Avoiding Outsourcing Pitfalls

Avoiding Outsourcing Pitfalls

It is never an easy decision to outsource any part of your operation. Letting go of

control of any of your departments is difficult; it’s daunting and can be

uncomfortable (the feeling of losing control).

Members of management and staff will always be reluctant to let part of your

activity go and outsource overseas because it means this daunting feeling plus

distance. However, the right partner will help your company grow.

Avoiding Outsourcing Pitfalls

In order to feel more confident it's important to look at past case studies and

spot problems related to:

Poor communication with vendor

Actual costs exceeding contracted costs

Poor project management

Poor quality and delays of delivered product

Lack of appropriate resources and infrastructure of outsourcing company.

Or even better, pick up the phone and call any of your prospective outsourcing

company's clients and asks them about the concerns listed above.
