Outsourcing

Competition between economic actors involves increasingly complex mechanisms. The stakes may involve survival of the company. In an increasingly digitized and automated world, economic actors must demonstrate greater efficiency at more competitive prices. There are particularly certain tasks which are necessary but do not have any added value provided by the company, such tasks may hinder the company’s development.
One solution is to delegate the execution of such tasks to external service providers, rather than making heavy equipment and training investments internally.

Companies outsource primarily to cut costs. The following are some of the services that companies outsource: - accounting and tax related services, personnel administration (recruitment of employees; payroll; obtaining work permits; engagements with insurance companies and authorities, etc.).

Outsourcing is a profitable choice for a company, as long as the right partner is chosen.

The question of the lawfulness of the communication being all the more complex if this service provider is located outside the country.
