How We Manage Outsourcing

- The Model and Methods Followed

Since outsourcing is to get the most out of the Key Competencies of an organisation, we focus on this on all aspects of the functioning of our organisation. In particular, we ourselves take advantage of this by outsourcing many parts of our work. Web Network has adopted a model for outsourcing management as given in the Figure below.
