Welcome to the May 2005 issue of Offshore Insights! We are tracking the
offshore outsourcing space to give you updated news, views and trends to add
value to your offshore outsourcing decisions.
The growth of global services sourcing is driven by several factors, but cost
savings is the most significant. The potential to utilize the resources of
developing, low-cost economies to substitute service delivery from developed,
high-cost countries is the core of services globalization. There are many
factors that contribute to the cost-saving potential of any global sourcing
scenario. A clear understanding and ability to weigh each of the factors is
critical in any firm’s successful implementation and optimization of a global
sourcing initiative. These factors include both direct-cost and hidden-cost
elements that play a role at both the low-cost delivery location (either
offshore or nearshore) as well as the high-cost onshore location. Of all of
these cost components, the wage rate differential between onshore and offshore
or nearshore locations provides the most compelling reason for the global
sourcing of IT services.
This month we focus specifically on how the wage rate differential contributes
to a firms’ cost savings determinations, and ultimately to their global
sourcing decisions.
