Even if you think AI search could be good, it won’t be good

TONIGHT (May 15), I'm in NORTH HOLLYWOOD for a screening of STEPHANIE KELTON'S FINDING THE MONEY; FRIDAY (May 17), I'm at the INTERNET ARCHIVE in SAN FRANCISCO to keynote the 10th anniversary of the AUTHORS ALLIANCE.

The big news in search this week is that Google is continuing its transition to "AI search" – instead of typing in search terms and getting links to websites, you'll ask Google a question and an AI will compose an answer based on things it finds on the web:

https://blog.google/products/search/generative-ai-google-search-may-2024/

Google bills this as "let Google do the googling for you." Rather than searching the web yourself, you'll delegate this task to Google. Hidden in this pitch is a tacit admission that Google is no longer a convenient or reliable way to retrieve information, drowning as it is in AI-generated spam, poorly labeled ads, and SEO garbage:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/03/keyword-swarming/#site-reputation-abuse

Googling used to be easy: type in a query, get back a screen of highly relevant results. Today, clicking the top links will take you to sites that paid for placement at the top of the screen (rather than the sites that best match your query). Clicking further down will get you scams, AI slop, or bulk-produced SEO nonsense.

AI-powered search promises to fix this, not by making Google search results better, but by having a bot sort through the search results and discard the nonsense that Google will continue to serve up, and summarize the high quality results.

Now, there are plenty of obvious objections to this plan. For starters, why wouldn't Google just make its search results better? Rather than building a LLM for the sole purpose of sorting through the garbage Google is either paid or tricked into serving up, why not just stop serving up garbage? We know that's possible, because other search engines serve really good results by paying for access to Google's back-end and then filtering the results:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/#kagi

Another obvious objection: why would anyone write the web if the only purpose for doing so is to feed a bot that will summarize what you've written without sending anyone to your webpage? Whether you're a commercial publisher hoping to make money from advertising or subscriptions, or – like me – an open access publisher hoping to change people's minds, why would you invite Google to summarize your work without ever showing it to internet users? Nevermind how unfair that is, think about how implausible it is: if this is the way Google will work in the future, why wouldn't every publisher just block Google's crawler?

A third obvious objection: AI is bad. Not morally bad (though maybe morally bad, too!), but technically bad. It "hallucinates" nonsense answers, including dangerous nonsense. It's a supremely confident liar that can get you killed:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/sep/01/mushroom-pickers-urged-to-avoid-foraging-books-on-amazon-that-appear-to-be-written-by-ai

The promises of AI are grossly oversold, including the promises Google makes, like its claim that its AI had discovered millions of useful new materials. In reality, the number of useful new materials Deepmind had discovered was zero:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/23/maximal-plausibility/#reverse-centaurs

This is true of all of AI's most impressive demos. Often, "AI" turns out to be low-waged human workers in a distant call-center pretending to be robots:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/31/neural-interface-beta-tester/#tailfins

Sometimes, the AI robot dancing on stage turns out to literally be just a person in a robot suit pretending to be a robot:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/01/29/pay-no-attention/#to-the-little-man-behind-the-curtain

The AI video demos that represent "an existential threat to Hollywood filmmaking" turn out to be so cumbersome as to be practically useless (and vastly inferior to existing production techniques):

https://www.wheresyoured.at/expectations-versus-reality/

But let's take Google at its word. Let's stipulate that:

a) It can't fix search, only add a slop-filtering AI layer on top of it; and

b) The rest of the world will continue to let Google index its pages even if they derive no benefit from doing so; and

c) Google will shortly fix its AI, and all the lies about AI capabilities will be revealed to be premature truths that are finally realized.

AI search is still a bad idea. Because beyond all the obvious reasons that AI search is a terrible idea, there's a subtle – and incurable – defect in this plan: AI search – even excellent AI search – makes it far too easy for Google to cheat us, and Google can't stop cheating us.

Remember: enshittification isn't the result of worse people running tech companies today than in the years when tech services were good and useful. Rather, enshittification is rooted in the collapse of constraints that used to prevent those same people from making their services worse in service to increasing their profit margins:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/03/26/glitchbread/#electronic-shelf-tags

These companies always had the capacity to siphon value away from business customers (like publishers) and end-users (like searchers). That comes with the territory: digital businesses can alter their "business logic" from instant to instant, and for each user, allowing them to change payouts, prices and ranking. I call this "twiddling": turning the knobs on the system's back-end to make sure the house always wins:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/02/19/twiddler/

What changed wasn't the character of the leaders of these businesses, nor their capacity to cheat us. What changed was the consequences for cheating. When the tech companies merged to monopoly, they ceased to fear losing your business to a competitor.

Google's 90% search market share was attained by bribing everyone who operates a service or platform where you might encounter a search box to connect that box to Google. Spending tens of billions of dollars every year to make sure no one ever encounters a non-Google search is a cheaper way to retain your business than making sure Google is the very best search engine:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/02/21/im-feeling-unlucky/#not-up-to-the-task

Competition was once a threat to Google; for years, its mantra was "competition is a click away." Today, competition is all but nonexistent.

