Some of the greatest business minds are proponents of outsourcing - but is it right for your business? Outsourcing business processes to a third-party provider can yield so much more than savings - if done properly. Yes, there are risks. However, with careful planning, they can be mitigated
Let’s look at some of the benefits:
- Investment: Cost savings can be used to invest capital into your core business.
- Larger labor pool, lower labor costs: Lower labor costs is just one benefit of outsourcing labor. Your company gains access to a larger labor pool and increased geography allows broader staffing coverage.
- Expertise: You have advisors with experience and insight that may not be available on staff.
- Facilities and technology: In addition to expertise, your business gains access to facilities and technology that may not be affordable otherwise.
- More agile, more competitive: The additional resources allow your business to quickly adapt to changing market conditions.
Now let’s consider some potential risks and how to mitigate them:
- Total cost: Costs go beyond what the outsourcer is paid. Plan for travel expense, demand on staff time, and impacts to other internal resources. Some factors may not be easy to calculate but they must be acknowledged.
