The word subcontracting, outsourcing or outsourcing is known as the " contract that one company makes to another to perform certain services, originally assigned to the first ". The outsourcing is developing economic business where a corporation is in charge of the processes in order to implement the activities of an external company, which also devoted to the presentation of various specialized services through a contract.
Outsourcing can only hire staff, but the goods will be provided by the consumer and the “hardware and software” facilities, or they can also hire both staff and resources. On the other hand, it can be said that the subcontracted company must pay part of the administrative and operational control of the company, so that the company can do its work apart from the normal links of the subcontracting company and its consumers. This also includes a considerable degree of two-way exchange of information, coordination and trust.
Organizations that provide these services think that outsourcing requests the transfer of corporate responsibility in order to process a proportion of the business. In the hypothesis the proportion should not be critical for the operation of the company but in the exercise it indicates the opposite. The entities hire companies specialized in subcontracting in order to order the administration of the most suitable extension.
