Why do companies outsource?

1. Outsourcing is good for business

Outsourcing can be beneficial at a range of points during the production process. A company may choose to

outsource manufacturing, assembly, design, maintenance, or even software development, like WhatsApp.

When the instant messaging app launched in 2012, it outsourced to developers from Russia. The project

was clearly a success, as two years later, Facebook bought the company for $19 million.

Contracting out services or having your parts manufactured elsewhere can be especially helpful for growing

companies. This is as they frequently have needs that are subject to quick change. Additionally, this may

mean that smaller enterprises do not need to make any initial investments in costly equipment. Therefore, it

is advantageous for them.

2. Stay focused

In most cases, being a "jack of all trades" indicates that you are not a "master of any trade." Taking on work

that is outside your expertise can be an interruption to the company's purpose. Therefore, distracting from the

central company mission. Focusing the business within your specific area of expertise means you have more

resources available for what matters.

For instance, automotive brands usually will focus on the vehicle’s design and assembly. Meanwhile, they will

outsource parts in which they lack expertise. Continental is a leading global automotive supplier. They are responsible

for manufacturing the brake systems, tyres, and roller bearings for a large proportion of the world's car industry.

3. Lower Costs

Another advantage of outsourcing is that it enables a company to reduce the amount of money it spends on

overheads. It can mean for fewer purchases of machinery, reduce maintenance costs, and lower utility bills. Getting

rid of machinery that is no longer needed also gives you the opportunity to free up space in your facility. Alternately,

you may use this room to concentrate on expanding the scope of the company.

Although Adobe may be keen to manufacture its own processors, it doesn’t put outsourcing to shame. The real skill is

knowing which aspects of the production process should be outsourced and when to do so. The financial benefits for

your company could be substantial.
