The outsourcing process can anticipate this as a key risk and set up systems which look to eliminate the risk. Choosing a recognized and reputable outsourcing agency is the starting point to reduce this risk to zero.

  2. Reduced quality control: We believe you get out what you put into an outsourcing arrangement. While the work you sent out will come back quickly you may think it will lack the quality and efficiency of your in-house team. This disadvantage is overcome by having a strong working relationship with your outsourcing partner and also having clear processes on how to manage the entire process. In Shergroup we made our onshore team the trainers and knowledge-based experts and trained our offshore team to do the processing. We then put our onshore team into new roles in working with customers. Perhaps you can do the same!

Draw up a sound contract which is fair to both you and your outsourcing partner. Have this checked by your lawyer to ensure your local laws and compliance requirements are factored into the contract. The concerns you anticipate should be covered by this agreement.
