We've been involved with outsourcing and offshoring for many years and have had both good and bad experiences. If you ask around, you will find there is little consensus regarding the efficacy of this strategy. Some love it and embrace it while others have tried it and rejected it. There is a wide spectrum of experience and opinion here. Why? Here are some of the things that account for this variability:

 

  • • Unrealistic expectations.
  • • Offshoring things that should not be offshored.
  • • Using poor processes to manage and implement offshoring activities.
  • • Potential for conflict of interests between employees and offshore resources.

We can help you wade through these considerations to see if offshoring would be useful for you. We can help you apply it successfully.
