Yesterday I witnessed unarguably the most extravagant presidential swearing-in ceremony of our times. Also the most awaited, I believe. No points for guessing, the OBAMANIA has arrived and was very evident with more than 3 million Americans in Washington and over 1.3 Billion television viewers witnessing "the change" that is bound to reshape the world.
I was forced to think if this is the end of the Outsourcing era? The era that has lasted more than a quarter of a century! Not really, my mind suggests. Outsourcing is no longer just the buzzword, its a phenomenon that has transformed the way companies look at IT and can consider IT as a contributor to the organizational growth story.
Will things change? Surely they will. But the extent is going to be limited and definitely not something that the IT Service companies in India need to worry about.
Outsourcing is no longer about Costs alone and thats the best part. Companies today are looking beyond costs for other benefits like better service levels, governance issues, information security, process optimization and innovation. The list is long and IT companies in India have, to a great extent, transformed their offerings to offer these benefits to their clients.
While exploring your Sourcing Options these benefits are definitely something you as a CIO or IT Director should consider before zeroing down on your Outsourcing vendor. Using a Sourcing Advisory services helps you doing just this.
