Offshore Services - Fortune 500 Companies

The significant cost advantages obtained through the offshore model have compelled Fortune 500 companies such as Boeing, American Express, Southwestern Bell, and British Airways to move their development efforts as well as call center operations to India. India provides a unique talent of technological resources and expertise required for companies to maintain a competitive advantage.

India - Value Proposition

The key factors that make India the choice of outsourcing operations are:

Diverse Resource Base - India offers a large pool of varied highly skilled and educated workforce, proficient in the English language and highly literate in Information Technology. The increasing number of college graduates and the hugely successful private training industry have ensured that these resources continue to grow at a steady pace every year.

Time Zones - 10 to 12 hour time difference with North America enables around the clock development and delivery of services. This unique advantage helps American organizations achieve true 24*7 internal operations and customer service. The "time zone" advantage provided by India can also become a strategic enabler for many West Europe and Asia Pacific based organizations.

Favorable Govt Policy - The Government of India has committed its support to this activity by establishing a task force for developing a world class knowledge based outsourcing industry (IT Enabled Services), allowing duty free imports of capital goods and providing tax exemption on export of IT enabled services.

Infrastructure - Software Technology Parks (STPs) with state-of-the-art IT infrastructure and telecom facilities providing a "single window clearance" for all regulatory compliances have helped India emerge as a prominent outsourcing hub

Cost Optimization - The relatively low cost of manpower makes India a very attractive base for outsourcing IT-enabled services. India has been the largest provider of software engineers to Silicon Valley, West Europe and the Asian Pacific regions. The IT industry is now serving as a lucrative hub for providing the most cost effective location for off-shore Business Process and Customer Contact services outsourcing.

Proven Capability - Large global corporations have begun to outsource IT development to India. Organizations such as General Electric, American Express, British Airways and Microsoft have demonstrated the advantages of outsourcing from Indian facilities.
