Today outsourcing is so easy to do. Just about any and every job can be outsourced if not off-shored altogether. Technical support in India, manufacturing to China, labor in Mexico or even the virtual assistant taking the role of the in-person one.
Dan Roberts, CEO of Oulette and Associates, hits the nail on the head in his book "Unleashing the Power of IT". The critical factor about whether your job can be outsourced lies in how well you understand the strategy and core business of the company. Companies can hire an outside sales team, but they frequently don't because the sales people provide the foundation for a company's perceived value in the market place- their interaction with the customer is critical to the strategic success of the company.
Do you add value beyond the functional requirements of your team?
