What is Outsourcing?
Outsourcing is the process in which a firm identifies a portion of
your business process could be performed more efficiently
and / or more effectively by another corporation, which is contracted
to develop that portion of business. This frees the first organization to focus on the central part or function of your business.
That is, the outsoucing is that a company hires, an agency
or specialized outside firm to do something that does not specialize.
A good example is the payroll. Every business has to manage, but
There are specialized firms that can do better and cost less than
anyone who runs a business. The contracting company provides information
basic about its staff, the firm hired is responsible for calculating
payments and making checks. This is cheaper and
avoiding having an entire department responsible for payroll, pay
Wages of people in the department, running costs such as security
social, pension funds, etc. Another example is the computer,
these can be rented, along with its maintenance, repair and upgrade
thus avoiding unnecessary costs of personnel and equipment renovation
for example.
Almost everything can be hired under outsourcing, the rule is to compare
costs of what is going to contract with the costs of doing it ourselves,
in many cases it is best to hire, but many do not. Before
outsourcing should be analyzed while a number of areas, including:
- Costs.
- The background, references and experience of the firm to be hired.
- Learn as much as possible, the concept of another company that has undertaken outsourcing
in the area that we hire.
- Establish the importance of the area or function that we
contract, if deemed of vital importance to our company must not
her into outsourcing.
The basic and most important is to not give in outsourcing
any functions or areas which we consider fundamental
in our company. Microsoft will never outsource programming
and development of software, that is their fundamental work, but if you will with the cleaning service for example.
Make outsourcing is good, but do it lightly, can result
high costs and business disruptions. Another factor to consider
has to do with the legal part of the contract, make clear the conditions
and sanctions in case of default by the contractor firm.
Outsourcing has a lot of subcontracting, but not only
It is therefore rather to establish alliances with partner firms that will our fundamental tasks more efficient
