The biggest advantage of off shore outsourcing is the quality work at a low price.

Some Common and Important Reason for Outsourcing.

Lower costs due to economies of scale
• Ability to concentrate on core functions
• Greater flexility and ability to define the requisite service more readily
• Specific supplier benefits. For example, better security, continuity, etc.
• Higher quality service due to focus of the supplier
• Improved internal management disciplines resulting from the exercise itself
• Less dependency upon internal resources
• Control of budget
• Faster setup of the function or service
• Lower ongoing investment required in internal infrastructure
• Greater ability to control delivery dates (eg: via penalty clauses)
• Lack of internal expertise
• Increase flexibility to meet changing business conditions
• Purchase of industry best practise
• Improve risk management
• Acquire innovative ideas
• Increase commitment and energy in non core areas
• Improve credibility and image by associating with superior providers
• Generate cash by transferring assets to the provider
• Gain market access and business opportunities through the supplier’s network
• Turn fixed costs into variable costs
