Technology Consulting Services

Those of us that are passionate about technology and providing solutions for our clients using technology have watched a great deal of work go to foreign competitors with India leading the pack.  Business IT Outsourcing has been a part of every global organizations operational strategy for sometime mainly because it cost less.  The argument for overseas outsourcing was that any organization can get IT resources, application development and information technology consulting service for much less investment by going to foreign countries.
 

There were problems mainly language barriers, delivery problems; and the insistence of large Indian firm delivering services in their preferred format not in a custom format tailored to your organization.  Still the cost factor outweighed the negatives. But now the cost benefits no longer appear to be the strategic advantage they once were.  With the fall of the real estate market in the United States, the escalating cost of oil and the de-valuation of the dollar foreign outsourcing is not the bargain it once was.

Know who the outsourcing bargain might be now?  Possibly it’s America. With the U.S. economy in a rut, the value of the rupee rising and wages increasing, mid-market CIO’s have good reason to look beyond India and instead evaluate opportunities in places such as Canada and South America as off-shoring alternatives, analysts say.   Even US based companies have been offering attractive price incentives in hopes of building long-term business partnerships.   Learn more:
