Business Process Outsourcing

Business process outsourcing(BPO) is contracting business functions, such as accounting, product listing, and advertisements(to name only a few) with a third party service provider. For internet based businesses it may come in the form of web design, call centers, and search engine optimization. Think of it as Company A hiring the services of Company B. Company B takes care of most of the work, and frees Company A to have more time to engage in more important business matters, such as management. BPO may save considerable time and effort, and it may be cheaper to do so. This may be possible due to the differing pay rates across countries. For example, the pay rate in India, or China, for that matter, can go considerably low that it would be more practical to hire Indian or Chinese workers than American workers. There are many sites easily accessible on the internet that provide these services, and certainly, this is an option to be considered in setting up your business.

India pips China as next best manufacturing hub

Recently Capgemini, the global consulting, technology and outsourcing services major, in its latest report has said that global manufacturers in their quest for newer places to carry out their operations, may find India as a favourite destination. The report even said that India can emerge as the 'number one outsourced manufacturing destination due to its competitive cost advantages over China'.

The report also rightly noted that India is now diversifying from its stronghold in the IT and BPO segment to the manufacturing segment, which is currently dominated by its neighbour, China.

If we base our assumptions on the findings of this report, I see an early stirring of a manufacturing-based economic growth in the country.

And why not? I agree that for decades, manufacturing in India has been plagued by draconian labour laws, bad infrastructure and extensive paperwork. But the authorities have, of late, been burning the midnight oil to do away with these bottlenecks and have considerably succeeded. And this is being noticed by global manufacturing giants.

Take for instance, India's Special Economic Zones (SEZs); these zones can spearhead its export-led industrialization providing tax holidays and other incentives. SEZs also will have more control over infrastructure like water and power and less regulation. They can create an appetite for worldwide giants to come to India.

India's emergence as a manufacturing hub has, and will continue as multinationals are looking for alternatives to China. A talent shortage is lifting wages in China, which has already led to Chinese goods becoming costlier and reducing its advantages over India.

Above that, the West is threatening to impose anti-dumping duties on several Chinese products which has become a matter of worry for multinationals with operations in China. This will be another strong factor that will keep multinational manufacturers interested in India. Without doubt China's low-cost tag is not without risks. India scores a point here!

Although critics are of the opinion that certain Southeast Asian nations, including Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia, can attract global players, I strongly feel that India's advantage lies in the fact that it has a big domestic market of more than one billion people. This is where the other Southeast Asian countries lose out. Add to that the low Indian wages as compared to an average daily wages in Thailand or China.

I agree with the Capgemini report that India has to make significant investments for improving its infrastructure to cater to the increased demand of manufacturing and supply chain operations. Indeed the Indian government is eager to attract foreign manufacturing activities, but it will need to make significant investments to harvest this potential....there is no doubt about that.

Even the best reasoning and rationale will only tell us all that the next great manufacturing story can be that of India. Let's all work towards this!

Canada eyeing offshore market

With the quantity of jobs heading for Indian shores, the Indian companies on these shores are heading for other shores as well in the name of globalization. The next popular frontier: Canada.

Canada is coming in the preferences for a number of American based companies. The Canadian cities namely Vancouver and Toronto are getting popular for outsourcing work. But this does not mean that Canada will become next India for the American based software companies outsourcing work. Still, Canada is becoming an attractive option for many American software developers eyeing for their future outsourcing strategies.

According to a new report released on Tuesday by SD Forum and Luxoft, a Russia based outsourcing firm from the 200 plus U.S. based independent software developers that took part in the survey, 94 percent say that they are outsourcing project work, either domestically, offshore, or near shore, or in some combination of all three.

India is the leading offshore destination of various American based companies outsourcing, followed by Singapore, Russia, and China. Due to BPO's vital nature, US clients seek to have these done closer to home, or "near shore". Canada offers quite a near fit with its constancy, geographical proximity, and cultural similarities.

However, Canadian cities, including Vancouver and Toronto, win out over India for future outsourcing strategies by American independent software vendors, particularly among those that use a mix of offshore, domestic, and near shore work.

Companies with Indian roots stand to gain from this trend since it functions on a flawless worldwide delivery model customized to customers' risk preferences. Such a global outsourcing model can have work distributed between Canadian and Indian operations - the design and project management in Canada, and second-tier jobs in India.

SHORT SALE RICHES

I have done many short sale in the past 15 years and have faced rejection from lenders and homeowners 20-30% of the time. Does rejection bother me? Not in the least and I love it, since It provides more information so that I can improve my negotiation skills As with any sales tactic, I am playing a numbers game and there is no game better than the short sale game which can make you wealthy beyond your dreams.

Most agents, investors or even lenders do not know how a short sale works or how to negotiate a short sale successfully There are no seminars, Gurus or get rich quick schemes in the short sale industry and do not let anyone fool you. Short sale transactions are learned with experience and there in no one way of doing it. Each short transaction is a separate animal on its own with separate investors and numbers. There are very few investors who truly know how to successfully negotiate a short sale. Most investors have the perception that all that is necessary is to submit an offer and wait for the bank to give you an answer. If all goes well the offer will be accepted but in many cases it's not that simple. That's why a strategic plan is necessary before you even begin a short sale. You must set up a plan to persuading the lender to agree with your offer.

