Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why should I outsource my support functions?
- Outsourcing allows you to focus on your core business, not your support departments. Outsourcing gives your company access to a higher level of expertise than you would normally be able to afford.
2. What are the main benefits of outsourcing?
- Cost effectiveness – Salaries of professionals are significantly lower than those in North America and Europe. This wage differential translates into cost savings.
- 24/7 operation – Offshore development facilities located in India are in the perfect time zone to help you operate 24/7.
- Large pool of talent – Retaining experienced employees becomes difficult when they are given boring and repetitive work. India offers you a cost-effective talent pool that you can tap into for reliable service delivery.
- Best Practices – Focused heavily on quality and continuous process improvement, offshore development centers operate at high levels of efficiency, predictability, and reliability. High process maturity greatly reduces risks and provides significant advantage when managing service level agreements
3. Does it mean that I lose control over my business when I involve third parties to handle my business processes?
- No, outsourcing enables more control over current business functions and allows you to concentrate on critical functions. The control should be need based. Ask yourself this question: is there a need to control something where the cost of control is higher than the cost of not controlling it at all?
