Outsourcing has been a significant business practice in Brazil since the 1990s, particularly in IT, customer service, and business process management sectors. Brazilian companies frequently use the term 'terceirização' in formal and informal business contexts. In the USA, outsourcing became particularly prominent during the 2000s and remains a standard business strategy, though it is sometimes controversial due to concerns about job displacement and labor practices.
