IT Outsourcing,A Strategy to Adopt.
Today many companies have seriously considered moving part or whole of their technology services offshore. Already a substantial number of companies either have offshore units or have included offshoring in their business strategy. Considering the cost savings of up to 40% that companies can achieve by moving work offshore it started as a tool to lower costs only. But today it is a business strategy to-
- Reduce expenses
- Reallocate capital
- Refocus on business
- Reduce time-to-market
- Access to more resources
Reduce expenses - low cost factor
When resources are difficult to find in a local marketplace, then outsourcing is the definite answer. When competition is so fierce that cost savings are essential to survival, then outsourcing is a definite answer to the problem. When you do outsourcing to an offshore destination, you end up getting even better results - more cost savings and access to a bigger resource pool.
Typically in offshore outsourcing; companies end up saving anywhere between 20% and 40% overall on the production cost. You can reap benefits on the following fronts -
- Reduced Labor Cost
in an offshore destination resources are 40% to 80% cheaper - Convert your fixed cost into variable costs fixed salary cost is replaced by variable provider cost dependent on work
- Reduced recurring investments
ongoing expense on employee trainings and infra is no more your problem.
Reallocate Capital - free up you precious capital for other functions
Outsourcing your technology and related services will free up your capital from going into office infrastructure, technology related hardware, network and etc. In an outsourced scenario you need a thin technology team to monitor and interface between your offshore development center/team and in-house team. All you need is an infrastucture to support monitoring and managing of offshore engagements by your in house managerial staff.
Refocus on business - focus more on your customers
Core of any business is customer and sales & marketing, irrespective of what company provides. A company might be provider of technology solutions or a provider of business solutions for which again technology is a key component. Irrespective of what a company provides, when technology services are outsourced, the company gets to focus more on their customers and business development.
In today's challenging market conditions it makes even more business sense to offshore outsource your technology functions or any of your non-core functions, especially if there are cost savings in doing so. This enables companies to:
- Focus energies on innovation
- Focus on sales & marketing
- Focus on performance and agility
- Focus on customer relationships

Reduce time-to-market - make it your competitive edge
All businesses aim to make a competitive edge by reducing production cycles and getting back to their customers much faster and cheaper or target to hit the market much before any other competitor. Offshore outsourcing gives you that extra edge by reducing your production time because of ready to use manpower and infrastructure in place with the provider. Which otherwise you would have invested time, money and effort in building team, training resources and creating an infrastructure to host the team.
