Outsourcing
The process of having an external supplier provide products and services that were previously provided internally.
Impact
Outsourcing drives cost efficiency for non-core activities but introduces dependency risks.
Weinto take
Never outsource your Core Competency. If you are a software company, you cannot outsource your engineering leadership. Outsourcing is for commodities (cleaning, cafeterias, maybe Tier 1 support). Sovereign Intelligence must be built in-house.