There are 2 key steps that will ensure success when negotiating a short sale with lenders:

1st. Evaluate all the numbers that the owner give you, such as the total amount of the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd trust deeds and determine if you indeed have a short sale opportunity on your hands. Obviously, if the total balance of all liens is greater that the "as is market value" of the property than you may have a candidate. The next step would be to qualify the homeowner to determine if they are truly in financial hardship and most homeowners are, especially if they are behind on their payments.. Many rookie investors are under the misconception that every homeowner facing foreclosure is a good short sale candidate. Not all deals are good short sale opportunities. You must know the difference between a good and a bad deal.

2nd Don't take no for an answer. If the lender says no you must ask yourself why? Lenders do not make decisions based on emotion, unlike most homeowners, their only concern is to negotiate and get the highest price on their investment and trust me, they will say no to offers dozens of times. When the end approaches and the property is scheduled to sale at auction, they may very well say yes to your offer. I personally expect to get a no on my first offer and second counteroffer before we get down to the real serious numbers in purchasing any given property.

Here is an deal which I recently purchased that I would like to share with you, the property was located in Los Angeles:

I got a call from an owner in distress on one of my advertisements. This owner was behind 3 months and a notice of default had already been filed. He had a 1st loan amount of $585,000 and 2nd loan amount of $95,000 the property was worth $620,000 in it's as is condition. I immediately had him sign an "authorization to release" and contacted the 1st lender within 2 days and asked them to send a short sale package, which they did. Long story short, my initial offer for the 1st and 2nd combined since one lender held both was $480,000. They send out their broker for a BPO or "brokers price opinion" which came in at $600,000 they countered me $580,000 back and forth some more and the final purchase price was negotiated to $495,000. I sold the property within 30 days for $605,000 netting $580,000 after commissions and closing costs. Net profit from this one deal was $70,000. Not bad for 3 months work.

This would have never happened if I accepted no from the bank. I must have received a "no" several times from the loss mitigator but I knew that if I was persistent and aggressively polite they would reconsider. Remember, the next time you are putting together a short sale offer, be prepared and take control of the deal. Never take NO for an answer. Be proactive not reactive. Don't just submit offers without having a game plan. Do yourself a favor and take advantage of the opportunity to make lots of money in an industry where great deals are hard to come by.

Legal Process Outsourcing

LEGAL PROCESS OUTSOURCING

As you all know, most of the law firm in USA, Canada and UK are facing problems regarding the legal support staff. Particularly referring to small and mid-size firms who practice in the area of personal injury or class actions are the ones who are the major victims.

Law firms are believed to spend a lot of time and money in the discovery process whereas now any plaintiff firm can do this service likewise. Large firms benefit from outsourcing the administrative functions like word processing and document/coding. As the market becomes more competitive, larger firms will need the desire to look into outsourcing since much more of subjective work like- legal research, deposition summaries and document review to bypass the strong competition. And in a situation like this LPO is the need of the hour! They not only would compensate the difference of cost but would also generate job opportunities in places like India, which would further enhance our country profile when it comes to fighting the problem of unemployment.

So thinking on these lines, a big question arises? Is offshore Legal Process Outsourcing safe? Are they taking all necessary actions to safeguard the client data?

Since I personally work in a leading LPO, I would like to say from my experience that it is quite safe to invest faith in the work culture here. Our offices safeguard the confidentiality of their clients with the right measures. Moreover, in India, the first phase of establishing BPO, KPO and LPO is over. By analyzing first phase and after taking all necessary and desired course of action in this stage, the Indian Law fraternity is now in second stage of establishments and carving niches and relationships with their clients, where they have proved their worth. The staff in these law firms is well trained to work round the clock shifts, security measures are deployed and infrastructure is ready to take this legal process outsourcing influx like the latest sensex leap!

Increase Your Profits through Call Centers

Call centers are part of the dynamic business process outsourcing industry that caters to the needs of some companies for a dedicated unit that will receive and make calls, do sales, and perform marketing functions. A company can acquire valuable information from its customers by hiring a call center to deliver front line customer services. These centers are usually operated by companies to provide customer support or product information to consumers.

Call centers are mainly responsible for taking inbound and outbound calls. Telemarketing sales are also part of the services rendered by these providers for their clients. Call centers also handle desk queries and catalog orders. In addition to these tasks, they also identify customer care needs, anticipate customer behavior, and execute necessary functions while customers are still on the line. Teams of live operators, account representatives, and program managers are the backbone of the call center operation.

Online customers and callers contact inbound call centers to purchase things like airline tickets, get technical assistance with their gadgets, or get answers about utility bills, and many other reasons that company representatives are needed. Many companies hire inbound call centers for active customer service that could be utilized for cross-selling and up-selling. Cross-selling is a term that describes the sale of more products or service to customers. Up-selling on the other hand, is a marketing approach whereby attempts to have consumers purchase more expensive items, upgrades, and other add ons to make more profitable sales.

