From the supplier: Outsourcing is becoming commonplace in a wide variety of business activities. Outsourcing, or contracting business services from an external provider, is being practiced even in traditionally internal domains such as human resources. Among the motivations for outsourcing are to cut costs, to build skills and competencies, and to reduce business risks. Outsourcing decisions are also influenced by the number of acceptable providers and internal factors such as unpredictable workload and low initial investments associated with high outsourcing levels.
