Outsourcing is a great strategy and gives you skills and access to enter a market which you may otherwise have to be developed inhouse using company resources. This is important especially when there are companies like Cleave Global in the Health, Finance and Telecom sector who can still help maintain the tempo of the company growth in the time of recession.

we do outsource our web development projects because it cost us less than getting here in the US.

Outsourcing is perfect for Online businesses. You can concentrate on your branding, marketing and customer service while your products/services are all being fulfilled by another company that has little or no web presence.

You could even go as far as outsourcing you branding, marketing and customer service if you wanted to! Heck why not even outsource your management while you're at it?

Then you can give clear instructions for suppliers not to disturb you, unless of course it's an emergency - as you cruise the Caribbean...

Outsourcing is a good business idea. Our place is a beneficiary of this kind of business practice and it really help us a lot.

Outsourcing sometimes has a bad "rap" with end user clients...but I have found it to be safe, valuable, and more beneficial than in house expansion. I haven't had the best results with companies who "do everything in-house" .... for example an IT firm who builds websites, does SEO, phone lines, networking, internal communication systems, sells and sets up CRM etc... I doubt that they are top notch at ALL these things. In fact I experienced this already. I choose to outsource darn near everything.

Some of the more common tasks I've seen out sourced by small businesses we work with include things like accounting, web design, SEO, software development, and a few others I can't recall off the top of my head.

The web design and software development are more common since most businesses only require these things to establish an online presence, and putting in the resources and hours themselves may not be worth while to them.

Accounting could be easy enough to handle in house, but some business owners just don't want the extra hassle of handling payroll and remembering to file everything on time, so they might outsource to an independent account or a small business accounting firm.

Finally, I'm not sure how often SEO outsourcing has worked out for the businesses we work with. Given all the resources in published books and the internet, I see more and more tackling the SEO thing themselves since it is an ongoing task. However, if they hired someone else to handle the web design, I think they usually retain their services for SEO as well.