In outbound call centers, marketing representatives from companies initiate calls to customers. These representatives might call to inform customers that the orders are available or to follow up on problems that the customers need help with. The success of outbound call centers depend on their experience, technical solutions, assurance programs, and commitment to customer service excellence. These call centers ensure results from direct marketing efforts.

The services of web-enabled call centers are based on the Internet. This kind of call center service is now considered necessity to survive and thrive in a tough business environment. The main purpose of these call centers is to help improve people's ability to contact the company that provided them with a service or product. Good customer service is key to developing customer loyalty. At the same time, companies can keep track of the changing customer tastes and preferences.

Establishing call centers can improve communication between clients and the companies, thereby improving customer satisfaction.

In addition, having a call center may increase the quantity and types of customers. Because that many call center representatives are multilingual, they will be able to assist new and existing foreign clients. Call center services aid people in many of the world to enhance their business and customer communication. These services give high returns for a relevantly low investment.

Benefits of Small Business Outsourcing Accounts Receivable (AR)

One of the most critical accounting activities for a business is accounts receivable (AR). Ironically for a small business that operates with limited capital, AR becomes very important to remain competitive. In today's credit linked business environment, it is very relevant & efficiency can be much better harnessed and at a much lower cost. With the offshore service provider taking care of this aspect, the small business has more time and flexibility to attend to other core business areas like procuring orders, improving service delivery and mobilizing resources. Accounts receivable outsourcing is thus a trend among small business today.

Advantages of Accounts Receivable Outsourcing
Recovering past due accounts without spending more in staffing and training is one of the greatest challenges for a small business. Most often, companies write off this receivable amount as loss because the cost to train and hire a qualified in-house staff to manage them outweighs the cost of collecting the debt. This predicament for small business is now set to come to an end. By outsourcing accounts receivable, small business can avail a less expensive - and often higher quality solution and achieve significantly higher collection efficiency, thereby improving liquidity and company bottom lines.

By accounts receivable outsourcing, companies gain access to top notch collection agency professionals and advanced collection agency resources even if they don't have full time AR management needs. It doesn't take a long roster of past due clients to make a big dent in a company's bottom line. According to statistics, once an account becomes 90 days overdue, your business is likely to receive only 73 cents for every dollar owed. After 6 months, the amount drops to 50 cents on every dollar and down to 25 cents after one year. Bringing a collection agency on to handle accounts receivable addresses delinquent accounts within the first 90 days, before they get out of hand.

How Accounts Receivables Matter
Sales that have not yet been collected as cash reflect Accounts Receivable. In today's credit based business environment, small businesses sell their merchandise or services in exchange for a customer's promise to pay at a certain time in the future. Timely collection of accounts receivables is an extremely important source of cash inflows. If this management is bad, small business may not have sufficient liquidity to meet its own expenses. Moreover, accounts receivable portfolios can amount to 21 percent to 34 percent of a small business company's assets. Inefficient collection can amount to 25% of the asset base of a small business could put the very existence of the business at stake.

For a small business, like any other enterprise, accounts receivable also represent an investment. The money locked up in accounts receivable is not available for meeting the costs of running or expanding the business. The return from an investment in accounts receivable doesn't occur until the customers clear their invoices.

Day-to-day management of accounts receivables is traditionally paper intensive, time consuming and expensive. Invoices, payments, purchase orders, and statements are often received via mail, fax, or email. It is always not feasible for small business operators to implement Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Line of Business (LOB) applications for data management because of high investment cost. Even if they manage the cost, capturing information from hardcopy documents, routing them to concerned individuals, and providing easy access to the documents in a timely fashion is indeed a very complex task for small business involving deployment of skilled manpower and enabling systems. Ultimately, management and collection costs of accounts receivables far outweigh the collection putting the small businesses in financial jeopardy.

Efficient Accounts Receivable management is thus a key task for a small business enterprise.

AR Outsourcing - Small Business Advantage
Small business operates with less manpower and do not have the ability to deploy highly expensive credit recovery mechanisms in their own country. Again, no-credit business is absolutely unthinkable in today's perspective. Just by outsourcing small business accounts receivable to an offshore destination like India where there is an abundance of technically competent and skilled manpower at labor costs in the range of almost one-tenth of the rates in USA, small business can leverage best resources to attend a critical business domain that is very much relevant to its sustainability and viability.

Partnering with an accounts receivable outsourcing firm has many benefits. These benefits include, but are not limited to, increased cash flow; reduced operating costs; better small business accounts receivable control; efficient management of small business balance sheet accounts, increased sales to slow paying accounts; fewer delinquencies resulting in lower collection costs; and improved customer service. According to IDC review, outsourcing business processes from US is expected grow with a compound annual growth rate of 7.1 percent through 2009, when the market is expected to reach $355 billion. Of the total spending on account of outsourcing, small and medium businesses would have a share of 29% by 2009.

