Offshore in New Decade
For the multiple reasons, outsourcing has been a decades long process. This has mutually benefited the global businesses to take their business to the next level.There is likelihood of paradigm shift in outsourcing in the new decade (2011-20).
A few reasons why this may happen:
1. Businesses have matured immensely last decade and now better
understand the outsourcing & offshoring.
2. With the economical telecommunication and Internet availability, it is easier to locate cost effective resources & vendors all across the globe.
3. Consumer needs are ever expanding, so the need for being right there,is the necessity rather than a luxury for businesses.
So there is a need to create mature process of outsourcing & offshoring.
Outsourcing to India
India is amongst the top ranking countries providing outsourced services to global businesses. Specifically, the IT & ITES (IT enabled services), India has large pool of cost-effective & experienced human resources. Though it is generally spurred by the cost reduction factor, this is just one of the reasons one should consider offshore outsourcing.Most parties who outsource are unaware that Indian Service Providers do not just offer cost effective solutions, but also value addition by improving productivity and quality.
Offshore Outsourcing is not just about cost. One should understand the need for offshore outsourcing better before making a decision. Cost is definitely one of the main reasons for offshore outsourcing to India, but one should realize that this cost advantage may not be seen immediately. This cost advantage is seen over a period of time in an outsourcing venture which involves a committed relationship and
understanding between both parties involved. A recent article on IBM and outsourcing illustrates this.
"Outsourcing services companies frequently have to make substantial
investments in IT equipment, facilities and personnel. Yet IBM, HP and others prize these multi year contracts because they can help bolster higher-margin sales of hardware and software by creating a long-term,interdependent relationship with customers". ("IBM cements outsourcing dominance", CNET News.com)
So the aspect of saving money does exist, but one has to realize that
this should be possible over the long period of time.
There will be savings and along with these savings there is great value addition. Most who outsource only realize the quality and value addition after the offshore outsourcing relationship begins. This is not usually the primary goal when deciding to outsource, and the creativity and talent in India comes as a surprise to many.
Offshore Outsourcing to India is about quality and value addition at a reduced cost.
Why Outsource?
Cost Benefits
For companies who are still in there infancy, every penny spent, counts. They need to cut down on their costs. Outsourcing here would prove to be enormously beneficial. If you outsource to countries like India, where quality is available at a competent price, huge reduction in costs is a guarantee.
Freedom from non-value adding tasks:
Outsourcing facilitates you with a great deal of freedom. Maneuvering
your work force as per the tasks in hand doesn’t sound quite possible
but you can accomplish it by outsourcing.
Focus on your business:
In addition to it, your company cannot be proficient in all the areas. No need to feel handicapped. Outsource what you are not brilliant at.
The above statement says it all. India is certainly a force to reckon
when it comes to Outsourcing.
