Within the past few years, the business world has seen an upsurge in outsourcing, particularly in the field of medical and technical writing. Outsourcing, the process of contracting a third party organization to undertake a business project, can strengthen your business and even save you money.

Here 5 outstanding reasons to outsource your next medical writing project:

1. Focus on your core business

A large amount of time and resources must be diverted from your core business each time you begin a new project. Outsourcing such projects to a third party team of experts both ensures the success of your project, and allows you the freedom to focus on your core business issues.

2. Reduce costs

Hiring in-house medical writers can yield many unexpected costs. In addition to their payroll salary, you are also responsible for medical insurance, vacation time, and worker’s compensation. Outsourcing your project to a company with their own team of skilled writers eliminates these added expenses while still providing superior writing services.

Furthermore, outsourcing often yields reduced overhead and operational costs, as well as reduced expenditures on software programs such as Adobe, CAD, and Office.

3. You are in control

Outsourcing writing to a third party organization ensures you will have full control over all aspects of your project, and helps to your business to honor deadlines and shorten time to market.

4. Ensure a team of experts

Partnering with specialized writing consultant teams ensures superior writing quality. Technical writing is their core business, and thus you can be sure they will have a team of experts to suit your project goals.

5. Mitigate risk

When you outsource your writing projects, you now share any risks with your parterners. Furthermore, if you are a company with high turn over rates, outsourcing will ensure only a select few writers will have access to your projects.
