Outsourcing is described as “one of the greatest organisational and industry structure shifts of the century”. It is taking place in every corner of the globe and extends beyond the outsourcing of IT functions to include the outsourcing of business processes such as human resources, procurement, marketing, accounting, document management and a whole host of other non-core business functions. Shared services is also gaining significant momentum.
