Gruppo La Meridiana is at the forefront to offer to the companies professionists in Outsourcing to be included in the staff or to manage a part of the company not related to the core business.

Companies that choose to outsource a part of the production process can achieve savings estimated at around 15% on the national average. This is a widespread practice for the small and the large reality. PMI are turning to third companies to speed up and dispose of the organization timing for certain functions and to reduce the costs, while large companies choose outsourcing primarily to improve efficiency.

Analyzing the advantages that come from outsourcing of production processes, the first that is immediately apparent is the possibility for the company to focus on core business. Substantially reducing the number of activities that need to be managed from the inside, the company can rearrange the resources to invest them in primary activities, improving the competitiveness on the market, giving the management of the secondary aspects to an outside company, specializing in those activities.

Deserves special attention the evolution of the costs, that with the outsourcing, change from fixed to variable. In fact, entrusting a business unit to an outside company, the costs for equipment and staff, that in the financial statements are included in depreciation, are no longer the company’s competence, but of the company to which was entrusted the outsourcing.

This move also implies a decrease in the specific know-how in the company, with the migration of previously trained professionals inside to an external reality no longer strictly linked to company-specific needs.

Another risk is that of a decrease of the control on the final service that is offered to the customer, in the case where the sectors that are outsourced cater to the outside, which also implies a loss of direct contact. This is an operation which should be administered with extreme caution to preserve company-specific needs and also keep them in case of outsourcing.
