Outsourcing is the business practice of hiring a party outside a company to perform services and create goods that traditionally were performed in-house by the company’s own employees and staff. Outsourcing is a practice usually undertaken by companies as a cost-cutting measure. As such, it can affect a wide range of jobs, ranging from customer support to manufacturing to the back office.<\/p>\n
With the advancement of technology, outsource has become one of the most strategic tools in the trends of the business-making. With the rapid development of the IT field, Kosovo has become one of the convenient locations to develop global sources of IT services.<\/p>\n
According to the Global Sourcing Association (GSA) the Southeast Europe \u2013 Kosovo region has become an attractive location for sourcing\/outsourcing due to the qualified staff and a large number of highly educated, bilingual and qualified IT professionals. Kosovo has the youngest population (53% of Kosovars being under 25) in the EU, a strategic time zone (CET), the Euro currency, attractive prices, cultural affinity and a free trade agreement with the EU and US.<\/p>\n
This way of functioning, despite the benefits that outsourcing creates, there are some of the challenges that almost all companies are already facing.<\/p>\n
