Outsourcing is a matter of thinking strategically of the needs of an organization and finding the right service delivery model to meet them.
Why Companies Outsource CRE: A survey end users and service providers by CoreNet Global reported the primary drivers for outsourcing are cost reduction, need to focus on more strategic activities, a desire for increased flexibility, and a chance to gain leading practices. However, many organizations tend to develop a certain level of institutional inertia as they grow, and high-level executives often view even less-than-ideal outcomes as preferable to the unknown. Frequently, this mindset is cultural and goes beyond the CRE department. Whether a company has been successful in outsourcing other functions (e.g., procurement, HR) can influence its decision to outsource RE functions.
