Micro Outsourcing growth continues in 2014

LONDON - Jan. 22, 2014 - PRLog -- The ‘traditional’ focus of outsourcing has been more aligned with ‘offshoring’ of services typically used by larger organisations – in other words, moving entire departments, processes and services to locations away from the main business hub……such as moving (or ‘offshoring’) an IT department to India. Essentially, moving a full-time, ‘permanent’ resource to a geographical location that offers key benefits, such as cheaper labour.

With micro-outsourcing, however, the requirements are likely to be diverse, and requirements are likely to fluctuate over time, from day to day, week to week, or project to project. Moreover, rather than have an ‘always on’ demand for resources, outsourcing requirements are likely to be more piece-meal. ...assistance with some administration and data entry, assistance with creative work, or just an extra pair of hands to assist us with workloads.

In a Ralphs, founder of 'Outsource Renegade', an online resource providing extensive outsource training to small business owners and entrepreneurs in effective outsourcing said "To cater for this continuing demand, an increasing number of outsource companies, both online and physical, have emerged and grown to cater for this micro outsourcing demand.... whereby they can offer a range of outsourcing services, when you need it, at a scale that you need it."

And with the internet now offering a veritable treasure trove of amazing outsource & freelance resources – from individuals operating as independent freelancers, to groups of freelancers operating as small agencies offering a range of services, to a vast array of micro-outsourcing or task outsourcing and freelance sites, the phenomenal growth of outsourcing looks set to expand yet further.

And the early signs in 2014 are that this growth is continuing to rise sharply, as people look for a way to reduce costs, increase productivity and maximise profits, with major sites growing in both size and the number of projects they are accepting.