The progress of small business accounts receivable outsourcing can be fairly mapped on the company's Daily Sales Outstanding (DSO) figures and reduction in bad debt. Number of outstanding invoices drops sharply, the impact being felt more in case of very old outstanding invoices as somebody in the offshore destination handling the accounts receivable portfolio is consistently following the invoices on a day-to-day basis. Due to increased fluidity and availability of time for concentrating on more core activities, small business witness significant growth and their overall turnover improve noticeably. On the whole, this better functioning and cash flow consistently improves their bottom lines. Offshore companies deploy cutting-edge technology to carry out their accounts receivable functions without any investment impact on the outsourcing company. This technology integration adds speed and efficiency and improves customer service for the outsourcing small business. Prompt and efficient follow-up reduces delinquency, thereby offshore companies work with many customers on accounts receivable processes and they are an excellent resource on best practices across companies that can be accessed by small business companies to improve their business efficiency and generate higher returns.

Accounts receivable outsourcing for small business is a trend that has come to stay. By leveraging dedicated and skilled manpower backed with high-end cross cutting technology, small business units can drastically turnaround locked cash to instant liquidity at a minimum process cost and utilize the resource to accelerate growth and higher returns.

Small Business Financial & Accounting (F&A) Offshore Outsourcing Cost

Fortune 500 companies have been off shoring the financial and accounting business processes (BPO) to countries like India, Philippians, China, etc. These companies have big budgets and a big team of consultants who analyzes the total cost and ROI of sending their financial and accounting work to the service providers in offshore locations. Though smaller companies have started off shoring their financial and accounting work to offshore locations but like big corporations small businesses do not have huge budget to hire consultants to identify the total cost of off shoring their financial and accounting work to offshore locations. But small businesses can still perform their due diligence in calculating total cost of their offshore engagement and gain critical knowledge in finding ROI of sending their financial and accounting work to offshore locations. In this report we will go through all of the hidden costs of offshoring financial and accounting business processes.

1. Different Costs of Offshoring Financial & Accounting Work
Small businesses mainly consider offshoring their work, they will consider only the hourly rate they need to pay to the offshore vendor for various accounting works like bookkeeping, accounts payable, accounts receivable, etc. There are several other additional hidden costs small business have to face in their offshore outsourcing engagement. Typically a small business goes through following offshore accounting work cycle in their offshore engagement
* Selecting an offshore accounting vendor
* Sending the work to the offshore vendor
* Answering questions for the offshore vendor
* Receiving the finished work from the offshore vendor
* Verifying the finished work from the offshore vendor
* Monitoring the quality of the finished work from the offshore vendor

2. Cost of Selecting offshore accounting vendor
The cost associated with selecting an offshore accounting vendor will be small compared to other costs. Most of the time small businesses can find a qualified offshore accounting vendor simply by searching in Google or by contacting other small businesses those who are already using an offshore vendor, for detailed discussion on this topic read Offshore Accounting Success. This cost is the one time cost and it will be similar to selecting an onshore vendor.
3. Cost of sending the work to an offshore vendor
Small businesses must consider various types of cost like Scanner, High speed Internet, Backup Server, etc, to send their financial and account documents to an offshore vendor, but the good news is that it will be a one time investment and most of the small businesses will have these in place already. There are three different offshore accounting models you can use to send your accounting and financial work to the offshore vendors and for these you will incur following one time cost.
3.1. Scanner & Scanning software
Most of the accounting and financial data will be in your accounting software like QuickBooks, Peachtree etc, but there will be other documents like Bills, Checks, Invoices, Goods received notes, etc will be on paper and these should be digitized using a scanner and a scanning software to convert it into PDF documents which will be stored in your computer. Once the documents are in your computer then you can give access to the offshore vendor to view the PDF documents or they can retrieve it from your computer to perform their work in the offshore location.
Most of small businesses already have a scanner, if not a scanner (scanning software comes with the scanner) can be purchased for less than $1000.00. The cost of the scanner will go up based on the volume of accounting and financial documents to be scanned in a given day. It will be a one time cost for the small business and also by scanning all their paper based accounting documents; you can improve the efficiency of overall accounting process.

3.2. High speed Internet Connection Cost
You need to have high-speed Internet connection to send and receive the work to and from offshore location. Again all most all small businesses already have DSL/T1 Internet connection if not they can get a DSL Internet connection for $60-100/month.

3.3. Secure FTP software
If small businesses are using Application Service Provider (ASP) like Quickbooks online, cpaasp.com, etc, then it is possible for offshore vendors to directly access your accounting data directly from the ASP vendor. In this case there is no need to use secure FTP software.

3.4. Backup Server
Once small businesses start digitizing their accounting documents for their offshore vendors, they need to start planning for the backup server to backup all their accounting documents. Most of the small businesses will have this feature already, if not it is a good investment to have a backup server to backup all their accounting and financial data from their main computer to the backup server. For any business "Business continuity" is a vital task and the backup server will help the small businesses to recover all the accounting data in case of main computer failure.

