Thinking about outsourcing?  Don't do it without reading these articles first.
 
Outsourcing is a growing industry as businesses realise that focusing on their core skills and outsourcing the rest is the most efficient and effective use of their resources. We all know that it is impossible to be an expert in every aspect of our business which is why we hire accountants and lawyers, for example. 
 
Nowadays you can outsource almost any routine function from your HR to the IT helpdesk to your credit control. We have selected these articles to provide an unbiased opinion on the subject and we hope that you will find them a useful tool in making your mind up.

What do I need all that data for?

- By David Webb

Businesses who are concerned about the amount of data they are collecting or are looking for an informed way in which to make marketing decisions need to think about this from two aspects.

These are:

1) Can I save the information I need in a more effective way?

2) How can I use the information I currently have in a more effective way?

From the day we start thinking about beginning a business we start collecting data.  As our business grows we collect more data.  Then we take on staff and they start collecting data as well.  Before we know it we have developed vast resources of data.  And we are probably duplicating how we store this data.

Top Tip:

Use The Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 as a deterrent to non-payers – the act allows for compensation as well as interest to be charged should your debtor fail to pay you and the threat of these charges can be very effective in encouraging early payment.  Note that you do not have to have any interest charge detailed in your contract to be able to apply this but you can only use it when the debtor is a company.  You should use Section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 on consumer debts.