Then the surveillance business consolidated into a small number of firms. Two companies dominate the commercial surveillance industry: Google and Meta, and they collude to rig the market:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedi_Blue

That consolidation inevitably leads to regulatory capture: shorn of competitive pressure, the companies that dominate the sector can converge on a single message to policymakers and use their monopoly profits to turn that message into policy:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/06/05/regulatory-capture/

This is why Google doesn't have to worry about privacy laws. They've successfully prevented the passage of a US federal consumer privacy law. The last time the US passed a federal consumer privacy law was in 1988. It's a law that bans video store clerks from telling the newspapers which VHS cassettes you rented:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Privacy_Protection_Act

In Europe, Google's vast profits lets it fly an Irish flag of convenience, thus taking advantage of Ireland's tolerance for tax evasion and violations of European privacy law:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/05/15/finnegans-snooze/#dirty-old-town

Google doesn't fear competition, it doesn't fear regulation, and it also doesn't fear rival technologies. Google and its fellow Big Tech cartel members have expanded IP law to allow it to prevent third parties from reverse-engineer, hacking, or scraping its services. Google doesn't have to worry about ad-blocking, tracker blocking, or scrapers that filter out Google's lucrative, low-quality results:

https://locusmag.com/2020/09/cory-doctorow-ip/

Google doesn't fear competition, it doesn't fear regulation, it doesn't fear rival technology and it doesn't fear its workers. Google's workforce once enjoyed enormous sway over the company's direction, thanks to their scarcity and market power. But Google has outgrown its dependence on its workers, and lays them off in vast numbers, even as it increases its profits and pisses away tens of billions on stock buybacks:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/25/moral-injury/#enshittification

Google is fearless. It doesn't fear losing your business, or being punished by regulators, or being mired in guerrilla warfare with rival engineers. It certainly doesn't fear its workers.

Making search worse is good for Google. Reducing search quality increases the number of queries, and thus ads, that each user must make to find their answers:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/24/naming-names/#prabhakar-raghavan

If Google can make things worse for searchers without losing their business, it can make more money for itself. Without the discipline of markets, regulators, tech or workers, it has no impediment to transferring value from searchers and publishers to itself.

Which brings me back to AI search. When Google substitutes its own summaries for links to pages, it creates innumerable opportunities to charge publishers for preferential placement in those summaries.

This is true of any algorithmic feed: while such feeds are important – even vital – for making sense of huge amounts of information, they can also be used to play a high-speed shell-game that makes suckers out of the rest of us:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/11/for-you/#the-algorithm-tm

When you trust someone to summarize the truth for you, you become terribly vulnerable to their self-serving lies. In an ideal world, these intermediaries would be "fiduciaries," with a solemn (and legally binding) duty to put your interests ahead of their own:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/07/treacherous-computing/#rewilding-the-internet

But Google is clear that its first duty is to its shareholders: not to publishers, not to searchers, not to "partners" or employees.

AI search makes cheating so easy, and Google cheats so much. Indeed, the defects in AI give Google a readymade excuse for any apparent self-dealing: "we didn't tell you a lie because someone paid us to (for example, to recommend a product, or a hotel room, or a political point of view). Sure, they did pay us, but that was just an AI 'hallucination.'"

The existence of well-known AI hallucinations creates a zone of plausible deniability for even more enshittification of Google search. As Madeleine Clare Elish writes, AI serves as a "moral crumple zone":

https://estsjournal.org/index.php/ests/article/view/260

That's why, even if you're willing to believe that Google could make a great AI-based search, we can nevertheless be certain that they won't.

DeepSeek R1 First Impressions

DeepSeek R1 is almost as good as me at belabored exhaustive analysis and application of C89 rules. For practical purposes, it's equally good.

I asked: "How would you implement zig-zag encoding in strictly portable C89?" It was spitting out thinking output for at least a minute, but it got a basically-perfect solution on first try:

unsigned int zigzag_encode(int n) { return (((unsigned int)n << 1) ^ ((n < 0) ? -1 : 0); }

It also provided a `zigzag_encode_long`.

Note that this code will optimize on modern C compilers to the best assembly you could write. There is no branch in the produced code with even just `-O1` (`clang`, `gcc`), the branch is how we portably tell the compiler the right idea.

The only thing DeepSeek did "wrong" vs the above, was redundantly add an `(unsigned int)` cast to the `-1`. I mentioned this as I would to a person: that the usual arithmetic conversions would take care of it at the `^`. It reasoned the rest on its own: yes, because the left operand is already at least an unsigned int, so integer promotion will make the left side an unsigned int as well.

We talked at length about how we can prove that the above is portable to the most pathological C89-conformant implementations. It kept taking longer to "think", but it didn't show any weakness until the very last question.

I asked it to help me rigorously prove if the maximum value of unsigned integers is required by the C standard to be a Mersenne number (2^n-1). To have all bits one, that is.

What if an implementation just decided to arbitrarily not use one or more of the top values? I.e., why not `#define UINT_MAX 0xFFFFFFFE`?

DeepSeek R1 didn't seem to conceive of this possibility until I made it explicit. (But it did a great job of ruling out all others.)

Finally, it gave a longer, non-trivial argument, which I don't find convincing. Basically, it seemed to be saying that since integers used "pure binary representation", and every value bit could be either one or zero, well then the maximum value always has all value bits one - in other words, it seemingly assumed that just because each value bit individually was allowed to be one or zero, the possibility of them all being one at once must be both legal and used to represent a distinct value.

