Five Myths About Outsourcing

There is a lot of confusion around the topic of outsourcing to the Philippines - usually stemming from a variety of good and bad news stories. A lot of these bad news stories actually stem from experiences with businesses who perceive outsourcing as a ‘set and forget’ strategy, which is not the case at all. Outsourcing is a strategy that requires ongoing communication and teamwork in order for it to be successful.

Businesses also tend to assume that their offshore team members will come trained and ready to go. And while they are trained to some extent, they still require further training on the depths of your businesses’ operations. Businesses who aren’t prepared for that training and the need for ongoing communication are often the ones that don’t succeed. It's these particular experiences, along with many others that have resulted in the circulation of myths around outsourcing - with many businesses deeming it to be too risky as a result.
