Presently, outsourcing management involves engaging service providers who will attend to the IT requirements of their clients by installing computers and applications at the client's or a separate data center premises. Service providers will also hire large numbers of programmers and IT people to cater to the client's business requirements. The key issue involved is that the clients get to focus on their main business while IT is handled by specialist information technology firms.

Cloud Computing and Outsourcing

The latest information technology trend is cloud computing. It involves making hardware and software available to clients from the Web (the cloud). And clients can start using these in hours, instead of weeks and months typically needed to set up the facilities in-house. More significantly, users pay only for what they use instead of buying hardware and licensing software at heavy prices.

Google and Amazon are two key players who provide cloud computing services now. According to a recent article titled "The End of Outsourcing (As We Know It)" in Business Week (August 10, 2010), these companies are most likely to take business from existing outsourced service providers in India and elsewhere.
