The Definition of Outsourcing

The definition of Outsourcing is basically hiring a third party to perform a job, or complete a project, that others cannot. In 2023, it's a competitive edge many are turning to in efforts to stay relevant in todays global economy. Outsourcing can also be defined as smart business. Who doesn't want to provide its consumers a great product, while at the same time save money? No one.

What I love about the teams I've met while outsourcing is meeting people from around the world and learning from them, because they are true experts in their field. These intelligent men and women are not only skilled and willing to work, but they are aware of changes in technology and demands of consumers in a global market. I advise anyone new to outsourcing to chose a developer who is aware of the changing landscape of technology. And yes, we continue to have a "tech crunch" - a huge problem facing all areas of outsourcing with limited available candidates. We've solved this issue at Evolve Squads because we treat our outsourced talent with respect and have had incredible success in matching the right person to the right company; creating end products that have immediate impact and long lasting work relationships.

Last week while talking with future engineers, I was asked what the benefits of outsourcing are in todays market, because outsourcing is considered a short term solution, in many cases, when designing software or coding? They're correct; while outsourcing may be short term in the tech world, it has far reaching benefits to both the developer and the company outsourcing them. It is a win-win for both company and developer, because it not only creates new opportunities otherwise not available to smaller businesses, but it places the right person to complete a top tier finished product.?

What many of our return clients are focusing on today is maintenance of the products. It’s a problem for mobile apps; great ideas that have huge potential for change but aren’t maintained to insure longevity.?Not many people talk about this, and I predict it will become a trending topic in the future, as apps begin to age; they must be maintained as technology advances, and the consumers needs advances. Our teams know this and are saving the integrity of some fantastic apps from becoming obsolete.

The definition of outsourcing has changed dramatically when it first hit our vocabulary in the 1990's - but what hasn't changed is the impact outsourcing can have the products or services a company provides, and in staying at pace with its competition. At Evolve Squads we have developers who are amazing at their jobs, located around the world, and want to continue learning and roaming in the world of technology.
