In this edition of our newsletter, we present an overview on successful offshore partnerships. While most of these partnerships yield guaranteed benefits to corporate bottom lines at the end of the day, the process of launching one such partnership may not be one of the easiest launches to experience.

For starters, the offshore development team comprises of people from several time zones and originating from different cultural perspectives, in countries such as India, China, Ireland, Israel, Russia or Pakistan. Your doubts, about how effective the communication levels will be and other technical issues such as Project Tracking, Integration Issues, Business Continuity and Protection for Critical data, may linger.

At the same time, offshore outsourcing accounts for nearly 10% of the $536 billion Global IT services and BPO industry (Worldwide IT services Market Forecast 2002-2007, Gartner Research). And that, 80% of Fortune 500 companies had outsourced some or all of their information management function way back in 1997. (Outsourcing Institute, New York).

IT outsourcing is not just a process to gain one-time cost advantage; in fact, it’s an effective strategy for gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage.

It is these successful and strategic partnerships that have contributed to the trend of IT expenditures going down by 15-25% during the first year and as much as 35-40% by the third year (according to the META Group). The following figures will surely add to your determination to go on with your decision.
