Dallas, TX (27th February 2008): Do you
view off-shoring as risky? In most cases, risk is a result of uncertainty and lack
of information. If you are unsure, you will cycle through the same questions
with no resolution.
The best
advice is to purchase research reports through a credible research or advisory
Firm that specializes in off-shoring or outsourcing. Alternatively, a few Firms
also specialize in conducting market scans to specifically match off-shore
trends and capabilities to your specific objectives. Some of the things you would want to learn:
“Peer”
company trends in your industry
What are other similar
companies doing? (chances are they are doing a lot)
The
impact of off-shoring within that Peer group.
What have been the costs and
benefits to them and has that put your company at a competitive disadvantage?
Functions
and specific work activities within those functions that lend themselves to
off-shoring.
What is possible to
off-shore?
Specific
country capabilities mapped to functional areas. Some countries have a deserved
reputation for being better at some functions than others.
India? China?
Philippines?
Malaysia?
Costa Rica?
Poland?
Armed
with credible industry and global benchmarks, companies can then make fact-based decisions about their
future-state. To read the entire article
