Going to Multisourcing

A relatively new trend in the Outsourcing Industry in the recent times is that of multisourcing. Multisourcing refers to outsourcing to multiple service providers instead of just one. Distributing the relevant development and maintenance work among more than one service providers is more profitable than having one single service provider carrying out all the work. Business functions can be treated as a portfolio of activities of which the the peripheral tasks can be outsourced to multiple service providers while the critical activities can be retained in-house. However, you can also choose to hire professional service providers for them as well. The concept of multisourcing offers tremendous benefits for the business owners, but also some risks and pitfalls.
