Smart Australian small businesses are now outsourcing. Obscurity, linux

Can you outsource something from your business ?

Smart Australian businesses are using overseas sources for full colour business cards , stationery and advertising materials like flyers.

Other small service providers like doctors are finding that outsourcing secretarial and transcription services makes sense.

Not only are dollars saved, the quality of service is far better and delivers a compebreastive advantage.

Service providers like Phillip Cremer find that his referring GPs are far happier with getting a written response from him in two days instead of six to eight weeks as it did with the previous locally based service

"Now it's Australian doctors outsourcing medical transcription services to India. From his room in the Royal North Shore Hospital in Sydney, Dr Phillip Cremer, specialist neurologist and neuro-otologist, sends his digital voice recordings of patient notes to India, where they are transcribed and returned within 48 hours as Microsoft Word files under his letterhead.

Dr Cremer, who has availed of many Australian-based transcription services during his 20-year career claims, "None were of this high quality and efficiency. In the past, I have used a whole range of medical secretaries and the system was insufficient. Sometimes there was a backlog of up to six to eight weeks for letters to be sent to GPs, which in medical practice is unacceptable. I have to write 120 letters a week and the new patient letters take a long time.
