Outsourcing has evolved from a simple cost-cutting tool into a strategic technological asset, pivotal for businesses aiming for growth and innovation. It's now seen as a dynamic solution for varied scenarios: from managing spikes in demand by quickly ramping up teams to bringing in niche skills for specialized projects and handling non-core functions to focus on primary objectives.
