I am currently negotiating a deal with some North American customers on outsourcing of database design services. I strongly feel that the Logical data model has to happen in thelocation where the Business Analyst is. IN most cases, teh Business Analysts are based in North America. However, my strong belief is, the physical data model can be done from India irrespective of where the Business Analyst or the Project design team is. Is this a good idea and what does the group think?

Benefits of Outsourcing


Most companies probably accept at least some level of IT outsourcing as a business necessity. Other enterprises embrace IT outsourcing as a critical component to a larger business strategy. Whether a company considers selective or enterprise-wide IT outsourcing, the benefits are both compelling and real.

These potential benefits can include:
• Reduced IT overhead and capital expenses
• Improved IT performance and systems reliability
• Accelerated development and time-to-market cycles to support core business operations
• Smoother, less costly technology migrations and upgrades
• Enhanced business contingency and continuity plans
• Increased effectiveness of scarce in-house IT resources

Achieving the benefits described above requires simplicity, accountability, and trust.
Simplicity, in that the outsourcing processes are clear, well defined and tied to business objectives. Accountability, in that the people who manage the processes are judged by the results. And trust, in that the promised results are consistently delivered.

Outsourcing will allow you to:

• enjoy more resources and better support
• gain real internal flexibility and control
• drive better decision making and reach your strategic goals
• release time for key activities like sales
• safeguard your competitive edge
• access new technologies and expertise
• improve processes and systems, based on independent and non-political advice
• boost business efficiency
• cope with growth, shrinkage and seasonal peaks and troughs

The Global Infonet Commitment to Total Customer Satisfaction

We have learned that true customer goodwill and satisfaction come from consistently exceeding customer expectations. Thus, at Global Infonet, exceeding your expectations is our company policy.

Greater Transparency Can Provide a Win-Win Situation

Transparency is crucial as it provides a single view of the services on offer and the projects being support¬ed. And creates the atmosphere in which a long-term and mutually beneficial relationship can flourish.

Governance

No contract or starting point will remain static. Hence, structured and effective governance of
the service, service levels, key personnel and a host of other critical issues require ongoing
management and constant re-alignment. Metrics drive the process. Quality and alignment are crucial. Objective communication to stakeholder groups is a significant contributing factor to project success or failure. Our experience in establishing effective governance structures
and processes can be the difference between a sustainable service and a visible failure.
Unfortunately, the latter state represents the majority.

I know, by seeing the title of the blog most of us will be divided in two halves...The ones who consider the life in BPO as hell...and the others who would say its "Rocking"...

However friends, here I want you all too see this from my perspective...at micro level..

I have been working for BPOs for say about eight years now.. worked in Mumbai, gurgaon and now in Noida.

Life, I feel is now moving between weekend to weekend. Everything is so programmed, so monotonous...Even the weekends have become like rituals, having a party on friday night, getting up late on saturday, dragging myself,,and the spouse for the breakfast, heading towards a mall, shopping (without any planning), eating (without any will), going for a movie, and then back to home. After this, I feel guilty of spending once again, above the limits. But guys what are we suppose to do...Our parents had so many friends, old and regular friends whom they use to visit on sundays or they use to come to our place. Now, do we have any such friends?? NO...coz we keep changing the jobs every six months or so...

Our parents feel that we are very happy as we are earning so much ..that too at this young age...but what they dont know is the "Hell" we are going through.. no job security, no finanicial security, nothing man...the future seems so doomed...

The BPO vendors having US based clients share mixed reactions due to the temporary slump in the US economy. This will be further heightened till the time final election results are not out and the new president doesn't announce some relief with string of measures to combat the credit crunch heat.

Those BPOs/KPOs who focus on large US companies or big ticket outsourcing contracts are facing the recession crisis as seen by the delays in contract renewals or temporary freeze in awarding of new contracts. One of the associated factors is the lengthened decision making time with a lot of top heads (including CEOs and CFOs) losing their jobs under the recession pressure. Large companies have now focused their energies on restructuring their company through vertical acquisitions or major divestitures besides analyzing their internal processes. This has majorly been observed with IT and financial service companies. It seems that 'outsourcing' is now on the back burner for them as they focus more on meeting their budgeted business targets first.