3.5. Additional Accounting software License cost
Small businesses use various accounting software packages like QuickBooks, MYOB, Microsoft Office Accounting etc, for doing all their accounting and financial work. When they offshore the work the offshore vendor will use the same accounting software to do the work. It is very difficult for the small businesses to find an offshore vendor who already owns the licenses for all the accounting software. As described in the offshore accounting models if small businesses decides to use Remote Server or ASP then there is no additional cost for small businesses. On the other hand if the small businesses decided to use Secure File Transfer then small businesses needs to buy additional accounting software license for the offshore vendor to use. Small businesses will incur this cost even if they outsource the work to onshore vendors. This cost is truly soley based on the accounting software package used by the small businesses. Accounting software packages comes with various flavors types of software licenses like concurrent users, fixed number of users, CPU based, Network based etc., Some times small businesses can completely avoid this cost altogether.
4. Managing Financial & Accounting offshore vendor
Once you send your accounting and financial work to the offshore vendor, you need to constantly mange and monitor the quality of finished work that comes back from the vendor. Initially you may need a full-time person educating the offshore accountants and bookkeepers about your accounting process and preparing proper instructions for them to follow in their work. Once you and the offshore team are comfortable in the working relationship then all you need is to verify the work periodically. Basically you need to consider the offshore team as your virtual team and educate them in your accounting processes and procedures, once you are comfortable with their work your own employee(s) will spend less time with the offshore vendors.
5. Offshore vendor wage
For the accounting and financial work performed by the offshore vendor, small businesses will pay either an hourly rate or a monthly rate to the offshore vendor. This will be the actual direct cost small businesses will pay to the offshore vendor and all other costs are indirect cost of sending the work to offshore vendor. Typically the wage cost will be 50-70% less than the cost paid to the onshore accounting and financial vendor. For small businesses this cost savings is one of the major reasons to use the offshore vendor for their financial and accounting work. Small businesses need to consider several costs in their financial and accounting offshore engagement. As shown in the table Small business F&A offshore outsourcing - Fixed Cost Vs Monthly Cost some of the costs are fixed and some of them are monthly expanses incurred by the small businesses. Among the monthly cost only the offshore vendor wage is the direct cost paid to the offshore vendor. While performing ROI analysis small businesses must consider all these costs to find the Total Cost of doing business with offshore vendors. As shown in the table, for certain items finding out the exact cost may not be possible and it is highly based on the individual small businesses and the type of accounting and financial work that has been sent to offshore locations. The total cost may not be a fixed amount and it can change from month to month. For example in some months there will be more questions from the offshore vendor in clarifications and in other months there will be less questions, this cost will vary from month to month.

Advantage & Disadvantages of Internet-marketing

Internet marketing seems to be a very popular trend now a days to individuals who have opted for conducting an online business. Analyzing your marketing strategy and putting these in right combination to make your marketing efforts effective is what entails a successful business on the net.

An e marketing effort supports the customer base almost round the clock. The helpdesk and support desk facilities, trouble ticket raising options are making it more and more convenient for the clients to opt outsourcing services online. Most of the marketing efforts that cater to the organized sector are open 24 hours and 7 days a week. Moreover, the reach is global and customers feel convenient to shop/communicate anytime they want to.

An offline business could be very resource consuming in terms of cost of advertising and promotion through postal mails and networking similar business partners through tele-calling and organizing physical interactive sessions. In e-marketing, the cost of establishing your presence and networking with identical bloggers is nothing compared to offline business.

In offline business, many efforts are thriving on paperwork that takes much more time to be organized, dispatched, and reached to potential clients. Promotional emails are effective to let your prospects know about your products and services.

In e-marketing, automated tools and/or software does the whole thing. Your clients are updated immediately about any new modifications and alternations in information through RSS feeds. RSS feeds are brilliant way to update information and news in businesses that are information sensitive.

Creating interactive platforms, initiating discussions and bloggers community are the best things that endorse co-operative marketing efforts through collaboration and networking. Unlike an offline business, you do not always need a physical space to initiate and promote communication among similar minds. Virtual presence makes you visible and established in your business domain.

There are few disadvantages of Internet marketing. Though cost effective and time saving, internet marketing is not always free. Hardware safety and quality assurance, software that facilitates the unique business requirements, setting up or tagging with online payment channels, online distribution costs, maintenance of site and upgrading are all the requirements for a successful sustaining business on the net.

Moreover, there are not many people who will enroll as loyal customers in your customer database. While this number grows over the years with time, you will do well to depend on some offline complementary methods that enhance your customer database. Striking a balance between offline efforts and continuing online efforts or a combination of the two actually helps you to highlight your market presence as an entrepreneur.

Internet as a virtual marketplace is still not very acceptable to orthodox buyers who prefer physical interaction and physical review of goods/ services before buying them. Building up the trust that interactions in the virtual world are real and honest is an ongoing process and it would require some more time to achieve this dependence on internet marketers.

There is a lot of competition in e-marketing. People are trying hard to promote diverse products and locate the right niche audience. Since internet marketers do not have faces, it is very difficult to identify with their brand and services unless their sites are exceptionally designed to facilitate more and more user participation and understanding. Marking your presence through your brand and USP could be virtually challenging and time taking process.

Therefore, it is very important that you are aware of the reward and inconveniences of internet marketing before you really strategize to optimize your revenue on the advantages and nullify the disadvantageous effects of virtual e-marketing.

