Although outsourcing and outsourcing are similar, they have different meanings and uses:
1. Outsourcing: refers to an agreement by both parties to entrust another party (usually an enterprise) under specific conditions. An external organization or individual) completes a certain project or task and pays the other party a remuneration according to the agreed consideration. The client still needs to assume primary responsibility for outsourcing, including task assignment, quality control, and results acceptance. 2. Outsourcing: refers to the transfer of business, work or production tasks originally completed within the company to external partners or suppliers, who are responsible for implementation, supervision and management, and charge fees as agreed. At this time, the client no longer performs business-related responsibilities, but selects, supervises and manages outsourced service providers.
Therefore, the most fundamental difference between outsourcing and outsourcing lies in the difference in responsibility and control. Under an outsourcing relationship, the client is still responsible for the tasks and results, while under an outsourcing relationship, it is completely handed over to the external service agency. In addition, outsourcing is usually applicable to some specific tasks or single projects, while outsourcing is the overall application of enterprise service outsourcing.
