Trends with Future of Outsourcing

- Rising material cost, transportation cost, labor cost and oil cost will force companies to explore outsourcing in order to keep their operating cost low.
- Critical services of the business was always considered a threat to outsourcing, but trend is changing. Not only IT, but more high-end business functions like finance, process and HR will be outsourced as well in next decade. Yet again, collaboration is winners’ formula.
- Rising price of oil, will force companies to leverage technology more and outsource the repetitive nature of work and focus only on value added functions to remain profitable.
On top of everything, when organization is only focused on their key function areas, they become more specialised and have flexibility to try new and innovative ways to become better and take the competitive advantage. At the same time, when market expands and work demands more, it is easy to focus on expand in the core since collaborative partners are taking care of the rest.
