Selective Outsourcing
I recently mentioned the different trends in the outsourcing trends which seems to shape the future of the outsourcing industry. This trend also includes the concept of "selective outsourcing".
Selective Outsourcing should be considered an art because making a masterpiece is not that easy. A masterpiece in this case pertains to a successful deal that companies make through making a strategic plan when outsourcing.
In recent interview, Tom Miller, senior director of IT at FoxHollow Technologies revealed that when they practice "selective outsourcing". their driving force is not cost-saving. Their main drive when outsourcing are skills. Aside from that, most of the outsourced functions are security-related ones.
This kind of approach in outsourcing helps companies in maintaining control over their functions even if these are non-core ones. This approach also reflects a smarter way to handle outsourcing which would benefit the company as well as the outsourcing providers.
