The Edges of Outsourcing Worldwide

By: Maria Johnsen



There are a number of benefits to outsourcing your business needs to the world market place. The foremost common benefit is the cost savings. An example of this can be when Nike moved a majority of its manufacturing to third world countries like India, China, and Bangladesh. With a low cost of labor in these countries, the profits of Nike went up.

Ever since the Y2K scare at the turn of the century, more and more companies outsource their IT desires overseas. For smaller companies with small needs, a freelance IT employee can handle the load, while larger companies have enlisted the help of BPOs in countries like India and the Philippines.

Because of this need for low cost and to help protect themselves from computer failure scares, many companies have searched and found freelancers around the world to help with their IT business needs. An unforeseen benefit came when a country or part of the world had their web connection cut off. There were still freelancers in other parts of the world that were still available. This happened a few years ago when an underwater cable was broken. This happened in the Middle East 2 years ago. Three cables were broken in 3 days. Then again, it happened in Cape Verde simply this last December that disrupted telephone and internet connections for 15 days. Freelancers from other parts of the world crammed in the needs of firms that were relying on these places.

By outsourcing your work to freelancers, you company will have the benefit of decentralizing their operations. This way, no one event whether or not natural or manmade will cut you off from the rest of the world. There will always be a connection.

The cost benefits go deeper than simply having to pay these freelancers less. They are already trained experts. This cost reduction in mandatory OSHA training of employees, loss of man hours because of sick leave and or maternity leave, and administration cost of managing their benefits and vacations can add up to considerable savings.

Freelancers know that they will only be judged by what type of work they produce. For this reason, the best work in the world is produced by freelance artist. They know they are only as good as their last project that was completed properly. This constant strive to provide high quality work on a consistent basis could be a huge benefit to the companies that have outsourced their work.

When you have decided to outsource your work to freelancing professionals, you get to choose who is going to perform that task. There's no politics or in-office squabbling, just assignments made and work completed. Only you as the outsource manager of your company can know the different freelance workers you have employed. The freelancers can usually know there are others, but not know exactly who they are. This blind competition helps to maintain a high level of quality work.

By utilizing freelancing networks like Globfreelance.com, your company can save a considerable amount that will all be translated into higher profits. This is the future of business in the global economy.