I see a shorter argument, which follows directly from what the standard does say: C89 has two definitions of `~`:

flip all the bits;

subtract from maximum value of that unsigned integer type.

The only way both can be true at once is if the maximum value is all value bits one. DeepSeek R1 agreed.

So what does this all mean?

This is an insane level of competence in an extremely niche field. Less than a year ago I tested LLAMA on this, and LLAMA and I didn't even get past me hand-holding it through several portability caveats. DeepSeek R1 and I just had a full-blown conversation that most devs I've talked to couldn't have with me. DeepSeek R1 managed to help me think in an extremely niche area where I'm basically a world-class expert (since the area in question is C89 portability, "world-class expert" is derogatory, but still).

If it's this good in one domain, it's this good in most domains. I bet it can do comparably well in Python, Go, JavaScript, C++, and so on.

In other words, it's already better than many devs in areas like this. I've seen plenty of devs making 6-figure USD salaries who didn't bother to know any of their day job tech stack this deeply. There's a market adjustment coming. Knowledge and expertise are about to become dirt-cheap commodities.

AI will eat current software dev jobs even faster than even I thought - and I already thought it would be sooner than most expect. Meanwhile, much of the industry is busy rationalizing from human intuition and ignorance that it just can't happen.

For years I've thought that the future is human devs delegating to teams of AI. That future is almost upon us, and this AI is good enough that I will be seriously experimenting with making that future a reality. I think if you hack together the right script to hook it up to a sandbox with dev tools, and prompt it just right... you might already be able to get this thing to actually do useful dev work.

Trusted outsource software development teams - SSTech System

Outsource software development is the practice of relinquishing software-related duties to outside singularities or organizations. Outsourcing is used by firms to acquire software services and products from outside firms that do not have direct employees or employees under contract to the business entity that is outsourcing.

Infect, the outsourcing market worldwide is projected to grow by 8.28% (2025-2029) resulting in a market volume of US$812.70bn in 2029. This model is highly versatile and suits businesses of all sizes.

Start-ups often use outsourcing to develop MVPs quickly, while established companies might seek custom software development services or AI outsourcing services to address complex challenges. Outsourcing can include working with offshore development teams, global software development partners, or local experts like Australian software development experts for specific projects.

The benefits of outsourcing software development

Outsourcing has become a cornerstone for modern businesses due to its numerous advantages. Here’s a closer look at the key benefits:

1. Cost efficiency

Perhaps the biggest incentive for sourcing solutions from outsourcing service providers is the cost cutting factor. For instance, offshore software development in India provides expertise services at comparatively lower cost than that of in-house developed services in Western countries. This efficiency enable the enactments of cost savings in some other strategic sectors of the organization.

2. Access to global talent

Outsourcing can help to discover the wealth of new talents as well as the skills of professionals from other countries. No matter Whether it’s AI and machine learning integration, web application development in Australia, or outsourced healthcare software development, businesses can find experts in virtually any domain.

3. Scalability and flexibility

Outsourcing offers flexibility that is unparalleled in many organizations today. This is because; firms are able to expand and contract particular teams depending on the specific demand in projects. For example, outsourced IT solutions help business organizations prepare for different conditions while not having to employ permanent workers.

4. Faster time-to-market

With reliable software development teams in Australia or offshore development teams in India, businesses can speed up their project timelines. This helps innovations to make it through to the market early enough, which is useful for companies.

5. Focus on core activities

By delegating tasks like software maintenance and support or cloud software development in Australia to outsourcing partners, businesses can focus on their core competencies and strategic goals.

6. Reduced risk

In-house staff and trained outsourcing partners come with best practices, methods and procedures which when implemented reduce the chances of project hitch. Working with the top-rated IT outsourcing companies in Australia gives you confidence that your project is in safe hands.

Choosing the right outsourced software development partner

In the period from 2023 to 2027, the revenue of software outsourcing is forecasted to thrive at a CAGR of 7.54%. So, outsourcing partner selection is one of the most vital components since it determines the success of a given venture. Here are essential factors to consider:

1. Technical expertise

Check the partner’s competency and his knowledge of the field.  For instance, SSTech System Outsourcing offers comprehensive solutions, from AI development services in India to mobile app development outsourcing in Australia.

2. Proven track record

Look for partners with a strong portfolio and positive client testimonials. A proven track record in delivering custom software development services or managing outsourcing software development contracts is a good indicator of reliability.

3. Effective communication

Effective and open communication is extremely important if the project is to be successful. Work with people who give frequent reports and employ efficient media to overcome the differences in time areas.

4. Cultural compatibility

There has to be a cultural match or at least appreciation for each other’s customs for there to be harmony in the working relationship. As such, staffed with proficient Australia software development experts or offshore development teams, whose experience is to work on global markets can coordinate and blend well with your work culture.

5. Security and compliance

You have to make sure that your partner complies with the standards and the policies that are in the industry. This is especially substantial for all information-sensitive projects such as outsourced healthcare software development or cloud software development in Australia.

6. Scalable infrastructure

Choose a partner capable of scaling their resources and infrastructure to meet your project’s evolving needs. This is crucial for long-term collaborations, especially with global software development partners.

