India is the World's Preferred Outsourcing Destination

To stay ahead of competition, control cost, increase quality, reduce time–to–market and offer innovative solutions, your company can consider outsourcing. You can get access to all of the above benefits by outsourcing to India. Over the years, India has made a name for itself in the outsourcing market by providing quality solutions at a low cost. Today, India is one of the ten fastest growing economies in the world.

In a recent survey conducted in the US, 82% of US–based companies have voted for India as their first and most preferred choice for software outsourcing. Though other outsourcing destinations like China or the Philippines also offer low cost services and fast turnaround time, it is only talent–rich India that provides unmatched quality and has the largest number of skilled resources in almost every field.

Gone are the days when only back–end work such as data entry and customer support was outsourced to India. India, with its state–of–the–art technology can now handle complex turnkey projects, such as the maintenance of legacy systems, business intelligence, system integration, business process re–engineering or e–commerce.

The benefits of doing business with India

India's investment friendly policies, forward–thinking reforms, higher disposable incomes and rising middle class have made it an attractive outsourcing destination for foreign investors. When you do business with India, you can be sure to experience these key benefits:

• You get to work with enthusiastic and career–focused Indians, who constantly upgrade their skills through training and certificate programs
