Companies that fail to achieve outsourcing success often outsource the wrong functions, according to a report from business intelligence firm Cutting Edge Information.

The report reveals how companies including British Air, Barnes & Noble, Disney, American Express and GE Capital outsource non-critical functions and use the resource savings to focus on core competencies. These companies are best positioned to set and meet aggressive outsourcing goals.

"The world's best outsourcers understand where to create the most bang for the resource buck," says Cutting Edge Information CEO Jason Richardson. "Regardless of where you are in the outsourcing process, learning from the top companies will help you zero in on those activities that are critical to your business -- and those that can best be performed by others."

"Outsourcing From Strength," available at www.cuttingedgeinfo.com/FLReports/FL50_Outsourcing.htm features innovative practices from more than 50 companies across 20 industries. It reveals how companies slash costs and streamline operations by handing off their non-core work and details the strategies and tactics top organizations use to boost profitability through better vendor selection and relationships.
