires support. 

When Should I Outsource My IT Project?

There are many situations in which offshoring becomes the most viable option. Here are some of the most common ones.

• When you lack in-house IT Talent : Top talented offshore developers are scarce on a global scale. IT Companies work with remote methodologies to overcome this challenge.
• When you need to fill specialized roles : Many projects require either super-specialized technical roles or temporary positions that aren’t attractive for top talented developers.
• When you’re dealing with complex projects : Tackling a complex project requires a lot of know-how and technical expertise. Without those, it’s easy to run into speed bumps and accumulate downtime.
• When you are working on tight deadlines : Getting the right results at the right time can be the difference between success and failure. Offshore developers scale your capabilities when needed.
• When you need expert support and consulting : Software outsourcing companies provide consulting and support solutions for existing or ongoing projects that have fallen off the tracks.
• When you want to maximize cost-efficiency : IT development companies completely eliminate the costs of hiring in-house staff while providing the same or better benefits.

What Should Be Practiced for Best Outsourcing?

As with most things in life, the better prepared you are to start your outsourcing journey, the better results you will be able to achieve. Most of the time, practicing these five things will get you on your way towards a smooth and value-driven outsourcing experience. 

• Have clear goals : As we all know, outsourcing services make it easier for your company to reach its goals. However, you are the one in charge of setting the goals your outsourcing partner needs to achieve. That’s why having a clear idea of what you’re aiming for and the results you expect in a given time frame are both so important to developing a custom technology solution that matches your needs. 
• Set your priorities straight : While it is true that your outsourcing partner will help you build a detailed roadmap of your project, you’ll be the one to provide feedback on what is getting done and what needs to get done. As such, you’ll need to clearly state what matters most for your company and your clients. So keep your priorities straight and participate as much as possible throughout development. 
• Paint a clear picture : Today, bringing an idea to the table is rarely enough to build a successful software solution. You need to describe an experience and paint a clear picture of it so that your software development partner can make it into the real thing. The clearer the picture, the faster your project will come out of the wireframing and sketching stage. 
• List all of your needs : The tech stack of your company is most likely very particular in its needs. And your project, just like any other, will require a team of engineers that are well versed in that very same tech stack and in your industry. Make a list of what you’ll need from your IT partner and ask about the different service models and technologies they can offer to get a feel of how they could fit in your project.
• Put everything on paper : Service Level Agreements are the lifeblood of outsourcing contracts . If you want to include accountability in your project (and you should), always put everything on paper. Having proper documentation speeds up any process and makes everything much more transparent. Your outsourced team will help you choose the best solution to achieve your goals on time and cost-efficiently. 

A Quick Recap on This Definitive Guide to Outsource IT Projects in 2021

Outsourcing is driving value for businesses of all sizes and from everywhere in the world. I hope this article was helpful to you. And remember, if you have any further questions, my colleagues at BairesDev are always happy to help . Let’s finish this guide with a recap of the most important aspects of outsourcing IT projects in 2021. 

• Define the objective : If you want your project to be successful, you’ll need a clear statement of exactly what you’re trying to achieve and what you’ll be requiring from your software outsourcing partner. Outlining expected deliverables within the contract timeframe is a must. 
• Choose your partner wisely : Not all software outsourcing companies are the same. It is always better to go with an experienced partner that has a proven track record developing software similar to what you’re trying to achieve. Always check references!
• Understand the different service models : Outsourcing is a fully-customizable service, so you’ll always get the best deal on what you need. However, learning the differences between the three main outsourcing models ( Dedicated Teams , Staff Augmentation, and Project-Based Outsourcing) will get you ahead on the process. 
• Prioritize value, not cost : The days when outsourcing was all about getting the cheapest solution possible are gone. Now, businesses from all over the world outsource software services to access a global talent pool of expert developers who can build high-quality products cost-effectively. 
• Communicate Constantly : Communication is key in every software development project. Make sure you have established communication channels and protocols with your outsourcing provider. Keeping a constant feedback loop throughout development is highly beneficial for both parties. 
• Ask questions : As the client, you need to ask as many questions as you need to understand exactly what your software outsourcing partner is offering and how it will benefit your goals. All of your doubts and concerns must be addressed in the Service Level Agreement. 
• Demand cybersecurity : Cybersecurity is more important than ever. No matter what kind of software you’re looking to outsource, make sure that your partner can comply with all the cybersecurity requirements that apply. 
• Put it all on paper : As you know, your contract with the software provider will determine everything related to the outsourcing project. This includes all of the relevant documents for the process, such as the Service Level Agreement, the Software Requirements and Specifications, the Key Performance Indicators, and a Non-Disclosure Agreement if necessary.

