Critical Facilities White Paper #3
Global Best Practices Series

Outsourcing Considerations
for Critical Facilities

Recent surveys have confirmed that 83% of America's fastest growing companies have turned to outsourcing for one or more of their functions. Most companies gained experience by outsourcing some of their clearly defined non-core functions of minimal strategic value, such as payroll processing, janitorial services, landscaping and security guard services.

However, this same solution applied to other more sophisticated and specialized services has gained in popularity, including accounting functions, print and mail services, human resources, customer services, call center operations, materials management, manufacturing, sales and marketing. Today, it is not unusual to have companies consider outsourcing key functions in critical and hypercritical facilities.

While initial resistance may have existed related to perceived loss of control and potential increased risks, this tool has proven its value as a particularly beneficial approach for certain critical functions, including engineering operations, property management and computer support services.
