A first ordering customer () requests a first sheet metal processing factory () to make an estimate for manufacturing a product. The first sheet metal processing factory () requests an outsourcing center () to perform the work of making the estimate. The outsourcing center () logs in to a computer () of the first sheet metal processing factory via a computer () of the outsourcing center, and, by remote control, works together with the first sheet metal processing factory to perform outsourcing services such as making an estimate and creating NC process data. The processes of these remotely performed services are stored in memory constituting know-how and are then disclosed on a Web page. In this way, examples of previous work successes are introduced and thereby used for promoting CAD/CAM software used in the work processes.
