As an HR Director, I may determine which business processes are good candidates for outsourcing and I would ensure the success of an outsourcing project in the following ways:
Thus, this is how I would determine the soundness of business process outsourcing in order to ensure the maximum benefits to the Organization especially with regards to the contingency plans and hence these business processes could be outsourced to gain various advantages.
The top three would be as under:
Criticality of the Operations: If the operations have less criticality segment in it, it shall be safer to outsource the same to certain other agency so that my Organization can focus upon its core business.

This specialization shall in turn raise the productivity of the employees and on the part of the Organization, the earnings could be maximized by tapping the core functions of the Organization.
Cost of Outsourcing: If the cost of undertaking certain activity all by ourselves is more than the cost involved in outsourcing of the same, besides the consideration to factors like time and efforts of the employees, then it makes more sense to outsource the activity and thereby maintain efficiency in the business operations.