AI-powered tools for outsourced development teams

According to a report from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, software development ranks among the most sought-after professions. Hence, AI is at the forefront of reshaping the outsourcing industry. Therefore, the implementation of artificial intelligence will add value to business processes, make workflow easier, and boost the results of projects. Here are some examples:

1. Automated code reviews

Tools like DeepCode and SonarQube assist outsourced teams in detecting whether errors reside in the code line or not, and whether code needs to be enriched or not. This is particularly accurate concerning AI outsourcing and in-house development industries.

2. Predictive analytics

Automated analytics tools can predict such things as the time it will take to complete the project, how much money it will cost, and what risks are possible in a software development outsourcing scenario.

3. Smart project management

Tools and platforms such as Jira and Monday.com, when empowered with AI, allow the coordination of tasks and the tracking of progress and resource allocation.

4. AI collaboration tools

Communication and collaboration with internal members and offshore software development Australia partners get facilitated through applications that include, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and zoom with integrated AI functions.

5. Natural Language Processing (NLP)

AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants simplify communication and issue resolution, making them valuable for managing outsourced IT solutions.

Best practices for managing outsourced development teams

Outsourced teams should be mandated and coordinated following a number of recommendations to ensure the efficiency of the entirety of the outsourcing process.

Here are the best practices to ensure your project’s success:

1. Set clear objectives

Make it clear to your project team, stakeholders, and other relevant parties what the parameters of the project are, what it is that you expect out of it, and what you expect to get from it in return. This fostaines consistency between your team and the outsourcing partner to increase efficiency in service delivery.

2. Choose the right tools

Use project tracking and collaboration software approaches to track and evaluate progress and meet regular informality and collaboration targets.

3. Foster a collaborative environment

It is worthy of note that constant communication is key to ensuring that your outsourcing team is on the same page with you. Fresh produce and feedback mechanisms need to be provided in order for there to be trust as is needed in project management.

4. Draft comprehensive contracts

There should be a comprehensive outsourcing software development contract. It should address issues to do with confidentiality, ownership of ideas and concepts, plea structure and mode of handling disputes.

5. Focus on long-term relationships

Building a long-term partnership with trusted providers like SSTech System Solutions can lead to consistent quality and better project outcomes.

Conclusion

Master Time Management

One of the first steps toward increased productivity is effective time management. Renowned publications like Harvard Business Review emphasize that time management is more about big-picture strategic planning rather than just everyday life hacks. It starts with setting clear priorities and understanding the difference between urgent and important tasks.

Here's how to get started:

Begin each week by mapping out major assignments, exams, and other obligations.

Utilize digital calendars and task management tools to keep everything organized.

Avoid multitasking as it can reduce the quality of your work and lead to burnout.

Develop a Study Routine

Studying efficiently is paramount for students who aim to grasp complex economic models and business strategies. Customizing a study plan that fits your learning style can significantly increase your retention and understanding.

Try these tips:

Dedicate specific times of the day to study when you're least likely to be interrupted.

Break down study material into manageable sections to avoid overwhelm.

Use active learning techniques such as teaching concepts to a peer or creating your own exam questions.

Utilize Multiple Choice Question Solvers

For exams, particularly those involving multiple-choice questions, students can benefit from technological advancements such as AI-powered multiple choice questions solvers. These tools can provide practice quizzes and instant feedback, which is essential for mastering the material.

Consider these benefits:

Immediate results help to quickly identify areas where more review is needed.

They resemble real exam formats, aiding in practice under timed conditions.

Some solvers can even offer detailed explanations for answers, enhancing your learning curve.

Enhance Productivity with Tech Tools

In the age of remote learning and digital tools, harnessing technology is vital for staying ahead. Many apps and software are designed to help with note-taking, project management, and collaboration. Our very own College Tools has a range of features that seamlessly integrate with your workflow in any Learning Management System.

Focus on tools that:

Allow for efficient note-taking and information organization.

Enable project collaboration in real-time with peers or instructors.

Offer customization to tailor the functionalities according to your productivity needs.

Balance Work and Leisure

As much as productivity is about working efficiently, it's also about resting effectively. Business and economics students should not underestimate the power of proper rest and leisure activities in maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Here's how you can achieve balance:

Schedule breaks and leisure activities just as you would academic tasks.

Engage in activities that are completely unrelated to your studies to give your mind a break.

Practice regular self-care routines to ensure you're mentally and physically well.

Strategies from Industry Leaders

Emulating the productivity tactics of successful business leaders can also be enlightening. Outlets such as Forbes detail various approaches taken by industry professionals which can be adapted to your student life.

Key takeaways include:

Strict prioritization to allocate your best hours to the most critical tasks.

Delegation skills, which in a student context, means seeking help when you're overwhelmed, perhaps in the form of a study group.

Continuous learning and improvement, as productivity is a skill that can always be developed further.

Effective Use of Breaks

According to Lifehack, short breaks can play a significant role in maintaining productivity over long study sessions. Students should take regular breaks to stay focused and rested.

To make the most of your breaks:

Step away from your study area to ensure a change of environment.

Use techniques such as the Pomodoro Technique to structure time periods of focused study and rest.

Engage in activities that are rejuvenating, whether it's a quick walk outside or a brief meditation session.

The journey to becoming highly productive is a personal one, and what works for one student may not be as effective for another. It's important to try different strategies, measure your progress, and tweak your approach accordingly. Whether it's streamlining your study habits or harnessing the potential of digital tools, every small step towards increased productivity paves the path for success in the dynamic fields of business and economics.