Offshore Outsourcing: 5 Lessons Your Peers Learned the Hard Way

Executive Summary

"Do not learn from your mistakes; learn from the mistakes of others so that you do not make any." Sean Karsten

No doubt, offshore software development has made its mark in the industry and it's safe to say that it's here to stay. It is estimated that nearly 85% of the worlds top companies have an offshore strategy; so you're probably thinking, "Isn't it time I went offshore?" If you're already offshore, you're probably thinking of ways to diversify and improve your offshore strategy.

Whether you make websites for non-profits or sell complex financial software, you're faced with the critical decision of outsourcing parts of your software development. While outsourcing development will allow you to funnel precious time and money into sales and innovation, it's important to make a sober decision before jumping on the offshore bandwagon. The large companies that paved the offshore trail haven't done so without failed engagements, breached contracts, and a little bit of resentment on both sides. As small and medium sized businesses prepare to make the offshore leap, it will serve you well to learn from the mistakes of your less fortunate peers.

Lesson #1: Look for Someone You Can Grow With

"I'm looking for someone I can grow with." CTO of Insurance Claims Software Company

You're a small company with a killer idea that's going to change the world. You've decided to work with an offshore vendor but don't know where to start. One client we worked with found an excellent vendor to do his core product development in India. Things were great for two years until the Indian vendor started growing. All of a sudden, the client became a small fish in a big pond; quality slipped, he didn't get the attention he needed to keep his company thriving and the rest was history.

When looking for an offshore vendor, look for someone you can grow with. With an insatiable appetite for "mega-deals", most of the large vendors will shy away from SMB's seeking to outsource. Work with a firm for whom you represent a significant portion of the business. This will ensure that your project doesn't fall through the cracks in favor of bigger clients. Make sure that their growth strategy falls in line with your own as well. For example, with the incredible growth of the Indian IT market, companies are growing organically and via acquisitions. A vendor with a growth strategy focused on acquisition might lose track of the subtleties of your particular projects.

Your best bet is to look for a company that matches your corporate culture and is looking to grow with you. The real value in offshore software development is nurturing a team that can handle your core development challenges, allowing you to focus on gaining market share and coming out with great new products.

Lesson # 2: "What did he just say?"

"I've been burned by offshore firms and have the scars to prove it." CEO of Government Software Vendor

Unfortunately many offshore engagements result in failure. This is a result of unrealistic expectations and mismanaged communication. One client hired an Indian vendor and later pulled the project in favor of a Chinese one. The result was a team of engineers who hardly spoke English; a real project killer. The most important thing in an offshore relationship is to dedicate someone at yours and the vendors end to keep track of project progress. A native language speaking person who also speaks fluent English managing the operation from abroad is indispensable to distributed software development. You can't hire Chinese engineers who speak marginal English and expect the project to go well unless you have a fluent Chinese person on the ground or in the United States with tight relationships with the engineers.

It all depends on the scope of the project; if you're just doing a simple web site, sure, hire someone in China with no supervision. If you're outsourcing an entire engineering team for a software product that will be built over the course of a year, you need to be much more careful. Make the decision to dedicate someone on your side to keep the offshore team on track and demand the same from them. Like any relationship, a little investment and communication from both sides will lead to long-term success.

Lesson 3: Execution is key

"Finding technical resources is easy, finding people who are committed is key" CEO of Global Consulting Company

One thing you'll learn in your search for the right offshore vendor is that there are hundreds of very good offshore vendors in countries like Brazil, China, Russia, Ukraine, India, the Phillipines, Pakistan, and Vietnam. With some of the best engineering schools in the world, these countries churn out hordes of extremely technical graduates with a passion for technology. The governments of many of these countries understand the value of courting Western business; specifically how it will transform their nations into world-class economies. Consequently, they spearhead programs to support their flourishing software industry and attract foreign business.

In an offshore engagement, technical talent is not enough. Firms looking for offshore partners need to closely evaluate the software development process of their vendors. Does the vendor have an established development methodology (RUP, Agile, etc.)? How strictly does the firm adhere to deadlines? Is the vendor oriented towards long-term relationships with the client or do they prefer transaction-based projects? These questions are important to ask because they reveal the underlying culture and beliefs that govern the vendor's development process. In offshore development, as with anything, unanticipated problems appear, but at the moment of truth, your vendor should be mature enough to roll with the punches and get the job done.

You should look for a vendor that is focused on business principles and development methodology rather than technical skills. You want an offshore partner that understands your business and how their development process enhances it. The value in offshore software development does not lie in cheap labor. The value lies in finding a company that understands what you're trying to do, identifies your main challenges, and has a solid process to execute. Looking for vendors based on principles will help you qualify out those firms that sell solely on low price.

Lesson #4: The Relationship Makes Everything Worthwhile

"We're looking for a firm focused on a relationship and longevity." CEO of Canadian Web Development Company

The operative word here is "chemistry". Make sure that both you and your potential vendor are looking for a long relationship. A solid offshore team is an indispensable part of building a sustainable company; good offshore vendors know that and introduce new ideas, propose alternative solutions, and foreshadow problems so you can focus on building your enterprise.

