SigEx Ventures : To-do lists found their solution in outsourcingby Ioana Madalina Tantareanu

Since outsourcing is the business of choice for many developing countries like India, China, Russia or South Africa to name just a few, it's been growing like crazy. Call centers, computer software, customer service or even manufacturing high-tech equipment, no job seems too big for the willing and cheap workers in these countries. The business is flourishing and now it's time to take matters one step further. Some companies hire people to do chores in the name of interested Westerners. Research, sending e-mails, giving wake-up calls, anything you need to be done outsourcers can do it for you. And why not pay someone else to waste time on your annoying everyday activities? If you have enough money to pay the monthly bill and you're generally a busy person, this kind of service is just the thing for you. Sites offering these services can be found by the dozens and their staff is well-trained, polite and hard-working and will do almost anything you ask. There is still a downside: if you start sending work abroad, when do you stop and draw the line? Asking your Indian assistant to do research for you is one thing, but if she's the one reading your child the bedtime story every night, you might be heading for serious problems. This personal type of outsourcing is more reliable than sending big manufacturing tasks overseas. It's a way for the developing countries to grow by their own power; many companies are created by native people without foreign intervention, as is the case with previous forms of outsourcing.