Start » strategy, how to outsource everything : a guide for overwhelmed small business owners.

If you’re a small business owner who’s feeling overwhelmed, here’s why you should consider outsourcing some of your business’s tasks.

As a small business owner managing various daily responsibilities, it can be difficult to find time to focus on your business’s growth. Often, the most efficient and affordable way to handle those tasks isn’t by taking care of them in-house, but rather by outsourcing.

Here’s what you should know about outsourcing for your small business.

The benefits of outsourcing

Without the right support, small business owners can easily feel overwhelmed; however, outsourcing can help alleviate those burdens. Data shows 83% of small businesses will continue or increase their spending on outsourcing services in 2023.

Here are four benefits of outsourcing.

Cost reduction

Those on a tight budget can benefit from outsourcing, as companies that outsource their work are not required to fulfill the same legal obligations as companies that hire employees. Unlike in-house workers, outsourced workers don’t receive benefits from your business and pay their own taxes and insurance — the outsourced worker must pay all of their own costs.

Additionally, outsourced workers don’t add much burden to a company’s overhead costs, and their expertise comes at a more affordable rate than W-2 employees because you’re only paying for the projects they complete.

Increased productivity

Outsourcing allows your team to hone in on the projects that are most important to your company’s success while passing along manual or mundane tasks to an outside party who can take on the projects at an affordable cost. You can then use your team to its full potential by having employees focus their expertise where it's needed most, avoiding feeling overworked or unmotivated.

For small business owners, outsourcing time-consuming responsibilities helps with time management, providing them with more time to focus on growing their business and achieving their goals.

Increased customer satisfaction

When small business owners outsource tasks and projects to external workers, they open themselves up to new opportunities, which can aid in company growth and improve customer satisfaction. That’s because outsourcing helps to waste less time on burdensome tasks, allowing business owners to take back control of their schedule and increase their productivity.

Instead of focusing on responsibilities that are essential to operations but not necessarily bringing in money — such as HR responsibilities or IT solutions — small business owners can outsource these roles and instead focus on high-priority, revenue-generating tasks and developing new ideas that will keep customers returning long-term.

Access to specialized talent

Sometimes your business will require a set of skills your existing team may not have. In these situations, outsourcing tasks to a specialized worker can lead to better and faster results — and at a cheaper cost overall — than if you were to task an ill-prepared employee with the project.

Outsourcing allows employers to seek out candidates from around the world, as opposed to hiring only local candidates. This means business owners no longer have to worry about finding the right candidate from their local talent pool; they can connect with the right worker for their needs online, regardless of where they’re located.

When you’re deciding what to outsource, consider where your business is lacking expertise.

Things to be cautious about

Although there are many benefits of outsourcing, small business owners should also consider some of its potential disadvantages, which could negatively impact the business if unaddressed.

Lack of control

Outsourcing requires a small business owner to relinquish some control to the contracted worker, as they are not working in the office or part of the employer’s team where they can be more closely monitored and have their mistakes promptly addressed. While you can explain to the worker the kind of tasks you need them to perform, when and how they handle the task is up to them, as long as they ultimately fulfill what you contracted them to accomplish. A business owner may find that tasks are completed in a different way than they are accustomed to, which can lead to bigger, more long-term problems if not handled.

Communication issues

Because an outsourced worker isn’t a part of your staff, it can be harder to communicate with them — and a lack of communication can often lead to problems for businesses. Therefore, it’s important to find someone who is reliable, easy to get a hold of, and has a stable internet connection if you plan to outsource.

