With the increasing boom seen in the Information Technology domain and globalization stepping into every walk of life, outsourcing is now the staple diet for every professional. Today, internet has spread its wings to every nook and corner of the world. From American continents to the Australian Bay area, the world economy and communication jet age practically lives on the Web (rather in it.) Outsourcing is the noticeable phenomenon of off-shoring work to cheaper work force in other countries, preferably developing countries, to earn higher ROI. Both the Multi-national companies as well as the small businesses target cheaper labor across miles to ensure easy pay. Outsourcing has witnessed a steady increase in its ratio in the recent times. On annual basis, we can measure a growth of 11% on an average for the outsourced work from the Western countries. Among the identified areas for outsourcing, the major area is the Asia Pacific region. Among the Asian nations, India is the world’s largest and the most preferred hub for outsourcing. Most of the western countries consider India as an intellectually rich but a poor country with respect to the economy. In the recent past, there was heavy flow of Indian software gurus and hi-tech professionals traveling to the foreign lands along with many white-collared geniuses. But today, outsourcing is giving opportunity to the many IT professionals in India and other such identified countries to work at their own comfort and pay. But, what’s the catch? Why is outsourcing growing in leaps and bounds every year? And how is it spreading to wider networks across the globe? The reason is simple: Savings. What is all the more astonishing is the rate at which outsourcing is growing and helping in the increasing savings for many of the job posters. The savings has also been on a steady rise of 40% on yearly basis. One of the most contributing factors in the growth and popularity of outsourcing is the rapid explosion of the online freelance domain. Today, freelance is no more a term used for writers working as freelancers for media organizations. The IT sector now boasts of freelancers in every discipline, from designers to content writers to web developers to search engine optimization experts and much more. There are many freelance sites on the Web which are popularizing and aiding the outsourcing drive. One of the finest and transparent freelance sites includes Odesk, Elance, and Getafreelancer etc. Out of these, the most recommended site in terms of transparency and security is odesk. It is clearly a great tool in the hands of the service provider as well as the job provider. Odesk lets the Job poster manage his employees, i.e., his team and keep a track of their work and proceedings. On the other hand, it also a great tool for the service providers to manage their work on timely basis and get payment for genuine work without much hassle. In other words, outsourcing is swiftly changing the way companies and people work around the world. And in no time, we will step into the era where online offices will replace the brick and mortar ones.
