Outsourcing is a strategic business practice where a company delegates specific tasks, functions, or processes to an external service provider instead of handling them internally. This allows organizations to focus on their core operations while benefiting from the expertise, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of specialized external partners.

Outsourcing can cover a wide range of services — from IT support, customer service, and payroll processing to manufacturing, logistics, and marketing — depending on the organization’s needs and goals.
