English term or phrase: Co-sourcing

Co-Sourcing
By and large, co-sourcing arrangement goes beyond cost-based arrangements, and involves limited forms of sharing of resources, business risks and rewards between the companies and the BPO providers. Whilst the processes are still primarily transaction-based, the focus is on a partnership approach, exploring win-win situations for both parties involved.

Explanation:
COSOURCING: When a corporation does not want to transfer responsibility for the facility function to a service provider, but desires the results that they have seen through outsourcing done by other companies. Based on a long-term relationship with an emphasis on values traditionally associated more with "partnering" than "vending."

What is cosourcing?
Cosourcing is an outsourcing software development method with the difference that:

* In cosourcing collaboration starts from the beginning of the product definition and design. The cosourcer's role is not limited to the development phase only.
* The full project management can even be carried out by the cosourcer.
* The cosourcer has more than just extra resources. The cosources has both Technical and Business expertise in the field of the application.

Moreover:

* Being specialized, the cosourcer can provide post-development support and maintenance services when required.
* When the cosourcer leverages on a geographically distributed team, cosourcing can achieve exceptional return on investment through cost reduction.

Why cosource?
There are three main reasons justifying a cosourcing:

* Limited resources: a company might lack the resources.
* Timing: a company might not have the time to develop a new product using just internal resources.
* Cost: the cost of cosourcing is much lower than an internal development.
