The very foundation of outsourcing means getting someone to handle their work, a business partner. Ideally, outsourcing consultant or company must have a vision similar to yours and solid work ethic.

Successful businesses depend heavily on finding the right outsourcing and for this reason:

• Determine clearly what your core business competencies are. Know your strengths and weaknesses.

• Clearly define the objectives, future business plans.

• Create an outsourcing proposal that outlines your objectives and needs. Clearly establish the details of the project, expectations, deadlines and budgets.

• in-depth research on outsourcing companies to find out what will suit your needs. Alternatively you can hire a consultant to conduct the search.

• Search for an organization that can supply many talents. Flexibility in operations is crucial.

• Interview at least organizations 3.4. Check out their references and projects. Be sure to meet with key staff to measure their skills. And check out their technological expertise.

• Doing a cost-effectiveness, as well as the way the company selected meets your needs. If the infrastructure and training will be in sync with it. Systems must be compatible. The cost should address the impact of greater flexibility, the difference in production management and time, which is the time to reach the market and its effects on competition.

• Study in depth the non-financial costs and benefits of outsourcing.

• Check with local chambers of commerce and the California Chamber of Commerce in www.calchamber. com or other associations that focus on human resources as the Sacramento Area Human Resources Association www.sahra.org.

• Before making a final choice check whether the outsourcing company or vendor is trustworthy, know what kind of security measures used to verify the company's reputation in the market to determine without doubt if they have the adequate qualifications.

• Find answers to: are an established and financially sound company, what is your philosophy of customer service, what is your record that are current clients is your estimate is clear or loop holes are limited or can spread throughout its growth, is there an implementation plan, what about the disaster recovery mechanisms can offer?

• Check whether the communication will be smooth and without problems and if there are cultural differences between you and the seller. If it's going to be able to bridge the gap.

The cornerstones of a good and ideal outsource is a company improve its performance, a partner in that growth by infusing talent and technology to share their visions, and contribute positively.
