Benefits of Outsourcing
Outsourcing (the contracting out of an organisation's services to an outside supplier) has many benefits for all
organisations, from small operators with less than five employees through to large organisations.
By outsourcing components of their business - especially non-core, non-revenue producing activities such as quality,
environment and safety - organisations can focus on their core competencies.
Traditionally, medium to large organisations have realised the benefits of outsourcing activities to experts who
provide a simple, cost-effective option.
Increasingly, however, small operators are realising the benefits of outsourcing. |

| Increased Flexibility and Responsiveness |
Outsourcing frees internal resources to focus on the core
competencies of the business - customer service, product development, innovation and strategic direction.
Some organisations, particularly smaller entities, tend to over-invest in non-core competencies and neglect investment
in areas which could deliver competitive advantage.
By making capital funds available through outsourcing, organisations have the ability to assign resources to identifying
opportunities in the marketplace and freeing capital to take advantage of these opportunities. |

| Reduced Risk |
Outsourcing to experts in environment and quality not only
delivers cost and resource savings but also reduces the risk of failing to comply with the complexities of the
Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme ( currently in limbo ) with legislative and possible future taxation requirements,
combined with the yet still not clearly defined National Greenhousegas Energy Reporting Act of 2007.
Many organisations see outsourcing environment requirements in a risk management context. The outsourcing provider
ensures the organisation meets their compliance and governance responsibilities. |
