Outsourcing is a great way for large companies to save money and time. The risk of outsourcing is making sure the vendors are given a proper procedure for the product. Everything must be completed according the their instructions. If not the company is at risk and will be at lost. In my opinion outsourcing is a pro, many of these large companies do not need to hire full time or part time employees, but hire employees through contracts. Many companies do this because it saves them a lot of money.
