Outsourcing to cheaper service providers has become an abhorred word today and many countries, including the USA, are trying to stop outsourcing of jobs and work due to the economic meltdown. For many years, outsourcing back office work, software development, call center jobs, etc, was a way out for companies that did not require regular back office staff, or who needed to cut down costs to maintain profitability. Millions of jobs and back office work like Typing Services were outsourced to cheaper service providers in countries like India.
