THE LATEST IN OUTSOURCING


The composites world wrote about one supposed evil in outsourcing in the airline industry which is the loss of design expertise. According to the article, the global sourcing of aircraft parts resulted to lower production costs but made the communication between the builders and designers very impersonal. If I may ask, would they rather make the process expensive by bringing back the old system or shall they move forward and implement remedial measures? Just asking.

For the meantime, India is gearing up to take on another variant of outsourcing which is Legal Process Outsourcing that is comprised of legal transcription, coding, document management, research, due diligence, contract drafting, proofreading, intellectual property services, etc.

And while Informationweek suggests a bleak outsourcing future based on data that they the author himself admits need further research, the Russian outsourcing Industry released figures that suggests massive growth until 2011. This is in addition to the boom in the construction of additional BPO facilities in India, Philippines and other favorite outsourcing destinations.