[littleeyesofpallas]

Maybe the most laughably damning irony of the stupid AI bros is actually just how practical the tool they keep trying to deify actually is.

Like, there are REAL benefits it could have to actual artists if the front loading of ethical data to build off of wasn't just kind of tedious and cumbersome--as in the effort it would take to just make enough of your own art to be able to train an AI on it and only it, without having to steal and scrape and scavenge and cannibalize other people's art without their permission, is just having a robust working portfolio of art, at which point when you've made that much, what do you even need the AI for?

But with only the most surface level tinkering with some of those programs myself, I can see a dozen different ways to incorporate it into an artist's workflow, or to even build an AI dependent workflow out of the different functions and the mix of not just stupid guided prompts, but actual legally obtained reference material, original photography, spot filling, and that could pretty reliably produce quality work. And not a single one of these idiot AI evangelists has figured any of that out. Because even on the most basic levels they lack imagination, not just artistically, but just on a basic problem solving level they have no idea how to do anything that isn't pressing a button and receive free shit.

Like, ultimately the hypothetical benefits of AI as a tool aren't really about using it the way an artist uses a "tool," it's about managing/delegating work flow the way an art director breaks down a project into its constituent parts and priorities across departments, only idiots tech bros think it's the only tool and the only department and only step they need.

Like ultimately yeah the broad strokes of the anti-AI argument are still pretty watertight, but it's just so funny to me that we constantly have to argue against this bullshit as if it's they're making the best argument the stance can provide, and they're SO not managing to do even that.

Why Outsourced Accounting Service is Best for Small Businesses in 2025

As of 2025, small businesses are undergoing a very rapid change, and accounting outsourcing services for small businesses is an imperative step. The size of the global finance and accounting outsourcing services market is set to reach $81.25 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.21%. More importantly, 37% of United States small and medium enterprises outsource accounting as of 2025 at a cost saving of 20% to 60%.

This is an indicator that indicates that outsourced accounting services are no longer a luxury but a rational and practical move for small business ventures to acquire professional services at reasonable prices.

Why Small Enterprises are Turning to Outsourced Accounting Services

Small business owners are handling all sorts of activities from sales and operations to customer relations, while maintaining their books accurate and compliant. The sophisticated bookkeeping processes of financial statements, tax compliance, and payroll are tedious and require special knowledge. Hence, most of them are embracing the trend of using finance and accounting outsourcing.

There are some factors driving this change:

Cost Effectiveness: A permanent accountant comes with salaries, benefits, office costs, and software licenses. Outsourcing enables companies to pay for only utilized services that normally equate to 20%-60% savings.

Expertise: The outsourced employees possess experienced experts well familiar with all the current tax rules and regulations, a facility too time-consuming or costly for in-house personnel.

Emphasis on Core Business: Delegation of accounting saves time, which is utilized by owners in marketing, product development, and business expansion instead of wasting it in ledgers.

Scalability and Flexibility: Activities can be scaled up during season or months to provide support for growth or during tax months and scaled down during off-season months.

Technology and Security: The big boys use cloud-based technology, automation, and advanced cybersecurity features that give the small business best-of-class features without any capital expenditure.

Benefits of Outsourced Accounting and Bookkeeping Services for Small Business

Below are some of the advantages of using outsourced accounting and bookkeeping services for your small business:

1. Cost Savings Without Sacrifice

The most apparent benefit is cost savings. Outsourcing is less expensive in terms of employee recruitment, training, and having a full-time workforce, and high overheads like software licensing and real estate. The cost savings can range from 20% to 60%, depending on work nature and location of the service provider.

2. Access to Specialist Financial Professionals

Outsourcing enables companies to hire accounting services of professionals with specialized certifications and continuous training. The professionals are trained with recent accounting procedures, tax regulations, and policy directives.

3. Time to Focus on Building the Business

Accounting and bookkeeping work is able to absorb valuable hours of time each week. Outsourcing enables the owners and employees to use the hours on the critical business tasks such as customer acquisition, product development, and sales that have a direct impact on growth.

4. Increased Flexibility

Business cycles are unpredictable, as some months are more productive than others. Outsourcing accounting provides the flexibility to assist when needed. This is almost impossible when using fixed in-house staff and is a major benefit when peak seasons or business expansion are present.

5. Making use of state-of-the-art technology

Outsourcing providers invest in top-tier cloud infrastructures, AI-enabled automation, and real-time reporting tools. All these technologies are made available to small firms without the enormous upfront cost.

6. Better Data Protection

Small businesses place a high value on cybersecurity. Best-outsourcing providers employ encryption, multi-factor authentication, and secure cloud storage to protect sensitive financial information, a security level that perhaps non-IT in-house staff of small size cannot provide.

7. Risk Reduction and Regulatory Compliance

Tax regulation and law update on a daily basis in 2025. Federal, state, and local legal compliance is safeguarded by outsourcing experts, reducing audit risk and cost penalty. Such protection is especially useful to small businesses which do not possess a department that is specialized in compliance.

What Small Businesses Can Expect from the Outsourced Accounting Services

Payment Terms: Specify pricing model (fixed, hourly, etc.), payment schedule, and invoicing procedures.

