Outsourcing is not exactly a new idea. As far back as the 1950’s, companies that found they didn’t have the resources in-house to perform tasks began looking to other individuals and companies to fulfill their needs. It wasn’t until the late 80’s that outsourcing really began to take off as companies turned to “offshoring” of outsourced projects to countries such as China and India in order to take advantage of the savings in labor costs.
