Many companies are complacent that after outsourcing deals, all they have to do is relax and reap the benefits of outsourcing. This is a very BIG misconception.

Outsourcing as I've mentioned is not a miracle worker. It needs additional work in order to work perfectly. In this article entitled Trade secrets: outsourcing - after the deal, it explains the different factors that companies should consider after signing that outsourcing deal. The article specifically emphasized on hr outsourcing but this is also applicable in any type of outsourcing.

Here are some factors which was mentioned in the said article:

Maintain continuity
Build supplier management skills
Measure what matters
Fragmented career paths

These things should be checked even after you are done with the outsourcing deal and should continue to do so after reaping the results.