Intellectual Property (IP) Rights: Crucially, ensure that you retain full ownership of all code, designs, and assets developed for your project.

Confidentiality & Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): Protect your sensitive information and business ideas.

Service Level Agreements (SLAs): Define performance expectations, response times for issues, and maintenance terms.

Warranty & Bug Fixes: Clarify post-launch support and bug resolution.

Dispute Resolution: Outline procedures for addressing conflicts.

Exit Strategy: While optimistic, consider terms for terminating the agreement if necessary.

Step 6: Establish Robust Communication & Project Management Protocols

Even with the best offshore app development partner, poor communication can derail a project.

Communication Channels: Agree on primary tools (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Zoom) and secondary ones (email).

Regular Meetings: Schedule consistent stand-ups, weekly progress reviews, and monthly strategic syncs.

Project Management Tools: Utilize platforms like Jira, Trello, Asana, or Monday.com for task tracking, progress monitoring, and issue management. Ensure both sides have access and actively use them.

Documentation: Maintain clear, shared documentation for all decisions, changes, and progress updates.

Feedback Loops: Establish a clear process for providing and receiving feedback on deliverables. Be constructive and timely.

Cultural Sensitivity: Be mindful of cultural nuances and communication styles, especially with outsource app development to India or other distant regions.

2025 Insight: Leverage AI-powered project management tools and communication platforms that offer real-time translation or automated summaries to bridge gaps and enhance efficiency, supporting scalable app development for enterprises.

III. What Not to Outsource (A Critical Consideration)

While outsourcing app development offers immense benefits, some elements are best kept in-house:

Core Business Strategy & Vision: Your company's unique value proposition and strategic direction must always remain within your internal leadership.

Deep Customer Understanding: While outsourced teams can contribute, the intimate understanding of your customers and market nuances is best cultivated in-house.

Key Stakeholder Management: Building relationships with crucial investors, partners, or internal departments typically requires internal resources.

Customer Service Outsourcing: What, How, and When

In an era where customer experience can make or break a brand, companies are increasingly exploring ways to enhance their support services without escalating costs. One of the most effective strategies is customer service outsourcing, a practice that has gained significant traction across industries. This approach involves contracting external service providers to manage customer interactions, enabling businesses to focus on their core operations while ensuring their customers receive consistent, high-quality support.

Understanding Customer Service Outsourcing

At its core, customer service outsourcing means entrusting a third-party vendor with the responsibility of handling customer inquiries, complaints, technical support, and other related tasks. These interactions can span multiple channels, including phone calls, emails, live chat, social media, and even SMS. Outsourcing providers often operate dedicated call centers staffed with trained agents who specialize in various industries, allowing for tailored customer support experiences.

The scope of outsourcing can vary widely. Some companies outsource their entire customer service function, while others opt for hybrid models where internal teams handle complex or sensitive issues, and routine queries are delegated externally. This flexibility allows businesses to scale their support operations up or down based on demand fluctuations, such as seasonal spikes or product launches.

Benefits of Customer Service Outsourcing

One of the primary advantages of customer service outsourcing is cost efficiency. Maintaining an in-house support team requires significant investment in recruitment, training, infrastructure, and technology. Outsourcing shifts many of these costs to the vendor, who can leverage economies of scale and operate in lower-cost regions. This often results in substantial savings without compromising service quality.

Moreover, outsourcing grants access to a global talent pool. Providers typically employ agents fluent in multiple languages and familiar with diverse cultural nuances, which is especially beneficial for companies serving international markets. This multicultural expertise helps improve customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

Another key benefit is the ability to leverage advanced technologies. Leading outsourcing firms invest heavily in AI-driven tools, CRM systems, and analytics platforms that enhance agent productivity and provide valuable insights into customer behavior. These technologies enable personalized service, faster issue resolution, and proactive engagement.

When to Consider Customer Service Outsourcing

Deciding when to outsource customer service depends on various factors. Companies experiencing rapid growth may find it challenging to scale their internal teams quickly enough to meet rising demand. Outsourcing can provide immediate capacity without the delays associated with hiring and training.

Businesses facing high turnover rates in their support teams might also benefit from outsourcing, as vendors typically have more robust retention strategies and career development programs. Additionally, organizations looking to enter new geographic markets can leverage outsourcing partners with local expertise and infrastructure.

However, outsourcing is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Companies with highly specialized or sensitive customer interactions may prefer to keep support in-house to maintain control and confidentiality. It is essential to conduct a thorough cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment before making the transition.

Best Practices for Successful Outsourcing

To maximize the advantages of customer service outsourcing, organizations should follow several best practices:

Select the Right Partner: Evaluate vendors based on their industry experience, technological capabilities, security compliance, and cultural fit.

Define Clear SLAs: Establish measurable performance metrics such as response times, resolution rates, and customer satisfaction scores.

Maintain Regular Communication: Foster collaboration through frequent meetings, feedback loops, and joint problem-solving sessions.

Invest in Training and Knowledge Sharing: Ensure the outsourced team is well-versed in your products, policies, and brand voice.

Leverage Technology: Utilize integrated platforms that provide real-time visibility into customer interactions and agent performance.

Conclusion

In summary, customer service outsourcing offers businesses a strategic avenue to enhance customer support while optimizing costs and operational flexibility. By understanding what it entails, how to implement it effectively, and when it is most appropriate, companies can build strong outsourcing partnerships that drive customer loyalty and competitive advantage.

