Today many small to midsize companies are seeing the advantages of “going global” for product or labor. More and more they are seeing this is essential to keep stride with the larger multi national corporations. Up until recently the logistical aspects alone were enough to keep these small to mid sized companies out of the international outsourcing arena.

Traditionally to take advantages of the cheap labor or product available in the devolving nations like China and India companies were either required to establish physical locations in these countries or commit to high volume, long-term contracts.

Recently, small to mid sized companies have found an alternative that has enabled them to take advantage of the cost savings opportunities that come with outsourcing. New companies have begun to pop up, primarily in Asia that specialize in providing outsourcing services for SME’s (Small to Medium Size Enterprises). These companies are often run by expatriates, often from western countries, who work as a bridge between the SME’s and the inexpensive labor and product that they is available in these developing countries. Many of these outsourcing companies who specifically target SME’s don’t provide the labor or manufactured goods to the western companies but only work as the connecting point and communication hub between the two companies.

Smith Monitoring Inc. is a medium sized regional company based in Texas and is one such SME that has recently been able take advantage of these outsourcing bridging companies to help stay more competitive within the security industry. In 2009 they began using Chinese programmer for small graphic and web projects and after having good success have also began outsourcing many of its IT needs as well.

Smith currently boasts an over 50% reduction in costs for all services that they have had outsourced to China and because they have used an outsourcing bridging company that specializes in working with SME in western countries they have had no issues with quality or communication.

Over the past 15 years there has been a steady increase in professionals seeking to work from home. This has created a huge demand for work from home programs and with the advent of web marketing and e-commerce a market a window of opportunity was created for the work at home movement.

Many savvy web marketers made a fortune not just on the dot-com boom but also on the work at home craze. But just like the dot-com growth created an over saturation of e-commerce businesses and ensuing busting of the dot-com bubble in 2001, the over saturation from the work from home craze has called a bubble that seems to be busting as well.

The real winners in this booming industry have been the companies who produce the “Work From Home” programs. Many make claims that with little to no effort or time their program can create income sources to completely supplement a middle to upper-class income. Most programs have some element of truth with real success stories but upon further investigation potential clients will learn the success rates are extremely low. Most of these programs are based off of internet opportunities that if implemented 15 years ago could bring an individual a large amount of income in a short amount of time but today due to the over saturated nature of today’s e-commerce world these opportunities are simply no longer available.

The unfortunate part of this work from home bubble that has been created is that many good quality people have become so jaded about the work from home movement that they will stay completely out. The truth is that there are still many opportunities available for those seeking to work from home if the goal isn’t to get rich quick or work 2 hours per week.

Smith Monitoring Inc. is a great example of a midsized regional company that has been offering legitimate work from home opportunities. In 2008 they launched several work from home programs that currently include: customer service, accounting, sales and article marketing. There are many companies that are starting to see the advantages to using work from home subcontractor and due to tax benefits are willing to pay good money.
