Offshore Advisory Services

Offshore and outsourcing initiatives have become increasingly strategic for global corporations over the past several years. There exists a wide array of business models beyond basic offshore outsourcing that organizations are adopting to enhance their competitiveness and ‘unlock’ the true value of their offshore endeavors. Most of these business models provide undeniable benefits and allow clients to take advantage of the “next generation” of offshore outsourcing advantages. Choosing the right offshore consulting partner is critical to understanding the sourcing landscape in India and elsewhere and to crafting a strategy that blends the optimal mix of models and services for your organization’s needs.

The case for offshore outsourcing has been and continues to be compelling. Advantages including enhanced economic benefits, value creation opportunities, access to high quality resources, improved productivity and quality of deliverables, have cemented that. At the same time, management and governance of offshore operations requires commitment, management bandwidth and the ability to control the nuances of complex cross-border collaboration. ANSR Source is uniquely positioned to provide offshore advisory services to multinational organizations seeking to maximize benefits, minimize risks, while optimizing operations.

The third party outsourcing model has become a virtual standard for global corporations looking to access the often touted offshore advantage. Establishing a successful, sustainable, enduring and ‘winning’ partnership requires a deep understanding of all facets of offshore outsourcing including industry best practices benchmarking, development and evaluation of performance metrics, engagement model innovations, and a commitment to manage risk / reward sharing arrangements.

While the third party outsourcing model has proven successful over the past decade, most customers are beginning to feel the model’s limitations. These shortcomings include the basic fact that a client’s processes need to be handed over to a third party organization which exposes the client to issues related to data and IP security, goal alignment, loss of control, and added vendor management overhead due to the establishment and monitoring of service levels agreements. This limits outsourcing initiatives to “non-core” systems and processes. Many companies are being driven to consider establishing IT, BPO and KPO services subsidiaries to fill the gap in what third party vendors can provide. Offshore Captive units are being leveraged to deliver mission-critical IT systems and processes while third party outsourcing models are being used for non-core functions.