Companies should also consider that communication may be challenging based on where the outsourced worker is located. If they are in a different time zone than the one your company operates in, or if they prefer different communication methods than you’re used to, you could run into delays in communication or have difficulty reaching them in times of emergency.

Quality issues

When you hire somebody outside of your business — who isn’t immersed enough to understand your company culture or expectations, and who doesn't hold much stake in your business — you run the risk of receiving lower-quality work, which can negatively affect your business’s reputation with clients or customers. Therefore, business owners shouldn't consider outsourcing if they aren’t willing to spend time finding the right candidate for the role and closely managing and reviewing the work they complete.

Finding a reliable outsourcing company

Making the time to find the right outsourcing company can be difficult. Every outsourcing company operates in different ways — and not all can take on new clients — so it’s important to find a partner who works with your business’s specific needs, respects your intellectual property, takes direction, is easy to communicate with, and delivers a quality product on time and in your price range. Otherwise, the partnership could wind up wasting money and negatively impact your business’s revenue, reputation, and customer relationships.

Know when to outsource

Many entrepreneurs would prefer not to spend resources on tasks they can handle themselves. However, it’s important to consider outsourcing if your business isn’t equipped to handle the project independently (and could benefit financially by outsourcing it) or if your daily responsibilities have hindered your ability to focus on the business’s growth.

Keep in mind the financial impact of outsourcing and ensure that you can afford to pay an agency for its services; however, remember that outsourcing provides the flexibility to experiment, so you can change agencies or workers who aren’t the right fit for your business.

Consider what to outsource and what to keep in-house

According to the U.S. Small Business Administration , accounting services are some of the most commonly outsourced roles, as improperly handled financials can lead to issues, such as penalties from the IRS. Other commonly outsourced services include marketing, customer support, human resources, shipping, web design, manufacturing, and payroll, among other areas.

When you’re deciding what to outsource, consider where your business is lacking expertise. For example, if your team doesn’t have anybody familiar with the latest social media trends, consider outsourcing your social media marketing to a third party. However, if a task can be properly handled by somebody in-house without burden or if the task is a high priority or involves confidential information, it’s best to keep the project internal.

How to choose the right outsourcing partner

Finding a fitting partner whose values align with your business is essential to a successful outsourcing experience, and it’s important to nurture the relationship to ensure a long, fruitful partnership.

Look for a company with experience by asking for references and proof of a positive history. They should be able to provide names and introduce you to satisfied clients who have worked with them for an extended period. Also, ensure the quality of the contractors it works with to ensure the work produced will be up to your standards. Consider making on-site visits to outsourcing companies you’re considering to learn more about their infrastructure and how they operate.

• Enabling focus on core business (57%);
• Solving capacity issues (47%);
• Improving service quality (31%);
• Meeting business needs (28%).

2. The global outsourcing market was worth $92.5 billion in 2019.

Outsourcing statistics by year show that in 2019, the value of global outsourcing services reached $92.5 billion. Compared to 2018, the market grew by just over 8%. Still, the value of outsourcing services provided around the world remains far from the 2014 record of $104.6 billion.

3. India is the top global outsourcing destination.

Outsourcing statistics by country put India on top of the list of global outsourcing providers, with much of the industry being concentrated in the cities of Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi. The global top 5 of BPO destinations is rounded up by China, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brazil.

4. Outsourcing accounts for 10% of the Philippines’ economy.

Offshoring customer service is standard practice for thousands of businesses around the world. Stats on outsourcing show India has always been the leading market for call centers.

For the past five years, however, the Philippines has been strengthening its foothold in the game, as outsourcing has become one of the major contributors to this country’s economy. According to estimates, the country’s BPO industry employs over 1.2 million people.

5. 37% of small businesses outsource at least part of their business processes.

Over a third of small businesses use outsourcing, according to a 2019 study by Clutch. 52% of participants in the outsourcing survey plan on contracting out a business process in the near future. The small business outsourcing statistics are based on the answers of 529 market players.

6. 37% of businesses that outsource list accounting as one of their outsourced processes.

9. 80% of companies aren’t planning on outsourcing any sales or marketing jobs.

