The Dilemma: Outsourcing Type

Filed in archive Outsourcing Issues on December 30, 2006

There are different outsourcing models for companies and each company needs to find one which would suit them.

Complete outsourcing was considered as the most popular type of outsourcing since the year 2005 and continued in the year 2006. Though that is the case, a recent study revealed that almost 75% of companies had negative experiences with their outsourcing projects. This could be the reason why complete outsourcing deals are now closing in.

Old model out, new model in.

Now that complete outsourcing is out, another type seems to gaining popularity and it is selective outsourcing. In selective outsourcing, companies would have the chance to choose from outsourcing providers which are considered as "experts" in their selective fields.
