Businesses open to outsourcing

The benefits outsourcing can offer businesses are widely recognised, with the principal drivers being desire to find efficiencies (57%) or to reduce cost (55%). Tax and accounting (49%) and IT (46%) are the main processes companies currently outsource.

However, a majority of business leaders remain reluctant to outsource; the principal barrier emerges as an unwillingness to lose control of a key process (44%) followed by the high cost of implementation (32%) and the risk involved with contracting out a key process (27%).
