Scoping It Out What's
the real story behind outsourcing, who's doing it successfully,
and who are the companies that provide these outsourcing services?
More and more companies are choosing to
outsource tasks like payroll, benefits administration, and
IT functions, among many others. Some have even decided to
outsource their entire training division. They've done their
calculations and determined that business functions that don't
contribute to their bottom line should be farmed out completely.
For them, it's simply a matter of holding down costs by outsourcing
high-volume drudgery – thus freeing their company to
focus on core competencies. They prefer to be lean and mean.
Right now, outsourcing is one of the hottest
topics in corporate learning circles, but there is still a
lot of uncertainty around the key players who offer and take
advantage of outsourcing services. To help cut through the
myths and misunderstandings about outsourcing, we've compiled

at the history of learning outsourcing, explains how and where
