What is Outsourcing Services ?

[codiant]

Outsourcing is the business practice of hiring a party outside a company to perform services or create goods that were traditionally performed in-house by the company's own employees and staff. Outsourcing is a practice usually undertaken by companies as a cost-cutting measure. As such, it can affect a wide range of jobs, ranging from customer support to manufacturing to the back office.

The practice of outsourcing is when a company hires a third-party to perform tasks, handle operations, or provide services.

I see outsourcing as a shortcut many founders abuse. They dump core backend work on cheap freelancers, ignore SLA and QA, then blame the vendor for tech debt and churn.
Example: a SaaS outsources its MVP offshore, gets messy code, zero DevOps, and painful vendor lock-in.
