The outsourcing industry has faced a considerable amount of turmoil within the past few years but has proven to be an effective business strategy in good times and in bad. Strategic organizations have been able to leverage outsourcing and evolve to not only reduce costs when it was most crucial but also develop new organizational capabilities, drive innovation and capitalize on the resources of their partners.
