Traditionally, outsourcing was used for narrow, low-risk processes, such as data entry, payroll, and mailing. Today, outsourcing is successfully utilized for more strategic business functions, such as financial management, customer service, and human resource management. This tendency represents a fundamental shift in the way companies operate to remain competitive.

Under the old outsourcing model, relationships are usually put together in haste. The outsourcer takes over a distressed situation in which service levels cannot easily be identified and agreed upon. Consequently, very few meaningful performance measures are ever defined. The result is a poorly understood relationship in which both parties blame each other for increasing levels of nonperformance. The relationship often becomes a win/lose battle where the client seeks to reduce to outsourcer’s profits, and the outsourcer seeks to maximize its profit structure in opposition to the client.

A more desirable model is one where the client looks at the outsourcer as a long-term asset that is a source of ongoing value to the company. As an asset and an investment, time and resources are dedicated to managing the relationship and maximizing its value.
