Welcome to the May issue of Offshore Insights!
Offshore outsourcing can often require more investment than imagined. Clients
sometimes forget the other investments they have to make — investments in
training, relocation, cultural training, taxes, infrastructure, etc. By
including these costs in the financial modeling, the real savings opportunity
can drop from 70% to 30%, depending upon the scenario.
We are tracking the offshore outsourcing space to give you updated news, views
and trends to add value to your offshore outsourcing decisions. This month, we
examine the total cost of offshore outsourcing.
