    Not.
    Its depend on the company needs.
    Outsource working quality is hard to judge.
    And the most important thing is outsource is not the way for long term company shortage of staff solution.

    UK Government has saved more then £ 12 Billion and this year they are aiming even higher around £ 18 Billion save ... that proves the rest, that how long term outsourcing can be and how beneficial it is for companies even to government and public bodies.

    Both saving on costs and preserving the quality service is covered with outsourcing - provided that entrepreneurs have been working with the right outsourcing firms in place. Philippines is being well known nowadays as being one of these new outsourcing havens supporting Western and other global companies in their business solutions because of their low rates (considering low conversions) but the quality of the workforce still remains. From experience, I'm working with Filipino virtual assistants until now to utilize my web development and administration and so far so good! :)

    Also, here's one inspirational post too that I follow. It's from Tyrone Shum (who also outsources to the Philippines and now an outsourcing expert) and in this video, he shows how it's beneficial to outsource to the Philippines that'll leverage businesses. It's a good story indeed and here's for everyone to see:

    Indeed, Outsourcing could be your best or worst choice. But for me, I'm proud that I've made this good decision. :)

    Thanks for sharing your thoughts Noadhdeck, Indeed every decision is Good if you can manage it, and is bad if you cant control it. You cant blame outsourcing to be bad, you just need to have 100% control over your resources, and you can also by pass that if you really find a good outsource service provider.

    We've generally avoided outsourcing, as there are clearly some risks involved.

    It seems to me that you need to have a lot of confidence in who you are dealing with.

    BlueSky,
    Totally agree with you that there is a un-ignorable factor of risk involved in Outsourcing and yes finding a good team is really difficult in this dense outsourcers.
    But When you are saving something, you need to pay a cost of it, and the cost is in form of extra monitoring and due diligence and that for the first time only. Start with outsourcing your small business operations and processes, and once you think that the outsourcing company is reasonable, then you can always go for big projects. Thats how we've been developing. Our first project for the client worth $ 125 only. And after a year are are ready to sign a contract of $ 25,000. This all comes with experience and a reliable business partner.

    The most Obvious benefit of Outsourcing is that it lessens the cost of bussiness, increase productivity and increase profitibilty. Outsorcing is a big source of adverstising your bussiness in other countries.

    I think it's the worst solution you can go with. You pay what you get for; there is no cheap labor. If workers in China are producing cheap products that's very likely because they have bad working conditions or of the high unemployment rates. As things go better, they will increase both quality and price. So don't expect the same quality with the half price.

    My business structure involves 3 outsourcers. It take time to find the right people to put in place and train them on what you need them to do. But overall all I think if you want to compete and especially increase your bottom line you will need to outsource some of not all of your processes. The key is having the right system in place and training. You will need to monitor the work but it will free up a lot of your time.

    I actually do a fair amount of outsourcing as it is less expensive than hiring extra employees and paying overtime.

    Right new outsourcing is really getting important as we're moving towards more competitive and cost concerned point of view, but in future its going to be even more critically important. When you need more and more extra resources, with cost cap. So businesses will definitely going to outsource more and more of their work, which from economics point of view will remove unemployment arbitrage in developing and developed countries.

    Outsourcing as in overseas? I don't think so. A lot of companies, specifically in this country, are growing up and realizing that saving more money isn't worth shitty customer service or a complete cultural disconnect by farming everything over.

    I'm just now outsourcing the posting of my articles. I write one article then my staff puts it in a spinner that sends it out to 400 directories. Then it goes on my site, on ezinearticles, then gets bookmarked then gets put up on Web 2.0 sites. Takes me 1 hour to do all that. Someone else will do it for me for $5. That's great when it gets me 200-300 backlinks and some good traffic s well.
