Outsourcing is when one Company is contracting with another
Company to provide services that might be performed by their employees itself
but most of the times it is because of the financial advantages that come from
it. For example Major Companies Outsource their
Call centers, sometimes it is because of the reduction of work space
and mostly it is because of the low expenses or cheap labor.
