Let's talk offshoring strategies
Jinfo Community
9th March 2023
Description
Information leaders need to demonstrate they are resourcing their teams cost-effectively to maintain and enhance services. Hiring freezes, budget constraints and the shrinking talent pool are forcing leaders to consider alternative ways to resource their teams.
The lowest-cost option is likely to be an offshore location; either using a "captive" site or an outsourced vendor. Whilst these options offer a significant cost advantage, they are not without risk. They need to be carefully scoped, deployed and managed to be a successful, cost-effective solution.
In this session we discussed:
- IS offshoring the right solution?
- Managing expectations
- What does success look like?
- Sustaining the model.
We were delighted that Kaushik Biswas, Director of Business Development at Acuity Knowledge Partners, joined us to share his extensive experience and insights having worked with a wide range of work with clients on their offshoring initiatives.