There are some positions that organizations tend to avoid outsourcing. Sales and marketing are two of them. Strategic planning is also among the activities that 89% of businesses would not consider entrusting to external vendors.

10. Over 1 million outsourced jobs are in danger due to automation.

All previous job outsourcing statistics could be overshadowed by a new development in the industry: repetitive and/or low-skilled jobs that have been outsourced are now at risk due to automation. Estimates show that, in the next five years, automation could ax some 1 million jobs in the US, Poland, India, and the Philippines.

11. The global HR outsourcing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.69% until 2022.

Despite the previous stat, HR outsourcing statistics are showing no signs of slowing down. Since 2018, the industry has been expanding steadily at a compound annual growth rate of 8.69%. The trend is expected to continue at least until 2022.

12. 93% of companies have adopted cloud services to optimize outsourcing.

In order to streamline their outsourcing efforts, 93% of organizations have either adopted or are considering adopting cloud-based solutions.

This is why 68% of these organizations cite security as their primary concern.

13. More than 84% of outsourcing deals come from the US.

The US is responsible for the lion’s share of outsourcing deals. The country alone accounts for 84.2% of the $92.5 billion spent on BPO services globally. On a regional level, North and South America attract 42% of overseas outsourcing buyers.

Europe, the Middle East, and Africa together account for 35% of deals in the industry, while Asia and Oceania hold a 23% share.

14. Every year, US businesses outsource about 300,000 jobs.

These offshore outsourcing statistics give a clear indication of the scale of BPO. In 2015 alone, US foreign affiliates hired 14.3 million workers overseas. If those outsourced jobs stayed in the US, they would be enough to hire the 5.9 unemployed Americans, plus 4.3 million of those who are working part-time and want to switch to a full-time position.

15. 29% of US businesses with less than 50 workers outsource.

Outsourcing in the USA is much less common among businesses that have 50 or fewer employees. Just 29% of them outsource. Companies that employ more than 50 workers, on the other hand, are much keener to take some of their work outside: outsourcing statistics show that 66% of them do so.

16. 71% of Americans think that outsourcing harms the US economy.

While organizations across the world enjoy the benefits of outsourcing, most members of the US population agree that it is harming the economy. 71% of Americans think that outsourcing has a negative impact, and 62% want the government to ban it altogether.

17. California has lost 654,000 jobs to China since 2001.

Jobs lost to outsourcing statistics show that, between 2001 and 2018, California lost 654,000 jobs to China. Texas is next on the list with 335,000 displaced jobs, followed by New York with 185,100 lost workplaces. Directly or indirectly, China is responsible for the loss of 3.7 million jobs in the US.

What is global outsourcing?

Global outsourcing is a business practice where a company decides to task a third party with dealing with some of its services or job functions. Companies can decide to outsource a small part of their operations (for example, QA testing), or their entire divisions (for example, IT).

Depending on where it takes place, outsourcing can be onshore (within the country), nearshore (to a nearby country), or offshore (to a remote country).

How big is the outsourcing industry?

The outsourcing market saw $92.5 billion worth of services during 2019, growing at a significant annual rate of 8%. However, the outsourcing industry reached its peak in 2014, when the world spent a total of $104.6 billion on BPO services.

What are the advantages of outsourcing?

Companies that outsource do so mainly as a cost-cutting effort. Around 59% of businesses that outsource say saving money is one of the reasons behind their decision. Reducing spendings on labor, operation, and overhead is, arguably, the biggest benefit of BPO. Other advantages include improved efficiency, freeing up internal resources, and mitigating risks by sharing difficult tasks.

What are the negative effects of outsourcing?

International outsourcing doesn’t come without risks and negative sides. The danger of losing sensitive data is always there when you work with third parties. Lack of quality control is also a common fear shared by businesses that outsource. 

What are the most outsourced jobs?

Accounting-related and IT jobs are the most outsourced ones, with 37% of businesses that outsource listing them as one of the operations that they contract out. Digital marketing jobs are outsourced by 34% of these businesses, followed by development-related activities (28%), and HR (24%). The list of jobs that can be outsourced is virtually endless.

Which countries outsource the most?

