Till recent times, arbitrage advantage from Offshoring was the exclusive domain of Large Enterprises. Small & Medium Businesses (SMB), despite facing the same cost challenges, were unable to leverage Offshoring rewards. Prime reasons were lack of offshore understanding, risk aversion and sub critical demand. In addition, lot of initiatives failed due to wrong selection of vendors, sub optimal contracts, governance issues and poor deal structuring. SMBs face the following challenges when it comes to Offshoring..
- Lack of understanding about suppliers’ landscape, leading to risk aversion and confusion.
- Lack of experience and in house expertise in dealing with outsourcing lifecycle.
- No offshore presence and little experience in dealing with offshore territories.
- Management Teams focused on core business and finding it difficult to embark on complex offshore initiatives.
