Role of technology: Outsourcing has traditionally been the cost-reducer and business accelerator. With the velocity-driven digital economy, technology has transformed outsourcing to record highs. Today, organizations increasingly rely on smart tools, platforms, and automation to simplify outsourcing processes, making them frictionless, and more performant.
