Russian Practice in Outsourcing

On the modern Russian market there are different situations. Often companies transfer non-core functions to outsourcers almost completely. Sometimes, in general, the need to use such a service as it outsourcing is reduced to zero .

There are a number of circumstances when the development of your own department can be a pretty good solution for the company. For example, when their own processes are well built, and managers have a fairly high qualification. Then you just need to raise the level of your own specialists. However, in such cases there are additional expenses for the development of this department. In fact, it becomes another company within the core business. Not everyone will be ready to put up with this situation.

In most cases, now, executives prefer to create combinations - they carry out some projects independently, and for certain functions and features they conclude a contract with IT outsourcing. For example, modern banks use the work of their own departments when it comes to providing the latest technological solutions to customers, for example, mobile and remote services. But in some areas without outsiders can not do even such companies. Thus, it is not necessary to hire and train employees separately to solve a particular problem or problem. It is enough to take advantage of the experience and competence of the IT company, which is usually quite high.

One of the most common models in our market is fixed cost. With this model, even before the beginning of the work, their volume is strictly determined, as well as the final price. The technical and organizational risks associated with this are completely transferred to contractors. This model is bad in that it does not take into account the problems that can arise for objective reasons, not dependent on anyone.

Distributed in the same way the model of actual labor costs. There is no fixed cost here. Payment is carried out depending on how much work the person actually performed. The rates of the artist's specialists and the time spent on the project become the main parameters in this case. So here it is supposed certain flexibility of actions. This flexibility can be followed by both sides. Work can be re-planned at any time, if the unforeseen circumstances arise. This approach has only the only drawback - the performers lack the motivation to complete the projects in a short time.
