Secondly, the outsourcing of the part of non-core activities will allow not diverting personal employees for activities that are not corresponding to their professional aspirations.

Fourthly, specifically, companies that specialize in a particular kind of IT services possess the most advanced technologies, because, for them, the use of these technologies is a key success factor. Finally, the transferring of the app development on the outsourced software testing services will allow not keeping in the IT-unit the staff of developers that will allow avoiding problems associated with managing them.
