outsourcing

outsourcing
Gen Mgt
the transfer of the provision of services previously performed by in-house personnel to an external organization, usually under a contract with agreed standards, costs, and conditions. Areas traditionally outsourced include legal services, transport, catering, and security. An increasing variety of activities, including IT services, training, and public relations are now being outsourced. Outsourcing, or contracting out, is often introduced with the goal of increasing efficiency and reducing costs, or to enable the organization to develop greater flexibility or to concentrate on core business activities. The term subcontracting is sometimes used to refer to outsourcing.
