    Just when the Indian BPO industry had seemingly shaken off the impact of the US economic crisis last year came the latest bad news from Europe. Will this new situation impact adversely on the Indian outsourcing industry. Well it’s a little early to say. The fact of the matter is that there is very little outsourcing carried out on behalf of the countries impacted. To that extent there is negligible loss of business so far. Read more

  • Jobs in outsourcing

    Outsourcing as an industry makes it to the news quite often, sometimes for the right reasons and sometimes not. That being said, what are the types of jobs that exist in this industry that has exercised so many people’s minds all over the world. Read more

  • Specialization in outsourcing

    Specialization or the theory of comparative costis the main reason for the continued relevance of outsourcing. Of course the recent telecommunications revolution and the fall in the rates of communication and data transfer played their part. This is the reason why outsourcing works best for the service industry-where there is no physical product that needs relocating. Read more

  • Anti Offshoring Laws to impact business?

    Ever since Obama expressed his reservations about the wisdom of outsourcing to countries outside the United States, there has been endless speculation about the direction the world outsourcing industry would take. There is added urgency to come up with an effective strategy to deal with aftermath of any protectionist legislations, as indeed suggested by him. Read more

  • New challenges and opportunities for the Indian outsourcing

     Viewed broadly outsourcing comprises of the following information technology, human resources, engineering, customer service, legal services, knowledge based services, R&D and so on.

  • Outsourcing by small companies

    One would imagine that outsourcing is something that concerns only large corporations, who would have the resources necessary to be able to create infrastructure overseas, which could then be harnessed to reap enormous economies of scale. Well there is some truth in it, but small businesses too can reap the benefits of outsourcing by understanding that the benefits that accrue are substantial. Read more

  • Will Obama’s proposed withdrawal of tax incentives to outsourcing companies impact India?

    The Indian outsourcing industry does not seem to think so. As a matter of fact they are quite sanguine that it will be business as usual for Indian companies as they feel that US companies will continue to find outsourcing to India cheaper for their businesses. They are actually willing to concede that Obama may have had to resort to these measures more as a symbol of his solidarity with the people who have lost jobs in the current difficult times and also to shore up his slipping popularity ratings.

  • Outsourcing in 2010

    The last decade saw outsourcing  come into its own as a global multibillion dollar industry that had the ability to turn around economies and arouse a great deal of passionate debate on its desirability or otherwise. As we hit the second decade of the new millennium, what are the challenges that this industry faces and what are the opportunities? Read more

  • Is India losing in voice based outsourcing?

    Indian call center agents have long been the face of the Indian BPO industry to the world. The, what may in retrospect be called ludicrous phenomenon, of Indian agents taking on not just American names, but also their mannerisms and accents, to take calls from people buying insurance, getting their computers fixed and their utility bills paid spawned not just a jumbo outsourcing economy, but also led to a worldwide cultural and political impact. Yet it functioned quite effectively providing jobs and employment to hundreds of thousands in India and cost savings of millions of dollars to the firms involved. Read more
