Quite simply, outsourcing is the "HOW" services are obtained. The "WHAT" the services are is defined by statements of work or scopes of work (SOWs). The HOW is exactly that..How does a company choose to acquire services. Does an internal staff of permanent resources provide them? Are they provided by a team of contracted resources managed by permanent staff? Or are the services outsourced, thereby handing over responsibility and accountability for the management and delivery of the services to a third party who then provides the services at pre-determined prices and to predetermined performance levels.

There are several reasons why companies turn to outsourcing as a means of obtaining services, some of which are:
 
 
     
  . Cost Savings
. Allow the Company to Focus on "Core" Business
. Access to Additional Skills "On Demand"
. Access to "Best In Class" Developments