Outsourcing research shows that India, China, and Malaysia are the biggest outsourcing destinations in the world. The country that outsources the most is the US, where more than 84% of all BPO deals are made. The UK is at the other end, accounting for around 5% of the deals.

How many US jobs have been outsourced?

In order to find the appropriate workforce or cut costs, US businesses have outsourced 14.3 million jobs. If these jobs had stayed within the country, they would have been more than enough to cover local unemployment: there are currently 5.9 million jobless people in America, as well as 4.3 million part-time workers who want to transition into full-time work.

How many jobs are outsourced to India?

As mentioned above, India is the largest market for businesses looking to outsource. Even though the exact number of BPO jobs in India is not available, we can expect it to keep growing, as the cost of local labor remains far lower than the average global standards.

Outsourcing is an excellent way to reduce the costs of running a business. It is also a smart lever to improve efficiency by freeing up internal resources and mitigating risk. However, it does come with some negative sides. Should you outsource or you should rather count on your own staff to deal with all or some of your non-core operations? The decision is up to you. Take your time to carefully tick all the pros and cons. Consult the experts, do your numbers, and feel free to use our list of outsourcing statistics as a guide.

What Is Outsourcing?

Why do companies outsource jobs, how outsourcing can hurt a business, economic impact of outsourcing, is outsourcing bad for the economy, frequently asked questions (faqs).

GCShutter / Getty Images

Outsourcing occurs when an organization contracts some of its functions to another organization. For example, a company may decide that it will be more efficient to hire IT developers from another firm than to bring them on as employees. The work may be outsourced to a company in the same country (sometimes called “onshoring”) or to a company in another country (sometimes called “offshoring”).

Outsourcing has economic effects, both good and bad. Find out more about how outsourcing works, why companies do it, and its impact on jobs in the U.S.

Key Takeaways

• Outsourcing involves contracting a business process to another organization.
• The organization that receives the work may be in the same country or in another one.
• Outsourcing can help save money and give an organization access to skills that it doesn’t have.

When an organization hires another organization to do some of its business processes, it is outsourcing. Services that are outsourced may include bookkeeping , customer service, programming, marketing, or cleaning.

In theory, any function of a business can be passed to an outside contractor rather than done in-house by employees.

Some companies outsource a small project to an independent contractor. Others may hire a major firm to handle all of their customer support functions. As technology improves and new businesses emerge, more and more of a company’s operations can be done outside the organization.

Outsourcing to an organization in another country is often called offshoring. If the operation is kept in the same country, it is sometimes referred to as onshoring. Both have potential economic benefits as well as potential problems.

Companies outsource functions for all sorts of reasons. Among them are:

• Cost : it is often less expensive to outsource an activity than it is to hire people to do the job. This is especially the case if the work can be outsourced to a part of the country with a lower average wage or to another country with a significantly lower pay rate.
• Access to skills : One reason a business might outsource is to gain access to skills and services that it might not be able to obtain otherwise. For example, a small business might not be able to afford keeping a high-end graphic designer on staff, but it can afford to contract one just to design a logo. Many businesses have found they can find higher-level programming, bookkeeping, or human resources skills by outsourcing than if they hired in-house.
• Manufacturing capabilities : Many companies are great at designing and marketing products, but they don’t have the ability to manufacture them. To get the goods, they contract the manufacturing work out to a company that does production.
• Taking advantage of time zones : Many businesses have found they can get more work done in less time by outsourcing it to people in different time zones. A U.S. company can offer 24-hour customer service by outsourcing to call centers in India and the Philippines, for instance. A Swedish investment bank can turn reports around faster if it has freelance editors in the U.S. work on them while Europe is asleep.

Outsourcing can be a good solution for many businesses, but it’s not right for all of them. Even if it is approached carefully, it can cause problems. For example:

• Lack of control : When you outsource a project or a process to someone else, they might not think it’s as important as you do, or they may not do it the way you want it done. However, the final outcome may be what you want. Some managers are more comfortable giving up control than others.
• Loss of knowledge : This cuts both ways. The organization that takes over your process does not understand your organization and culture as much as an employee on staff does. This may make it harder for the work to meet expectations.