Why Outsourcing Accounts Payable Is a Smart Move for Growing Businesses

In the dynamic world of business, where time and resources are increasingly scarce, companies—especially growing businesses—must focus on their core competencies to scale effectively. One of the most impactful ways to streamline operations and improve financial efficiency is by outsourcing accounts payable (AP).

Accounts payable is a crucial component of any company's financial structure. It involves the management of outgoing payments to vendors and suppliers. As businesses grow, the volume and complexity of transactions increase, often putting a strain on internal resources. This is where outsourcing can be a game-changer.

In this blog, we'll explore why outsourcing accounts payable is a smart move for growing businesses, diving deep into the benefits, potential challenges, and best practices.

What Is Accounts Payable Outsourcing?

Outsourcing accounts payable refers to delegating the task of managing vendor invoices, payment processing, reconciliation, and reporting to a third-party service provider. These firms specialize in financial operations and typically use a combination of human expertise and technology to deliver efficient AP solutions.

Whether it's a startup scaling rapidly or an SME trying to reduce operational overhead, AP outsourcing offers a strategic solution.

Key Benefits of Outsourcing Accounts Payable

1. Cost Efficiency

One of the most compelling reasons to outsource AP is the cost savings. Hiring, training, and retaining skilled accounting professionals is expensive. Add to that the infrastructure costs—software licenses, hardware, office space—and the bill quickly adds up.

Outsourcing offers access to a team of experts without the overhead. According to various financial studies, businesses can save 30-50% in operational costs by outsourcing their AP functions.

2. Improved Accuracy and Compliance

Manual processing is prone to errors: duplicate payments, missed deadlines, or incorrect data entry. These mistakes not only affect cash flow but also damage vendor relationships and expose the company to compliance risks.

Outsourcing partners use advanced AP automation tools that improve accuracy, ensure regulatory compliance (like GST, TDS, or VAT filings), and maintain detailed audit trails. This is especially critical for growing companies that may not have an internal compliance expert.

3. Scalability and Flexibility

As your business grows, so does the volume of invoices and payments. Handling this growth with a small in-house team can be chaotic and error-prone. An outsourced partner, however, can scale their services based on your needs—be it seasonal spikes or long-term expansion.

This scalability ensures you’re never understaffed or overpaying for underutilized services.

4. Access to Expertise and Technology

Outsourcing firms are often at the forefront of financial technology, offering cloud-based platforms, automation tools, and AI-driven insights that growing businesses may not afford independently.

You gain immediate access to:

E-invoicing and OCR scanning

Real-time dashboards

Automated three-way matching (PO, invoice, receipt)

Fraud detection algorithms

These technologies not only streamline operations but also offer valuable insights into spending patterns and vendor performance.

5. Faster Processing and Timely Payments

Late payments can result in penalties, missed discounts, and strained vendor relationships. Outsourced teams operate with defined SLAs (Service Level Agreements) ensuring that payments are processed promptly and systematically.

Some vendors even offer 24/7 service availability, ensuring that invoice processing doesn’t stop—regardless of time zones or holidays.

6. Enhanced Focus on Core Business

For growing companies, leadership should be focused on strategy, innovation, and customer experience—not bogged down with invoice approvals and reconciliations.

By outsourcing AP, businesses free up internal teams to concentrate on growth-driving activities. It reduces the burden on finance departments and enables better collaboration across other functions like procurement and operations.

7. Reduced Risk of Fraud

Accounts payable fraud is a growing concern for companies of all sizes. Insider threats, duplicate payments, or fictitious vendors can go unnoticed in a busy, under-resourced team.

Outsourcing firms implement strict internal controls, such as:

Segregation of duties

Multi-level invoice approvals

Secure data handling protocols

These systems significantly reduce the risk of fraud and protect your financial assets.

When Should You Consider Outsourcing?

Outsourcing AP is not a one-size-fits-all decision. Here are key indicators that it might be time:

Your AP volume has grown beyond your team's capacity

You're experiencing frequent payment errors or delays

You lack real-time visibility into outstanding liabilities

Internal AP costs are rising disproportionately

You want to modernize your finance function without heavy investment

If any of these resonate, it's a clear sign your business could benefit from a professional AP outsourcing partner.

Common Concerns and How to Address Them

Despite its advantages, some business leaders hesitate to outsource due to the following concerns:

1. Loss of Control

Concern: “Will I lose visibility or control over my finances?”

Solution: Reputable providers offer transparent dashboards, regular reports, and customized workflows that keep you in the driver’s seat. In fact, you may gain more control through better visibility and tracking.

2. Data Security Risks

Concern: “Is my financial data safe?”

Solution: Leading firms are compliant with ISO, GDPR, and SOC standards, ensuring secure data handling, storage, and transfer. Always vet your outsourcing partner's cybersecurity policies.

3. Quality of Service

Concern: “Will they understand my business well enough?”

Solution: Look for providers with industry-specific experience and check references. A well-chosen partner will take time to understand your vendor network, business cycles, and approval structures.

Best Practices for a Successful AP Outsourcing Strategy

To ensure a smooth transition and maximum ROI, follow these best practices:

Choose the Right Partner: Vet their industry expertise, technological capabilities, client testimonials, and service model.

