Outsourcing is thus becoming a common practice of contracting service providers to manage different aspects of the business. This practice is followed all over the World including India. The main reason for this act is to seek a service that manages an activity that is proving a burden on the infrastructure and the other one is to save on cost. These factors offer a competitive advantage besides cost saving.
