Why Outsource?

Significant Cost Savings

The number one reason why businesses outsource is to reduce costs. Even when other reasons are listed as primary drivers, they are simply vehicles to get to a lower operational cost. Harvard Business Review states that to achieve a 20-30% reduction in costs, you must outsource as part of your overall cost reduction strategy. They cite a multi-pronged approach as essential; no one solution will solve your need to cut costs. While outsourcing has been around since the 1960s, it has only recently ballooned into its current popular usage. Outsourcing has been largely perfected and is getting better each year, to the point where it has become the way of doing business rather than a way of doing business. To compete you have to overcome any objections you might have to lowering your bottom line by finding more affordable talent in locations with lower costs of living when compared to your home base.

Increase Efficiency

When you hire remote staff that is more effective than onshore options—not just multiple hat-wearing current employees—your efficiency greatly improves. Every department within your organization, even if it has been through rounds of cost-cutting evaluations in the past, still suffers from inefficiencies due to staffing. 

Grow into new markets

Do you want to expand your operations, or initiate new goals as a leader in your organization, yet have been shot down time and again due to a lack of resources? Consider outsourcing as your route to furthering your own career goals, while at the same time improving the outlook for everyone you manage. 

We built our reputation around sourcing the best talent, and as we grew we needed full-time remote experts to support our operations. By finding the best talent, and nurturing it, we developed SkyeDesk. Call SkyeDesk today to discuss further your ability to save over 70% off your current costs.

Fill in Your Expertise Gaps

If you can’t find the right people for the job, or even manpower at all in many cases, you can’t scale as fast or as effectively as you’d like.

Don’t Outsource Core Functions

It’s important to note that while outsourcing is hugely effective, you have to outsource the right roles.

Boosting Productivity. Be Free to Run Operations at Your Desired Speed

Most employees in most organizations say they would like more time to focus on core work, instead of other issues that arise. Usually these other issues take on two forms: work that isn’t completed by others, and fixing problems caused by others’ lack of specialization. When your team members can once again focus on what they were hired to do, you’ll notice an uptick in the quality of their output, which is obvious; but you’ll also notice that because they didn’t specialize in their extraneous tasks, you weren’t getting much more than the bare minimum quality for those tasks.

What happens when you re-evaluate your current employees after you outsource? This is a natural consequence of adding new team members to your operations. Outsourcing is usually marketed as a way to focus on your core competencies, as described above, and it certainly is, but it can also result in the ability to see existing efforts in a new light. When one of our remote experts takes over a task, you’ll be able to see how well your existing employees were tackling the same task. Then, you can reevaluate what they should focus on moving forward. Perhaps you’ll even change their title or move them around in the company.

The only barrier to the tech, hardware and processes on the cutting edge is cost. While most organizations are looking to improve their bottom line, spending on these items seems counterproductive, but seeking out outsourcing gives access to these productivity-boosting resources while reducing labor costs. Our remote teams have already invested in operating at absolute peak performance, so you don’t have to buy things you might only need intermittently.

Behind reducing costs, boosting productivity is the primary reason organizations outsource. There are two main ways that your productivity grows when outsourcing: with the addition of new team members and the relief of your existing team members. The full-time remote experts that SkyeDesk plugs into your operations are ready to hit the ground running, which means you don’t lose valuable efficiency to training needs; your existing team is then free to focus on their core competencies, instead of rushing through them due to pressure from the additional workload of non-core work not currently covered due to lack of adequate staffing.

Give us a call today to learn more about what SkyeDesk can do for your business to improve its scalability, flexibility, profitability and efficiency. We custom tailor outsourcing solutions to your needs and can adjust at any time, depending on how your market changes.
