In data entry work, the main problem with delegation to current employees is one of logistics. To enter data at a company’s office requires first of all, physical space, secondly, access to a computer terminal and thirdly, extra time spent on payroll and employer tax and deductions for the employees.

Many companies are now beginning to realize that outsourcing data entry work is a more economically viable alternative, reducing fixed costs such as extra space, heating and the costs of depreciation on their computer system and of course the extra electricity required which may not fit in with the ethos of an environmentally aware company.

There are many reasons why companies need data entry operatives, the most common being the updating and maintenance of database driven systems.
