Colorful Future of IT Outsourcing

Although in the past decade or so, outsourcing has been one of the major topics of debate, the present or future of it hasn’t really been determined. As a number of companies are opting for outsourcing of their IT, human resource and back office support departments, the chances are that the future of outsourcing is going to be colorful. But is there really a rainbow in the sky? With the ongoing war between Obama and Romney regarding the “stealing of American jobs” and “made in America” stuff, are things going to get any darker or any greener out there?

If there is one thing that is pretty much confirmed, it is that outsourcing is pretty much becoming a need of the businesses of the day. Specially, companies are outsourcing their back office support rapidly to get all the burden of their heads. Back office tasks are the roots of a business; however they do not support its advancement or progress while taking up a lot of time. Businesses tend to outsource these tasks for the sake of getting rid of all the unwanted tension and putting more emphasis on core activities that will lead to the success of the company.

Apart from that, according to a number of studies, analysts are of the view that majority of the companies that outsourced in the past think good of it and are of the opinion that they would like to outsource again. With all these silver linings, it doesn’t really seem “natural” enough to believe that outsourcing is just going to fade away like it never existed. In fact, it seems that this rainbow is going to spread further on the blue skies, might even turn into two rainbows in the future! So what is the future of outsourcing; colorful or black and white? You can decide!
