The document discusses the benefits of outsourcing eLearning development. It argues that outsourcing provides significant cost advantages through reduced fixed costs and estimated savings of 20-40% by outsourcing to India. Outsourcing also allows companies to focus on strategic goals rather than operational concerns, and improves scalability by making teams adaptable on demand without worrying about hiring. Finally, outsourcing increases reliability by leveraging vendors specialized in eLearning and reduces project risk through defined processes.
