Outsourcing: Stepping Stone to Online Office Era
Author: Mike Greaves
With the increasing boom seen in the Information Technology
domain and globalization stepping into every walk of life,
outsourcing is now the staple diet for every professional.
Today, internet has spread its wings to every nook and corner of
the world. From American continents to the Australian Bay area,
the world economy and communication jet age practically lives on
the Web (rather in it.)
Outsourcing is the noticeable phenomenon of off-shoring work to
cheaper work force in other countries, preferably developing
countries, to earn higher ROI. Both the Multi-national companies
as well as the small businesses target cheaper labor across
miles to ensure easy pay.
Outsourcing has witnessed a steady increase in its ratio in the
recent times. On annual basis, we can measure a growth of 11% on
an average for the outsourced work from the Western countries.
Among the identified areas for outsourcing, the major area is
the Asia Pacific region. Among the Asian nations, India is the
world s largest and the most preferred hub for outsourcing. Most
of the western countries consider India as an intellectually
rich but a poor country with respect to the economy.
In the recent past, there was heavy flow of Indian software
gurus and hi-tech professionals traveling to the foreign lands
along with many white-collared geniuses. But today, outsourcing
is giving opportunity to the many IT professionals in India and
other such identified countries to work at their own comfort and
pay.
But, what s the catch? Why is outsourcing growing in leaps and
bounds every year? And how is it spreading to wider networks
across the globe? The reason is simple: Savings. What is all the
more astonishing is the rate at which outsourcing is growing and
helping in the increasing savings for many of the job posters.
The savings has also been on a steady rise of 40% on yearly
basis.
One of the most contributing factors in the growth and
popularity of outsourcing is the rapid explosion of the online
freelance domain. Today, freelance is no more a term used for
writers working as freelancers for media organizations. The IT
sector now boasts of freelancers in every discipline, from
designers to content writers to web developers to Search Engine
Optimization experts and much more. There are many freelance
sites on the Web which are popularizing and aiding the
outsourcing drive. One of the finest and transparent freelance
sites includes Odesk, Elance, and Getafreelancer etc. Out of
these, the most recommended site in terms of transparency and
security is odesk. It is clearly a great tool in the hands of
the service provider as well as the job provider.
Odesk lets the Job poster manage his employees, i.e., his team
and keep a track of their work and proceedings. On the other
hand, it also a great tool for the service providers to manage
their work on timely basis and get payment for genuine work
without much hassle.
