Outsourcing refers to the practice of obtaining services from another company for work that could have been accomplished within that company itself. Rather than have the work completed in-house, the company utilizes another company to do the work for them. In some cases, time constraints, an overload of work, or the opportunity to have the work accomplished for a lower cost is the motivation for outsourcing. For example, utilizing a third party’s resources for IT management can be less expensive if the company has not yet developed an in-house IT management team. Another example is the outsourcing of data storage needs when the company does not want to store and manage an in-house data storage system. Onshore outsourcing refers to the practice of obtaining services from outside the company but from inside the same country. Offshore outsourcing refers to the practice of obtaining services from a company or someone outside of the company as well as outside of the country.

Project management refers to the process of implementing a strategy that leads to the successful completion of a project. It involves setting up a plan, organising the work and materials, and managing the existing resources in order to bring about a successful completion to the project. The goals and objectives of the project should be clearly defined during the planning stages. Since all projects should have a finite existence, a specific starting date and a specific completion date should also be determined during the planning stages.
It is important to note that the completion of the project can lead to the setting up of processes that might involve a continued presence of change within its framework. The successful organisation and management of the resources and strategies throughout the project management process are continually challenged by the scope, time factor, budget constraints, and desired quality of the completed project.

WMO or website management outsourcing refers to the practice of outsourcing the management of the website of one company (company A) to another company (company B). With WMO, company B takes over the online environment of the website for company A. Company B utilizes the skills and talents of its developers, designers, hosts, editors, project managers, and marketing experts to create and effectively manage the totality of company A’s online presence.
This practice of website management outsourcing allows companies without qualified technical staff to create an online presence that can effectively compete with other websites. In general, WMO services work in conjunction with the internal project team and staff members of company A in order to generate a website with the desired business requirements. WMO could involve the following tasks: the creation of micro-sites, the marketing of the site, the optimization of the site, content storage and manipulation, and changes in website functionality.
