The ACCESS Precept: Road Map to Outsourcing Success

摘要

Outsourcing can be a company's best friend or its worst enemy! While there are tactical considerations, the decision to outsource is always strategic and must make sense in and of itself. That being said, if it is unable to stand on its own merits, outsourcing can and will be a destructive force. If properly applied, however, outsourcing can be a stimulant for strategic company growth and long-term health. Like any other strategic initiative, outsourcing must be carefully weighed both in terms of financial return and capability to implement. This requires sound assessment at the front end based in deep understanding of existing company business process and functions, as well as resulting benefits and costs. The assessment phase of an outsourcing decision demands an open view, disciplined by fact.
