Outsourcing
Business process (called also "externalization")
with which an enterprise it eliminates the management of part of the own productive activity,
of a service or one business function in order
to entrust of the management to an other enterprise (called outsourcer, that is provider).
The same expression of outsourcing also designates the contract, with which the provider it
is engaged to carry out that productive phase, that service or that business function to favor
of the first enterprise, using the structures and usually also the staff
eliminated from the same one;
such contract, also comprising performances similar to those of a sending or contract,
assumes in practical a its model.
In case the provider , for the development of the assignment entrusted in
outsourcing , it hires workers who already carried out the activity or service in the
resupplied enterprise, is discussed approximately the configuration of the operation like
cession of business branch (and, therefore, approximately the applicabilit� of the instruments
to protection of the workers previewed for this last case).
In the within of the Biagi reform of the job, it is previewed the loyal responsibility
between committente and contractor, with dismissal to the art. 1676 cod. civ., in the
case in which an enterprise it entrusts to other enterprise a contract to execute using
the yielded branch of enterprise (art. 32 of the d. lgs. 10 september 2003, n. 276,
that it has introduced 6� the codicil of the art. 2112 cod. civ.).
Outsourcing the servants in order to focus the enterprise on the main activity
(therefore can be approached to the operation of spin-off ), that is the c.d.
Core business and can also introduce itself in not entrepreneurial activities, like in the
case of Public Administration, for the confidence to thirds party of not characteristic services
of the same Administration (sees, from last,
the "externalization" of the services prescribed to the sanitary companies and hospitals worker
from the art. 49 of decree-law 30 september 2003, n. 269).
The operation in issue on a commission basis distinguishes from the productive decentralization, with which an enterprise it stops of being manufacturer of the own products, entrusting some the realization to many small enterprises (c.d. "terziste").
