Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can outsource some business functions and save costs, focus on core and strategic areas in their businesses. SMEs can use the growing outsourcing trend in business as an advantage, to become more efficient in operations and stay ahead of their competition.

Companies have long tapped third parties for services such as security and maintenance. Outsourced activities have now grown to include operations, service support, accounting and human resource functions.

Companies can tap other parties who can do these functions for them, who can deliver faster services and help keep track of their developments.

Outsourced functions help the company save as it no longer has to hire more employees to do company functions.
When hiring employees, the company needs to consider their incentives and benefits. In outsourcing, however, the company only considers the provider’s ability to deliver service.

SMEs must take care in selecting a service provider. It is important that companies should carefully check their chosen service provider to avoid unclear deliverables and unmet expectations. It is also helpful to have an established coordination and in-house support.
