You are right..outsourcing has also bad parts, especially when working with other countries.. But with a good organization everything can be simple and useful.

Anyway, I think outsourcing, despite of the bad parts, is still the best way to make a business work on this days..with this economic crisis..

Today, two years later after this article, things are a little bit changed and most of these challenges already addressed.
….When confidential data is outsourced…. most of the well established outsourcing providers today have strict rules about data security. In many BPO projects you don’t have access to e-mails or to Internet at all. Of course, security breaches can happen…Latest example Wikileaks
…the need for Internet access is essential…This is why you have Business Continuity Planning, with cross support from offshore center in another continent, for example. To make sure that even in times of revolt or tsunamis these guys are there processing your data
…lack of insight of a business is a drawback…I don’t know about outsourcing marketing activities , but keeping an eye on the final result of the outsourcing relationship and if it is really good, this can compensate the lack of insight
…they certainly cannot be as good at it as the owner…besides marketing again, unfortunately you can realize that a lot of globally presented companies don’t know how to control certain aspects of their business processes
…they are not representing any one client exclusively….true, still no cure for that
…hird-party companies start demanding more money than was agreed upon…that could happen to small/middle sized companies depending on just one provider, the larger ones are using multiple vendors
…the difference in time zones can be a potential hazard…outsourcing companies have delivery centers on nearly every continent. For Europe you can be serviced from eastern European centers,USA and Canada – India works 24/7, guys
…loss of work to people from the hiring company’s country…inevitable, many theories on the effect, after all people have to adapt. The guys on the other end of the phone will also loose their jobs once the cost of labor there jumps too high

The reason why offshore outsourcing is booming right now is because of the global recession. More and more companies- whether big or small prefer to outsource because it saves them time, effort, and money.

Let’s take web outsourcing for example. web development jobs are sent to developing countries such as the Philippines because of the cheaper labor costs. The cost of hiring a web developer in the US can be equivalent to hiring a web developer, an SEO team, and a customer support team in the Philippines. It’s up to the business owner and the outsourcing team to collaborate and set realistic goal expectations. Language is not a barrier anymore, neither collaborative tools which are available anywhere.

My point is, some of the issues stated by the author affects the businesses minimally. Outsourcing is a booming industry simply because it works.

Firstly there is a situation today where employees have started fearing job losses. This gives rise to lower motivation and thereby decline in services. After all who would like to serve an organization that he feels is going to sack him for all his services. An employee can give the company 100% if and only if he feels that he is an integral part of the organization and not some dummy to be sacked when ever the company feels like. One more point here is that a sacked employee could even join hands with competitors and bring to light the weaknesses of the company.
Outsourcing can also lead to the alterations of well established job processes that can lead to unnecessary delays and conflicts. Lack of coordination between people having different cultural backgrounds and different time zones can also lead to time losses.
Looking at all these drawbacks, outsourcing really does not seem to be the magic answer for cutting costs. On the contrary outsourcing is way more complicated and can lead to drastic situational developments in the afterward. The governments of first world nations at this point need to analyze this situation and help develop a fair playing ground for organizations taking into consideration the negative effects of outsourcing offshore.
