The top most reason to outsource a function is that you have a worker shortage and you cannot hire specialists so you outsource to someone who has the workforce with required skill set. Once you outsource some of the tedious tasks you own workforce can focus on the more strategic issues giving you more time. The firms can also outsource the functions that are not of core importance to the company like the support function of payroll processing, data entry etc. You should definitely outsource if you find a company that can do it for you at a lesser cost and at the same quantity. As the firms we outsource to are specialists in their fields, they have cost advantage as well as the experienced workforce that can improve the quality and reduce errors. If outsourcing can give you access to a better competitive technology then outsource as this will give you an advantage and also add diversity of ideas. If there is a high demand and you have to meet an order then outsourcing can help meet that deadline. The most important thing is that if you are operating in a very risky environment then you can share some of the risk with the other firm.

Low cost
service is one of the main reason why large companies outsource their
business. Quality is not a big deal since countries that provide
outsource services have dedicated outsource staff that renders
services to foreign market. Its more of an advantage to companies who
outsource their business if they choose a country that has people
with good language skills for better interaction, at the same time,
equipped with the right knowledge that clients are looking for.

A Corporation should simply outsource work when it gets in the way of them focusing on their income producing activities (IPAs). Following the 80/20 rule, only 20% of the work brings in most of the revenue so the goal with outsourcing is to find more time for their 20% IPAs by properly delegating the 80% time consuming work to the right Virtual Assistants who can get the job done

Well first thing is that when you start a business you really need to outsource in order to have a staff that will work for you. One reason that businesses outsource is because they need people, they need staff that will work for them. They need to hire a specialist as soons as possible and that has a experience in order to do the tasks. Another thing is that they outsource because of lower labour costs.

I won't be writing a huge post, I just will share 4 principal signs that indicate your business needs  outsourcing:

1. Repetitive Tasks Take Up Too Much Time2. You Struggle to Manage Your Business’s Growth

3. You Realized Paying Someone Else to Do Your Work Can Actually Save You Money4. You’ve Realized You Aren’t the Expert in EverythingThese four are the main factors, I guess. 

Best of luck!

I always thought that reasons of outsourcing are rather clear. Sooner or later a company starts growing and can't cope with all the volume of work by itself.

Practice of outsourcing is very widespread in IT industry, especially when it comes to directions like Ukraine. Here's a great post revealing top Ukrainian ERP software development services https://diceus.com/erp-software-development/ .
