Outsourcing is the delegation of tasks or jobs from internal production to an external entity (such as a subcontractor). Recently the term is being used for delegation to countries where salaries are very low in order to cut the costs. Still, most of the outsourcing that occurs today still occurs within the country boundaries. Why? Delegation to eastern countries can bring several obstacles. Finding a reliable and suitable partner is a hard task. In order to benefit from outsourcing without a huge risk you need reliable partner, company or individuals. Selection process is hard due to cultural differences such as completely different education and people's skill set. Salaries are low in undeveloped countries where the market is undeveloped and the definition of an expert is different. Last but not least, despite the new age communication technology people still must have live meetings in certain situations which may be very expensive and takes time to organize. Buying services is necessarily considered outsourcing. Outsourcing always involves a considerable degree of co-ordination and information exchange.

izational problems, co-ordination and communicational obstacles (time zone difference brings many), lack of business understanding in eastern contries, cultural differences, physical distance, not enough trusted and reliable partners etc. many companies will not take the risk to outsource outside the country despite the big market pressure to do more for less.

But some companies do take the risk because of the high potential. They mostly outsource the least connected to bussiness parts of the product cycle chain such as development. For small companies offshore development by freelances can cut costs but is not easy to manage and has many risks.

Eastern Europe

Do you know that most IT projects don't fail because of IT reasons? The highest reason on the scale is the business understanding problem. Please check any study you wish to confirm that. Bringing new organizational risks might be much more dangerous then you think. On the other side, cutting costs has high potential. Is it possible to live with all those? We think it is, and that is the reason why we suggest outsourcing to Eastern Europe over outsourcing to India. Outsourcing to far East brings many new risks: cultural barrier makes it harder to understand the business gols, time-zone difference makes it hard even to make an online meeting. We suggest outsourcing to Eastern Europe. Last but not least, when you need a live meeting it's easy to fly.
