Today, outsourcing basically refers to delegating an internal business function to an outside provider. Most entrepreneurs set up up their business and do most of the work themselves, taking on the responsibility for marketing, sales, technology, and other components of the business. As the business develops and they decide they can’t handle all the tasks, they engage someone to do the non-core work.

It all depends on what the company does and its long term needs. For example, if a company has an IT department build in, why would it go after it outsourcing?

Before deciding to outsource, it is important to define what specific goals are to be met.
Some of the factors before outsourcing are:

• Lower costs
• Skilled expertise
• Focus on core competencies
• Increased productivity and efficiency
• Better people management

Every business venture carries a certain amount of risk. Markets, competition, government regulations, financial conditions, and technologies all vary very quickly.
