Outsourcing from UK and Europe

Outsourcing from UK and Europe

Globalization, challenging economic environment and increased competition are making many enterprises reconsider their business models to enhance their performance. This is exactly where outsourcing adds value to a business model. By outsourcing, businesses can pay exactly for what they utilize. This unburdens the enterprises as they can quickly outsource their project to a vendor with the right resources for getting the job done. While cost reduction is the major reason for outsourcing, access to skilled resources and data security and confidentiality are among the other major factors that drive outsourcing.

What Makes India a Mature Global-Outsourcing Destination?

Offshoring story of India began in the year 1985, with the establishment of Texas Instruments office in Bangalore. Since then India has maintained dominance in the global outsourcing, due to a mature ecosystem. Today, Indian offshoring industry has evolved and provides the widest array of services with most mature service providers. Some of the major services provided by India include KPO, R&D, BPO, Engineering services, IT, etc.

Although many nations offer services at lower costs, they do not exhibit the level of process maturity offered by India. Having entered the market early, India has developed a fine process maturity. Following are some of the major factors that make India a mature global outsourcing destination.

  1. The Time-zone Advantage - The difference between the time zones of the outsourcing nations and India has a positive impact on business. It allows tasks to be completed and delivered overnight, thereby offering a swift turnaround time
  2. Seamless Communication and Skilled Resources - Being one of the largest English-speaking nations in the world, India also has highly skilled resources. This simply means that the outsourcers can easily communicate their requirements to these skilled resources having the language advantage to ensure flawless execution of their projects
  3. Outsourcing-friendly Policies - Indian outsourcing policies are flexible, making it easier for the overseas agencies to outsource their businesses to India
  4. Superior Customer Service - In spite of the time-zone differences, Indian service providers have maintained a friendly, round-the-clock customer support with a good command over English
  5. Vast Talent Pool - With a huge population of 1.2 billion people, approximately 3.1 million graduates get absorbed into the workforce every year in India. This quality of talent is a major factor that attracts businesses worldwide and makes India a potent candidate for outsourcing
  6. Confidentiality and Data Security - Although there are nations who offer services at much lower rates than India, uncompromised data security and confidentiality are the two major factors that attract global outsourcers to India

In addition to these factors, tremendous growth in the value chart has endeared businesses across the globe to India.
