i agree with @mseebach ... if outsourcing done right can bring a lot of value to a company. it is important to know that not every function can be outsourced. on a high level, tasks which are repetitive can be considered for automation or outsourced.
to me, outsourcing is the easy part, to ensure and measure the quality of service/products delivered from the outsourcing effort is the challenging part. much easy if u r a small startup, but if u r like ibm, it is not easy to determine what to outsource and how to measure the roi of outsourcing.
- stcredzero 16y agoThe problem is often, the company doesn't know how much activities actually cost. Often, balance sheets are political or they're manipulated by sales people to show the P&L numbers they want. They're also unaware of the cost/quality relationship. This is often assumed to be a flat graph.
