Outsourcing: Moving beyond offshore services
Capturing the long-term operational benefits of global sourcing
The decision towards outsourcing is often driven by cost, as the availability of lower cost skill sets leads companies to grow their programs in more cost-advantaged areas offshore.
|
One challenge to this outsourcing approach is having a myopic view, as many companies tend to focus solely on initial-year cost reductions, overlooking the inevitable cost increases that stem from wage inflation and other longer-term operational factors.
To counter this tendency, many industry leaders are looking beyond the one-time, cost-based offshore outsourcing decision and broadening their strategy to include a multishore model. Once an organisation understands that outsourcing is no longer synonymous with offshoring, they can begin to explore wider approaches to achieving development, production, and support goals that go beyond cost to create new value. |
