The outsourcing trend
2 points by instakill on June 30, 2010 | hide | past | favorite
I was wondering, what is the current trend for outsourcing services in the US? Last I read, the overall market capitalization for the outsourcing industry in Europe was 12billion Euro if I remember correctly.

I'm based in South Africa and there is definitely a market for technical outsourcing with small- to medium- sized enterprises, especially with technical aspects. There is also a lot of work being outsourced internationally (Mostly to Europe due to our time zone alignment) due to the attractive exchange rate (SA's currency isn't the strongest in the world).

So, do you guys outsource? What do you outsource? How big do you think the market is?