Many offshore firms will be happy to take over your QA work, but what if you have a new product release coming up and your lead developer quits and takes some of his buddies with him? Ideally you should have such a tight relationship with your offshore vendor that they can pick up with no problem. We had a prospective client with the same situation. He was working with two vendors in India, but apparently he didn't have the type of relationship with them where he could have them take ownership of the work. He contacted us and was looking for us to help get his product out on time. We had another similar scenario where a firm had a development team in Bulgaria but still needed our help to create a web-based version of an existing desktop application. Although these firms had an offshore strategy, they couldn't fully benefit from their relationships and had to look for support elsewhere.

Although this point seems similar to Lesson #1, it is worth stating that looking for a vendor that is focused on a relationship and becoming a valuable partner is critical when looking for offshore vendors. Vendors focused on finite tasks rather than the health of the relationship will never understand your business challenges and won't fully adopt your interests as their own. If you're going to hire developers 10,000 miles away, you better make sure that they're in it for the long haul.

Lesson #5: Be Realistic

"Cost, quality, and speed, you can only have two." CTO of California-based software firm

Of course you'll be realistic, but will the vendor? This quote really sums up the attitude you need to take when going offshore because it gives you leverage. "Yes-men" vendors that promise the world will be careful not to promise too much if you display a healthy dose of skepticism. Gone are the days of expecting 60% in savings and drastically reduced development cycles when sending work over the pond. That's not to say that you won't save a significant amount of time and money; it's just important to view outsourcing as a modern-day necessity to remain competitive, not a panacea. Mature offshore vendors understand that their value is to help you "see around corners" and build a sustainable business, not act as cheap labor. Today's outsourcing buyers have to be more aware of offshore development trends and have realistic expectations. Although the cost savings can be tremendous when sending software development offshore, it's important to understand that it requires an investment at your end. In most cases, offshore failure is a result of both sides not being clear about what the other wants, assuming expectations are aligned. It's wise to start with an attitude of caution until the vendors prove themselves by meeting incremental milestones. This will allow you objectively evaluate their process and absorb the consequences of unexpected issues as you nurture the relationship. By approaching the offshore engagement with a realistic attitude, you're seeking progress, not perfection.

Summary

Offshore outsourcing is certainly a surefire way to speed innovation, save money, and reduce time to market. However, as with anything in life, it has its set of challenges. To ensure success, it's important to identify and acknowledge the risks, and communicate them openly with your vendor. Increased awareness and careful planning will make the process worthwhile.

The benefits of outsourcing

Outsourcing is the process where a company uses a third party to perform work that is normally performed in-house. Outsourcing can be used for many different types of activities such as payroll, accounting, sales, distribution or computer programming. In recent years, offshore outsourcing has grown in popularity as companies have discovered that foreign labor is cheap, efficient and the level of English proficiency adequate to facilitate business transactions.

The most obvious benefit of outsourcing is that it can save money. This is not necessarily the most important consideration. Often, companies are stretched for resources and are forced to make strategic decisions about where to best deploy human capital. The opportunity cost of doing tasks that consume time can take focus away from core business activities. Outsourcing can be used effectively to take charge of tasks that detract from business performance.

Outsourcing can also be used effectively in instances where a company is forced to consider hiring and training additional staff. The downtime in selecting a candidate, grooming them for businesses processes and turning them into productive workers is both time intensive and costly. This is amplified in situations that require the additional purchase of equipment such as computer workstations or expensive software. Outsourcing to a competent company that can immediately commence producing the desired solution can be a superior alternative.

In some markets, lead time to market can mean the difference between establishing a competitive advantage or becoming a market laggard. This is particularly evident in technology companies that require fast turn around time on application development. Many fortune 500 companies in the US have discovered that outsourcing programming services to companies in India can produce a superior business outcome. This eliminates the need to establish infrastructure, maintain staff and operate ongoing training and development programs. This also frees up resources that can be deployed for growing other important areas of the companies business.

Medical companies have also discovered the benefits of outsourcing coding and billing work to offshore companies. With highly trained staff conversant in US guidelines and standards, medical companies can dispatch records and have the information turned around by next business day. This can be particularly advantageous to companies that are experiencing growth and need a scalable solution. Established outsourcing companies have existing systems and staff that can be allocated according to the demands of the company. This is a superior solution for companies that would otherwise be forced to source the necessary infrastructure and labor.

Outsourcing has many benefits. Companies that are considering outsourcing should conduct a comprehensive analysis of existing business activities and outsource when it makes strategic sense to do so.

Business Process Outsourcing by Oliver Villegas

Business process outsourcing(BPO) is contracting business functions, such as accounting, product listing, and advertisements(to name only a few) with a third party service provider. For internet based businesses it may come in the form of web design, call centers, and search engine optimization. Think of it as Company A hiring the services of Company B. Company B takes care of most of the work, and frees Company A to have more time to engage in more important business matters, such as management. BPO may save considerable time and effort, and it may be cheaper to do so. This may be possible due to the differing pay rates across countries. For example, the pay rate in India, or China, for that matter, can go considerably low that it would be more practical to hire Indian or Chinese workers than American workers. There are many sites easily accessible on the internet that provide these services, and certainly, this is an option to be considered in setting up your business.

