The decision to outsource is usually based on two business factors: value proposition and market-based outsourcing.

Market-based outsourcing is a comparison between internal skills and abilities, and the capabilities of providers in the marketplace. The decision to outsource is based on whether an external provider can do the job better, cheaper or faster than an internal team.
