I believe some who answered are not understanding the meaning of "Outsourcing". It is not a "shut down" and/or "relocation" but a unique way for businesses to operate a department or area using personnel from companies providing "experts" in specialized fields. In most cases all current employees remain. The company may do so if a department needs to expand, current department employees can best be utilized elsewhere, to increase production, better educated and knowledgeable personnel required, expected increase in production, etc. "Outsourcing" may also mean a current part or item in production can be made elsewhere to lower costs.
In downtown Atlanta "outsourcing" is used in a "big" way. Coca-Cola USA in the 1990's saw the advantages and now the corporate accounting department is "outsourced", non-Coke employees hired through a "management oriented" firm. Coke pays a fee, workers are paid from the "management company", eliminating expenses for Coke, i.e., payroll, workers comp, benefits, etc. saving an abundance of "funds". The "management company" has their own "managers" and can release and replace employees, in a couple of hours. Coke has reported more production, timely assignments completed on-time, improved "audits", etc.
Most large banks/businesses/corporations in Atlanta are doing same in areas, such as, shipping/receiving, mail rooms, etc. These people are the best, highly qualified, are "screened, drug tested, background and credit report checked, etc.
The "positive", maintaining current location and employees improving operations with "skilled" employees not on payroll. Eliminates payroll, workers comp, benefits, etc., and allows owners/management to easily have replacements.
The "negative", may eliminate position(s). This may effect current employees promotion, increase in income, eliminate over-time. As employees are terminated, retire, laid off some positions may be eliminated. It is a FACT, "outsourcing" works, more highly trained personnel, better quality in production if a product or part is "outsourced", saves company money, eliminates possible law suits from employees. It also allows local employment to increase.
I have seen this with a lot of businesses. I understand it "works". So I trust in New York IT Outsourcing and recommend it to you.