Define Clear SLAs: Establish expectations around invoice turnaround times, reporting frequency, and accuracy rates.

Maintain Communication: Set up regular check-ins and access to a dedicated account manager.

Integrate Systems: Ensure that the AP system integrates well with your ERP, accounting software, or procurement tools.

Monitor KPIs: Track metrics like DPO (Days Payable Outstanding), invoice processing time, error rate, and early payment discounts captured.

Real-Life Example: A Growing Tech Startup

Take the case of a 3-year-old SaaS startup that recently secured Series A funding. With its vendor base expanding globally, the in-house finance team struggled to manage over 500 invoices monthly.

After outsourcing their AP function to a third-party specialist:

Invoice turnaround time dropped from 7 days to 2 days

Vendor satisfaction scores improved

They saved 40% on finance operation costs

Leadership could reallocate resources to support customer success and R&D

This is a prime example of how outsourcing AP creates operational and strategic advantages for growth-focused businesses.

Conclusion

Outsourcing accounts payable is not just a cost-cutting tactic—it's a strategic move that helps growing businesses scale faster, operate more efficiently, and stay financially healthy.

In a world where agility and smart resource allocation are key to survival and success, delegating AP to a trusted partner allows companies to sharpen their competitive edge while maintaining strong financial governance.

If you're a growing business looking to enhance your financial processes, it may be time to consider outsourcing your accounts payable—because doing everything in-house is no longer the only smart choice.

Building a High-Performance Culture: Inside an Appraisal-Management Masterclass

Qatar’s pivot toward data-driven, agile HR practices is mirrored across the Gulf, but Abu Dhabi’s government and private-sector employers are moving especially fast to modernise performance reviews—replacing once-a-year scorecards with continuous, AI-supported feedback loops. This article explains why forward-looking HR teams need structured training in appraisal design, what a best-practice syllabus looks like, and how an Effective Performance Appraisal Management Course In Abu Dhabi equips managers to lead fair, growth-oriented reviews.

1 The New Rules of Performance Management

Annual ratings are out; “always-on” coaching is in. Surveys show 94 % of employees prefer real-time feedback and that firms with continuous check-ins see turnover drop by nearly 15 %.  Small and mid-size companies piloting fortnightly check-ins report sharper decision-making and faster skill development. Analysts expect AI-guided feedback frameworks (for example, the COIN model) to dominate appraisal systems by 2025. Research also confirms that positive, specific feedback boosts future performance more than criticism alone. 

1.1 Diversity & Inclusion Pressures

Bias-free reviews are now a governance priority: DEI-aligned systems use standardised criteria and self-assessment to reduce rating disparities and increase innovation. Transparent dashboards that let staff track goals in real time further reinforce fairness and engagement. 

1.2 Regional Imperatives

The UAE’s Vision 2031 and Emiratisation policies tie salary progression to demonstrable competence, amplifying demand for skilled appraisers who can link individual OKRs to national economic priorities. Local HR guides advise aligning KPIs with Federal Authority for Government Human Resources (FAHR) frameworks and scheduling mid-year reviews as formal checkpoints. 

2 Why Abu Dhabi Professionals Need This Course

Abu Dhabi’s workforce is one of the most culturally diverse in the world, spanning oil-and-gas engineers, fintech analysts, and public-sector project leaders. Tailored appraisal criteria ensure fair recognition across roles and backgrounds, but designing those criteria demands specialist know-how. Meanwhile, local HR tech adoption is surging—cloud platforms with predictive analytics require managers who can interpret the data and coach accordingly. A structured course therefore bridges three gaps: legal compliance, analytics literacy, and inclusive people skills.

3 Course Architecture and Outcomes

A leading syllabus in the emirate typically spreads over 40–60 contact hours, mixing workshops with tech labs and role-play. By the end, delegates can:

Map SMART or OKR goals to organisational and national strategies.

Conduct bias-aware, evidence-based appraisal dialogues that emphasise growth.

Deploy AI-powered tools to aggregate 360° feedback and visualise performance trends.

Draft legally compliant documentation in line with UAE labour codes.

4 Learning Formats and Assessment

Most providers combine interactive lectures, scenario-based simulations, and AI-enabled practice systems that let participants draft appraisal notes and receive instant clarity scores. Post-course certification often requires a proctored exam plus submission of a workplace project—for instance, redesigning one department’s review cycle and documenting turnover impact six months later. 

5 Return on Investment

Organizations implementing refreshed appraisal frameworks report:

20–30 % faster upskilling thanks to clear growth plans and coaching.

Up to 30 % reduction in voluntary attrition after adopting continuous feedback.

Sharper succession pipelines, aided by capability assessments that flag high-potential Emirati talent.

For individuals, mastery of appraisal science is a gateway skill: salaries for HR Business Partners with strong PM credentials in Abu Dhabi average AED 24,000 per month, ranking among the top quartile of HR compensation in the GCC. 

6 Final Thoughts

Performance conversations shape culture, productivity, and retention. As Abu Dhabi accelerates its transition to a knowledge economy, managers who can deliver evidence-based, bias-free, tech-enabled reviews will be indispensable. A rigorous appraisal-management course provides the framework, practice, and certification to meet that challenge—turning annual dread into year-round dialogue that unlocks both human potential and strategic impact.