Your staff forfeits expertise in the area that is being outsourced. Your company may lose skills and knowledge by turning the work over to someone else.

• Customer problems : Your customers don’t care if work has been outsourced or if it is being done by your employees. They only care about whether their expectations are met. Language problems, culture clashes, or outsourced work that doesn’t meet consumers’ standards can lead to unhappy or lost customers.

Outsourcing has economic effects, good and bad. It has the greatest impact on jobs and prices. In general, it leads to less employment and lower prices in the business’s home country, but not always.

Job Impacts

When it comes to employment, outsourcing moves jobs around. Work moves from employees to contractors and from high-cost areas to low-cost areas. This can benefit someone who wants to be self-employed and hurt someone who would prefer employment, just as it leads to job loss in the high-cost area and gains in the low-cost one. Average wages across the economy fall slightly. In the manufacturing sector, it’s estimated that offshoring has led to the loss of nearly 5 million American jobs since 1997. Globally, employment is the same.

Price Impacts

In general, outsourcing leads to lower prices , because the work generally moves to those who earn less. However, some costs may increase. Independent contractors doing specialized work may charge more than an employee would because they are not receiving benefits. Transportation costs and supply-chain disruption may lead to higher prices from offshore manufacturing over time. Eventually, skilled workers even in lower-cost countries will demand higher wages as the demand for their labor grows.

On a net basis, outsourcing is good for the economy. It lets more people concentrate on what they do best and lowers prices for consumers. However, some people benefit from it more than others.

What is the difference between outsourcing and offshoring?

Outsourcing is the process of turning business functions over to an outside organization. If the organization is in another country, then it is known as offshoring.

When did outsourcing begin?

Businesses have long hired outside contractors for certain functions. Outsourcing was first identified as a distinct strategy in 1989, and it grew in popularity as the internet made it easier to do work remotely .

Outsourcing Services to USA

Outsourcing is a hot topic in the USA today. Even with millions of jobs being outsourced, and cost savings amounting to billions of dollars, there is still no clear outcome on whether outsourcing has been accepted by the general populace or not. Till date, outsourcing is a frightening proposition to many people. But still, its overall effect on the American economy cannot be ignored.

Outsourcing has enabled organizations across both public and private sectors to achieve their business objectives faster and focus on their core competencies while mitigating business risks and adding value to their offerings. The global market size of outsourced services touched 104.6 billion US dollars in 2014, with the US accounting for almost 60% of the outsourced services.

With the number of employers joining the outsourcing bandwagon by the day, Asian countries, and especially India, have seen their economies soar because of the value proposition they offer. 59% of the world's employers now employ Indian workers, and 22% of the US companies who have never outsourced before say they have plans to move at least some segments of their business offshore to India.

Benefits of Hiring a Project Outsourcing Company

It’s always best to leave tasks to those who know and do it the best!

Project outsourcing companies specialize in what they mention and businesses can completely rely on them when it comes to tasks. 

With a project sourcing company like Rio Business Solutions, you get to work with people who have been helping with business process outsourcing projects for years! 

Businesses have work. Sometimes, it’s work that they couldn’t handle. Sometimes, it’s work that is the topmost priority beyond all and it is at these times that a project outsourcing company could really come in handy. 

All you have to do is, send your requirement to a project outsourcing company and let them take care of the rest.

When you’re hiring a project outsourcing company, there’s no need for you to hire employees in-house!

Since the project outsourcing company is taking care of things, you don’t have to be worried about this!

This not only saves you time and effort but also helps you cut huge costs also, you never know whether you’re hiring the right employee or not for a couple of months.

That’s precious money you’re shelling out and some moments on the clock!

Flexibility is another great benefit that a project outsourcing company can offer you.

You can change the requirements and guidelines of your project and how it is worked any time you want Because the market is competitive out there and you need to make changes accordingly!

One thing on which project sourcing companies specialize is in delivering on deadlines.

Most project sourcing companies treat timely deliveries as an important trait but again, as we said, it all depends on the business process outsourcing company you choose to go with!

Once you make the deadlines and commitments clear enough during the start, the project outsourcing company gets it done on time!