But there’s some hope in these tough times. The economic crisis has forced the small to mid-sized US companies to assess outsourcing as an option as they struggle to survive against the big mammoths. They are re-evaluating their internal processes to find solutions within tight business budget constraints. This infact opens up a galore of opportunities for BPOs and KPOs from India who focus on small to mid-sized US clients with revenues lesser than $5 million.

There are few other smart choices available too, like looking beyond US to stretch the sights to Europe and Australia or changing the client exposure from the typical IT and Financial service clients to other industry verticals.

Gartner OUTSOURCING & IT SERVICES SUMMIT 2008 2-4 June 2008, LONDON
MASTERING MULTISOURCING – A BUSINESS IMPERATIVE


MASTERING MULTISOURCING
European organizations are steadily increasing their utilization of outsourcing and external services to enhance their performance and improve their competitiveness. While many organizations have matured in their ability to structure outsourcing deals and manage external providers, this maturation has been overwhelmed by the increasing number of services and provider options, the turmoil in the external market, the industrialization of IT services and the growing expectations of business leaders.
Over the past two years, the Gartner Outsourcing summit has introduced multisourcing as the key discipline for successful outsourcing strategies and has identified strategies for applying multisourcing to deliver real business results.
Gartner’s 7th Annual Outsourcing & IT Services Summit will take multisourcing to the next level. The need to master multisourcing is already being felt. From basic IT services to complex business processes, European organizations will increasingly source services and capabilities from a shifting blend of internal and external resources to meet its goals for cost efficiency, agility and growth. Given the effort and discipline required to successfully implement a multisourcing operational model, some may be tempted to simply wait. Unfortunately, waiting is not an option. Those that refuse to change will constantly be operating at a disadvantage to competitors.
We’ll provide you with strategies to help you to deliver the best possible outcome for all your sourcing initiatives. IT outsourcing, Vendor Management, Transformation projects, Business Process Outsourcing, Offshore and Global Delivery – we’ll explore it all. And for the first time, we’ll identify the Alternative Delivery Models such as Software as a Service, Infrastructure Utilities and services “in the cloud” that will radically transform the IT Marketplace.
With four tracks and more than 50 sessions, we’ll deliver critical analysis, actionable advice and next-generation best practices for next-generation problems. Join your peers and map out a positive new direction for all your ITO, BPO and Global sourcing initiatives.

When your company is planning to have a long-term offshore outsourcing relationships with th eprovider, the foundation of the success of this venture should be laid during the negotiation period itself. The cornerstone of this negotiation period will be the SLA or the Service Level Agreement. The aim of outsourcing is to gain value for the host organization. There are several contrasting views however regarding how to maximize value and minimize risk by outsourcing. The following best practices can serve as a guide when structuring your SLA, and then implementing and maintaining a relationship with the chosen provider. Five Golden Rules For Offshore Outsourcing Defined: 1. Develop enduring relationships between key management personnel. The usefulness of the relationship between the key management personnel of both teams depends on good understanding and strong working ties between them. Studies on outsourcing success stories have demonstrated that working chemistry in management and peer friendships among employees have proved to be important determinants in forming long-term relationships that yield real value. 2. Present a Quantifiable Objective. A useful performance criterion includes quantifiable objectives and clarifies expectations of the quality of service. If you can get ahold of SLAs for comparable projects, they will serve as reasonable starting points—but remember, these are negotiable. In any event, ensure that exact objectives and expectations are included in the SLA and are understood by both organizations prior to implementation. 3. Pre-determine the Incentives and Penalties Schemes. The provider should be driven to meet the established customer expectations or even exceed it by adopting the performance based pricing criteria. If performance of the service provider exceeds expectations, then incentives should be given; conversely, appropriate penalties should be imposed if objectives are consistently missed. 4. Review Periodically to Maintain Successful Relationships. Organize formal review meetings often. During the meetings, both sides can discuss the performance of both teams and determine the future objectives or goals of the company accordingly. They can also discuss product reviews and deliverables during these meetings. Keep in mind that performance objectives may need to be continually revised according to changing market conditions and the opportunity costs of both firms. 5. Communicate Well & Often to Bridge Cultural Differences. The parties involved in an outsourcing relationship belong to distinct cultures, these differences have to be accepted and bridged. The cultural understanding between the two organizations can be enhanced by organizing social events, educating about company background, participating in each others’ quality programs, etc. Communication really is the key to a healthy relationship. It may be helpful to send a loyal employee to the BPO site for a few months to facilitate understanding in the implementation phase.
