Answer to Question 2

Consequently, lack of knowledge will make it difficult to bring the outsourced service back in-house.
Expensive and risky to change vendorsBecause the vendor has become so tightly integrated into the business, parting company can be exceedingly risky. Because of such risk, the company must invest considerable work, duplication of effort, management time, and expense to change to another vendor.
