Capturing the Full Cost Benefits of Offshoring:
Diminishing returns…increasing
competition and the economic climate of the day are leading
more and more companies to seek the cost advantages presented
by offshoring, but those advantages are no longer so easily
attained. As demand grows so does provider sophistication,
and the number of sourcing alternatives begins to multiply.
Capturing the full cost benefits of offshoring requires a
thorough and comprehensive process that must analyze many
factors to include: the current cost state, the transition
timeline, the sourcing models available, and offshoring location
options. The Trowbridge Group has created an innovative process
called FastSource™, which develops a true business case
analysis, and provides corporations who are seeking to explore
offshore alternatives with solutions that will successfully
initiate, implement and improve their sourcing initiatives.
Our sourcing methodology will not only confirm the cost benefits,
but also generate a business model and timeline for cash flow
and investment purposes. Full Paper |

to research by Dallas-based industry consulting firm Trowbridge

Essentials: Ben Trowbridge CEO

Q: - Does the recent collapse
of marquee Mega-Deals send a message that in-sourcing strategies
offer companies a comparable cost advantage?
BT: - The market has clearly shifted. Outsourcing is now in firm competition with IN-sourced solutions where the clients directly access low-cost, high-value labor in Company-owned Offshore Skill Centers. This trend will put providers in a position where they need to deliver unique program management and risk mitigation experience to be an effective and viable solution.
Q: - What countries will be the dominant offshore players to drive the new economy over the next 5-10 years?
BT: - While the India wave has not even begun to crest, a number of interesting countries are on the horizon and riding in as the next wave of providers. The widening set of country players in this game is driven by a classic cost, distribution and customer intimacy problem that will not be solved with an India only solution. For the European zone we like the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Poland; and within the Asia zone there are now multiple options that could be lower cost than India. Each client needs a balanced solution that could involve a number of countries.Continue
