In contrast, mid-market companies have responded with extensive cost-cutting and selective outsourcing. As more global competitors enter the US and European markets, mid-market companies will become even more challenged. Outsourcing is a means to reduce costs, structure competitive global value chains, and expand revenues. Few mid-market companies, however, are using outsourcing as the defensive and offensive weapon it is.

Many mid-market companies are not leveraging the advantages of outsourcing because they lack the necessary experience, especially across multiple business units and functions. Many have not assessed core vs. non-core competencies internally to identify processes and functions that can be sourced from experience services providers at lower cost and better quality. Likewise, they lack the internal skills and knowledge to plan, execute, and manage such intiatives.

To survive and prosper in the highly competitive global marketplace, mid-market companies will need to adopt outsourcing, and focus upon the key drivers of business value for their customers and markets. To make the transition, these companies will need the expert guidance of exceptional practitioners and experienced service providers who can deliver sustainable business advantage and exceptional results.
