The main promise of outsourcing is "savings".
This claim is already irrefutable because we all know that most of the outsourcing companies are located in countries with lower cost of living, cheaper labor, and business operations.
With that, it is technically easy for these companies to price their services significantly low.
However, the amount of money saved from outsourcing is not the only measure of the success of such venture.
There are still employers or businesses out there that may be saving on their labor costs but are suffering from low productivity, as well.
Basically, we can only consider a company successful in their outsourcing venture if they are able to enjoy savings and productivity at the same time - and not all businesses are lucky and strategic enough to enjoy such benefits.
From many years of experience of dealing with various clients managing either self-owned businesses or a department in a company, we have gathered some of the patterns of the successful ones.
First, the most evident among them is that they outsource their tasks to various outsourcing companies.
This is one way of being proactive, a company that always has a back-up ready.
The hiring process alone can already impede too many tasks, so having other back up staff working in a different company is one way of never running out of human resources.
Another practice common among successful outsourcing clients is the patience and effort to monitor.
Although outsourcing basically exists to allow busy businessmen have more time away from work, but some just abuse it and forget that they are running a business still.
The responsibility of an outsourcing company is to manage a specific project, and not an entire business.
This is why managers or employers who take the time to follow-up every project they outsource gets greater opportunity to find areas of improvement, and thus provide their own business with nothing but the best output.
Moreover, a good employer also knows that perfecting a project does not happen in a snap, thus allowing some room for adjustment.
Finally, successful outsourcing clients are those who were able to effectively determine what sort of tasks are the most appropriate to be outsourced.
They know when to take and not to take risks.
More importantly, they were able to partner with a reliable and established outsourcing or offshoring company that is truly dedicated to helping businesses grow.
