4 Introduction What is Outsourcing? In simple terms it is entrusting certain processes and functions to be delivered by an external resource rather than being managed by an internal resource Why do people outsource? Generally because they find an outsource service provider who: they trust, provides scalability and flexibility, is more cost effective as they can drive economies of scale, and who delivers market leading technology and best practice solutions What is the key to outsourcing? The right partner who understands that they are an extension of your business and who consistently demonstrates capability to deliver on time every time

5 Introduction What can be outsourced? Full end-to-end processes or elements of a process. Generally whatever a client deems is appropriate for their business. In respect to Recruitment Agencies, this can be the full Pay, Bill and Credit Control process, Management Accounts and IT.
