It is a tool that enables management of a company have a clearer focus on the needs of its customers. The reason why many companies turn to out-sourcing is because they feel they waste time and resources on activities that can be delegated to third parties. In short, the out-sourcing enables an organization to accelerate its growth and success by investing in areas where there is a clear competitive advantage.

2. Access to world-class experience. For the simple nature of their expertise, an outside expert with a level to meet the requirements of its customers.

-In most cases, the provider has extensive experience in a certain area gained through the years and a unique knowledge of the market for a company is difficult to achieve by simple training or hiring of personnel.

3. Accelerate the benefits of re-engineering. The out-sourcing is generally a byproduct of another powerful management tool: the re-engineering. This is because it allows an organization to immediately make the changes involved in restructuring, by having an outside company (or individual specialist) to take charge of a particular process.

4. Risk Division. There are many risks associated with dramatic investment made by an organization. When companies resort to out-sourcing, become more flexible, dynamic and are more apt to change. Remember that markets, competition, government regulations, financial conditions and technologies change very fast. The out-sourcing is therefore an ideal vehicle to share these risks, since the providers make investments, not so much in favor of a single company, but for his many other clients.

Reduction and cost control. The simplest (and most important) reason to resort to out-sourcing is the reduction of operational costs. Having access to the low costs of external supplier (a result of economies of scale or other advantages based on specialization) is clearly one of the strongest reasons for adopting the out-sourcing. In addition, many companies trying to do everything themselves, incur expenditure on research, development or marketing very high, which the consumer of today is not willing to accept.9. Resources are not available. Many companies resort to out-sourcing because they lack access to resources within your organization. For example, if an organization is expanding its operations specifically to a new city or country. The out-sourcing is a viable alternative to having the necessary capacity at the beginning of its operation elsewhere.10. Functions that are out of control. The out-sourcing is an interesting option to cover activities that are difficult to manage or are out of control of the direction of a company.

When a function or process is perceived as “difficult to manage” or “out of control”, the organization needs to examine the causes. For example, the reason is that the requirements, expectations and the resources are not known perfectly, the out-sourcing will not improve the situation, in fact, perhaps the empeorare.