The term offshore is used to describe foreign banks, corporations, investments, and deposits. A company may move offshore for the purpose of tax avoidance or relaxed regulations.

Not only will they provide different data entry services, but they can also offer innovative and customized solutions to fit your requirements. These jobs are being done at much cheaper rates.
A few years ago, data processing was as simple as entering data into a computer. However, the digital revolution has changed this definition. The scope and range of processing has grown and will continue to grow. In the changed business scenario of multinational companies every organization small or big needs accurate business information to conduct its business activities efficiently and successfully

Day to day, consolidated information regarding some of the business activities is required by most of the multinational companies, banking organizations and financial institutions.

Data Entry Outsourcing

Data entry outsourcing is contracting with outside consultants, software houses or service bureaus to perform systems analysis, programming, and data center operations. In the U.S. in 2003, the term took on extra meaning, often referring to jobs being given to people in companies located in India and other countries. The main reason behind outsourcing is the availability of qualified and experienced computer operators at low cost.
Data entry outsourcing is limited to all types of data entry operations e.g. data conversion, document and image processing, catalog processing services, image enhancement, image editing and photo manipulation services, etc.
The need for data entry is constant for some organizations for making day to day decisions. In such cases data entry is a regular and continuous requirement. The types of companies for which this is the case are financial institutions, hospitals, lawyers, court houses, oil companies, transportation companies, Ivy League colleges, pharmaceutical companies, universities, publishing companies etc. For some other organizations data entry may be just a temporary requirement. Accurate and easily accessible data is a necessity for all.
Accumulated data is a powerful management resource. Since data entry outsourcing at lower cost is available, the latent potential of the information accumulated in data which was dumped earlier is being usefully exploited by the organization where data entry is just a temporary requirement.
The combination of digitization of media and the rush to outsource has resulted in a wide range of customers from the UK, USA, France, Norway and more than 20 other countries coming to India, China etc for data entry outsourcing.
Most of the time-consuming data entry jobs are being done by outsourcing. For example, catalog management, which involves handling and maintaining paper catalogs, is not just time consuming, but also expensive. By converting your product catalogs to online and digital catalogs, making changes, and updating your product catalog becomes as easy as the click of a button once data entry has been completed.

The Growth Of Offshore Business Process Outsourcing by Kelly Hunter

In the fast-moving world of Information technology, Business Process Outsourcing, or BPO as it is known, has rapidly taken hold of the industry. It is heralded as the perfect answer to minimising costs, but is it all it's cracked up to be? Sometimes contractors make costly mistakes, as you will gather below.

Services are contracted remotely, with practically no overheads in terms of employee insurance and benefits, let alone running costs of an office. The tasks most appropriate to outsourcing tend to be back office, such as billing and purchasing. Front office tasks would be customer care, marketing and technical support, which many companies prefer to take care of themselves.
The contracted personnel are often located in a different country from the contractor. This is known as offshore outsourcing, and can lead to time-difference problems and delays in communications, particularly between countries where the Internet infrastructure is not very reliable.

The most popular countries for offshore outsourcing are India (commanding a whopping 63% of the market), Eastern Europe, The Philippines and South Africa, with China a more recent runner in the race to supply the occident with low-cost labour. These countries are a natural choice, because of the strong presence of the English language and the extremely low wage costs, which are often about a tenth of what a worker from the same country as the contractor would charge. India, however, seems to be slowly loosening its stranglehold on the industry, having dropped seven percentile points since last year, although BPO there in general is expected to continue to grow. Transferring risks to the outsourced vendor is an attractive prospect, but the range services which can be thus provided is limited. Processes such as human resources, finance and administration are just too complex to be offered on this basis. The BPO market is expected to grow to $146 billion in 2008, although in a fragmented market of single bulk transactions, shared services and vertical processes and applications.

So what is the experience of this kind of contracting? Many companies experimenting with BPO report inflexibility of contracts, management problems and erratic performance. Certain tasks which are expensive to administrate at home are only tentatively being offered to outsourcers, because of doubts about the ability to cope with complex tasks and problems of control of the quality of the processes remotely.

The most likely candidates for offshore outsourcing are repetitive, transaction-intensive processes, although many businesses are unwilling to give up control of the processes because of strategic or security risks. Viable options here would be offshore insourcing or shared service centers. The fastest growing sector of the BPO market is set to be simple bulk transactions, predicted to expand to $58 billion in 2008. This segment includes the simplest tasks for vendors to master, such as credit card or stock trade processing.

Broad shared services will, at $57 billion, be the second most popular sector by 2008, meaning finance, administration and human resources. A smaller segment will be high-volume vertical processes, with a predicted volume of $6 billion by 2008. You can go to http://www.business-process-outsourcing-guide.com to find more information on business process outsourcing.
The smallest, currently at about $5 billion, will be niche vertical applications, although this segment is expected to take a massive upturn once customers become comfortable with outsourcing in these areas, to achieve $24 billion in 2008. These applications include complex processes such as data reporting on the environment and the monitoring of chemical process, matters which require a very high level of specialization.
