Some people are not aware that there are different types of outsourcing. They just assume that every job transferred to these outsourcing destinations could be lumped in one group.

This assumption is wrong because there are several types of outsourcing and these are grouped based on its nature and function. Since there is an increase rate of companies preferring the "multi-sourcing" approach, the types of outsourcing are more clearly defined.

This blog entry serves as a primer for the types of outsourcing which I would be writing in my next blogging entries. This is to help you in deciding which kind of outsourcing would be beneficial and convenient for your companies.
