Outsourcing has existed for more than two decades. Leading businesses and even governments outsource certain activities to utilize resources more efficiently. Reducing operating costs is another major motivation for organizations to outsource.

The delegation of tasks or processes to companies overseas, like offshore contact center outsourcing to the Philippines, began around the late 1990’s with the expansion of the Internet and development of other communication infrastructures in different parts of the world.

Big corporations then started moving their operations (partially or fully) to countries in Asia, primarily to gain cost advantages.

However, corporations now view that outsourcing is not just another method to curb costs, but more of a way to elevate productivity, efficiency, and overall performance.
