Our company is an outsourcing solutions provider based in the Philippines. Our two primary services, offshore staff leasing and offshore managed solutions (each described in detail in the services section of our site), are both forms of outsourcing. Before you consider using our services, it is essential that you understand what outsourcing is and become familiar with some of the key words used in the outsourcing industry. This knowledge will help you decide if outsourcing is something you ought to consider for your own business.

Outsourcing: the transfer of the management and/or day-to-day execution of a business process to an external service provider. Another term that is usually used to refer to outsourcing is Business Process Outsourcing or BPO. In any outsourcing agreement, there are at least two parties involved:

  • The Client
    - the company that decides to have an external party perform one or more of its business processes.

  • The Provider
    - the company that executes the business process on behalf of the client.


This is the most direct outsourcing agreement. In larger or more complex outsourcing constructions, there may be one or more brokers in between the client and the provider(s). This broker acts as a middleman and its services are commonly to find the right providers on behalf of the client and take over some of the operational management and responsibilities. Sourcefit is an outsourcing solutions provider, not a broker.

If we look at the business processes being outsourced then we can identify three main categories:

  • Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO)
    Outsourcing the design, development, implementation and management of IT products and processes to a third party provider

  • Voice Outsourcing
    Outsourcing call center functions to a third party provider such as customer support and telemarketing

  • Non-Voice Outsourcing
    Business processes that do not fall under ITO or Voice Outsourcing. Examples are accounting, marketing, sales, research and development and administrative tasks.

Besides the type of business process that is being outsourced, we can also look at the geographic distance between the client and the provider:

  • Inshoring/Onshoring
    Client and provider are in the same country. An example would be a company based in New York outsourcing to a company based in Boston.

  • Nearshoring
    Client and provider are in different countries but at a relatively short distance from each other. A good example would be a US-based company outsourcing to a Mexico-based provider.

  • Offshoring
    Client and provider are in different countries and at a considerable distance from each other. An example would be a US-based company outsourcing to a Philippines-based provider.

Sourcefit is based in the Philippines and most of our clients are based in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, therefore we are an Offshore BPO provider.
A large mobile phone network operator wishing to build its own community service turned to Sourcefit to provide both short-term development resources and long-term leased staff.
