Organizations that outsource are seeking to realize benefits or address the following issues:
Cost savings. The lowering of the overall cost of the service to the business. This will involve reducing the scope, defining quality levels, re-pricing, re-negotiation, cost re-structuring. Access to lower cost economies through offshoring called "labor arbitrage（劳动套利）" generated by the wage gap between industrialized and developing nations.

Cost restructuring. Operating leverage（营业杠杆） is a measure that compares fixed costs to variable costs. Outsourcing changes the balance of this ratio by offering a move from fixed to variable cost and also by making variable costs more predictable.

Improve quality. Achieve a step change（逐步改变） in quality through contracting out the service with a new service level agreement.

Knowledge. Access to intellectual property and wider experience and knowledge.

Contract. Services will be provided to a legally binding contract with financial penalties and legal redress（纠正，赔偿）. This is not the case with internal services.

Operational expertise. Access to operational best practice（最优方法） that would be too difficult or time consuming to develop in-house.
