History
Outsourcing can be traced back to the 18th century and the principles of the division of labor and specialization championed by Adam Smith. Workers should focus their position according to their own specializations in order to be effective and efficient.
Online outsourcing and its subcategories follow the same principles of outsourcing that Smith highlighted. Through outsourcing a company can relieve itself of secondary tasks and concentrate on core issues, thus improving its efficiency. “Do what you can do best – Outsource the rest.“
Online outsourcing has its origins in the United States of America (USA), where it has been an established practice since the mid-1990s. In Europe, the model has found success since the development of the Internet in early 2000.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“We know only a single science, the science of history. One can look at history from two sides and divide it into the history of nature and the history of men. However, the two sides are not to be divided off; as long as men exist the history of nature and the history of men are mutually conditioned.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“What you don’t understand is that it is possible to be an atheist, it is possible not to know if God exists or why He should, and yet to believe that man does not live in a state of nature but in history, and that history as we know it now began with Christ, it was founded by Him on the Gospels.”
—Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)
“The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
—Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
