Global Outsourcing

Global outsourcing allows consolidation of services and operational efficiencies across borders. More freedom and flexibility in decision-making and operations during the outsourcing process. Businesses are not locked into outdated or static processes but can change and evolve to meet new business challenges, while benefiting from the predictability and quality of service levels.

The outsourcing decision is not location - or country - dependent. Work is done at the place that does it best and is most effective in delivering value in terms of competence, price, and resources available. The outsourcing company gains access to the specialized knowledge and technological infrastructure of service providers in different parts of the world.

SPECIALIZATION

Nearshore solutions offer the advantages of cultural compatibility, linguistic ability and similar time-zones. Offshore solutions from countries located in different time-zones offer access to specific skills, better quality and the 24x7 advantage for faster time-to-market. Onshore solutions offer the benefit of efficient knowledge transfer and understanding of client requirements and processes, while laying the groundwork to transition the process offshore. Global outsourcing leverages a blend of these solutions to offer the client best-of-breed services at the best price, and follow-the-sun flexibility.

On the other side, Global Labour Outsourcing is very controversial and the perception of it is not always welcomed by the local workforce.  There is the issue of domestic job losses, it provides unfair cost advantages to factories and manufacturing process, in some cases it produces inferior products and services, and in short if not managed responsibly it can have dire effects on communities.

Where there certainly have been cases like this, the concept of Global Labour Outsourcing also has many advantages to local business and economies which if implemented properly can actually create better competition, more jobs and create opportunities where there weren’t before.  With proper implementation you can definitely drive down costs of the entire operation, ensure quality is not only maintained but in many cases improved, and allow for growth and expansion which ultimately leads to growth.  The fact is the Global Labour Outsourcing is a concept that is here to stay and the reason is because the advantages just cannot be ignored.

 

The fact is that the world is considerably smaller than it was twenty years, small business executives can now manage a staff of dozens from a 1 room office or better yet from the couch at their house.  Larger companies can assign project managers to manage dozens (if not hundreds) of independent workers while concurrently shaving considerable amounts of costs from their profit and loss statement.  Outsourced employees don’t have benefits, they are generally responsible for their own taxes, and work on a very strict pay for performance type of operation.
