Every business benefits hugely through outsourcing because technology is changing so fast, it has to be leveraged and used to the maximum to deliver competitive advantage to a company.
Q 05 What are the implications involved in outsourcing? How do I manage outsourcing relationships?
Ans : Surveys and studies have proven that more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies outsource a certain part of their operations. In the face of such clear indicators, why would some organizations hesitate to outsource? The answer could lie in the bad experiences with previous outsourcing attempts. There are many issues that need to be addressed before choosing an outsourcing partner. Moreover, once the developer or service provider is selected, it is not enough to just sit on one's heels and assume that the outsourced projects would just work fine. Understanding outsourcing relationships is primary to the success of a project.
