In this case, linela Insurance can use outsourcing, instead of to spent time and money, finding, hiring, and training employees, they can use this option.

Outsourcing is a process where we hire an external company to complete a job or an entire process.

We could hire an accounting company, we should delegate all this process, but if we don't select the correct option, we could lose control and money.

We could use this option in other departments or processes.

For example:

Our company has a manual process, and we would like to automate it, but we don't enough resources to hire a programmer.

If we use the outsourcing option, we could find a programming company.

This external company offers: License, installation, training our employees, and 24/7 support.

In this example our company will save a lot of time, with the external only we will pay a year's license.

If we hire a programmer, we will pay a monthly salary, vacations, inability, the programmer will start the process from the beginning.

Disadvantage

We could not control our new system, if the external company has a problem, we could lose all our processes, data, and investment.
