The Thinking Man's Outsourcing

The Thinking Man's Outsourcing

Inc.com: Outsourcing began with the shift of manufacturing, call centers,
tech support and "brute-strength" programming being shipped to the lowest
offshore bidder, with higher level jobs such as product design, engineering and
R&D staying onshore. That's changing as companies look to achieve faster
time-to-market on product design while still seeing lower costs. This article
offers a number of knowledge outsourcing success stories. One company found that
there were no U.S. companies willing to put its project on the fast track. It
teamed with a global company that uses offshoring to bring products to market
quickly. Not only was the timing right, but the costs were too, as offshoring
slashed the project's startup costs by half. According to the article, many
companies are using offshoring merely to stay competitive. One expert says:
"There are three reasons to outsource. One is cost reduction. Two is growth.
Three is existence."
