You’ve decided to outsource your IT functions to India. You’re not expecting a medal are you? That was an easy decision. It is a no brainer.
I mean, really! Who's going to dissuade you when you have:
- Qualified resources at half the cost
- 24x7 operations with the global time difference
- No employee related regulatory requirements and overheads
- No rising health insurance costs and payroll taxes to deal with
- Flexibility in staffing levels and skill sets
- No expensive and time-consuming recruitment process
- No need to provide office space, phones and computers to new hires
- No Friday night pizza parties (ok, maybe that was the fun part)
And on-and-on . But you already know this and so does your uncle who, only two years ago, thought "IT" was a grammatical mistake. You made the decision in one insightful swoop; no need for divine help here
So, why are you posting that IT opening on Monster.com?
Irksome, isn't it? You finally decide to do something that you know will be great for your company's bottom line. The beginning of a new year, all that excitement, a weak moment and before you know it, the resolution is made; and then...and then.... um... it falls by the way side. It's a tad more involved than you had imagined.
You've sent out emails to the big offshore outsourcing firms, uh
, 4 maybe 5 inquiries? No response, despite twiddling thumbs and all.
Perhaps, you surmise, they are not interested in working with companies
that don't sport a million dollar petty cash drawer. Unh! Perhaps.
Not one to be easily discouraged, armed with your reliable coffee mug,
you scour the internet looking for companies offering offshore IT services.
Nothing really jumps out at you. You find a number of smaller offshoring
companies that offer project-based services but provide no way for you to choose
your offshore employees or have complete control over your operations.
You can't afford to have your projects delayed or mismanaged, what with the
vexing problem of finite resources and a thousand dollar petty cash drawer.
Just when things are looking bleak and the faint glimmer of hope is in danger of fading.
Ok, curb your excitement. I wouldn't encourage you to follow Archimedes' example and go running down the
street in your birthday suit or else you'll be making international
calls to your offshore lawyer from a 3x3 feet cell.
Are jail cells really that small? And are there no lawyers available locally? Good riddance! Tsk, Tsk!
We shall ponder these deep questions in due time but for now we persevere; once more into the breach then.
