Outsourcing in literal terms, means sourcing from outside. The term is increasingly used to refer to sub-contracting of a set of functions or processes by one firm to another, or to a group of individuals. Outsourcing is being pursued as an active business strategy in the current economic scenario, since it enables a firm to focus on core-competency areas. It also frees the firm from resource and labour intensive functions, which are now performed by trained personnel at much lower costs.

Application sourcing focused on value, not cost aloneWGroup
As part of a four year transformation strategy to replace its aging technology stack, strengthen their expertise and reduce the total cost of ownership, a $12 billion US-based organization was seeking a solution that would resolve problems they were experiencing in the delivery of their applications development, maintenance and support functions. In this case study, WGroup facilitated the outsourcing RFP process with service providers so the client could evaluate partners based on value-creation capabilities, and not on cost alone. The resulting outsourcing contract implemented drove a metric-driven organization, measurable operational improvements, and expanded the service catalog of the IT organization.
This ISG white paper assesses recent trends in the mid-tier sourcing marketplace, and basic considerations faced by buyer organizations with
differing levels of outsourcing experience. Risks and opportunities are discussed, and potential sourcing strategy options and key success factors
are outlined.

Know About Offshore IT Outsourcing
1. Knowledge Base
Know About Offshore IT Outsourcing
By Aman Kumar
Outsourcing in literal terms, means sourcing from outside. The term is increasingly used to refer
to sub-contracting of a set of functions or processes by one firm to another, or to a group of
individuals. Outsourcing is being pursued as an active business strategy in the current economic
scenario, since it enables a firm to focus on core-competency areas. It also frees the firm from
resource and labour intensive functions, which are now performed by trained personnel at much
lower costs. The processes or activities that are being outsourced could range from customer
service and telemarketing, to IT management, software development, market research and even
financial portfolio management.
Outsourcing can be considered a strategic management tool that helps companies concentrate
on their core competence and delegate other peripheral activities to an external agency that
specializes in that task. Division of labor which entails delegating responsibilities to people who
are specialists in what they do, can be seen as a very primitive form of outsourcing. Outsourcing
is a strategic tool used by companies to improve their ability to concentrate on the core
competencies, outsourcing non-core functions. Outsourcing is not contacting or fixing business
processes. It is about creating value. It is about reengineering and being able to provide
customers a greater value faster, at a lower cost and higher quality.
Worldwide companies are using outsourcing as a
strategic tool to improve their ability to concentrate
on the core competencies. By outsourcing non-core
functions, companies are able to concentrate on
improving core competencies, provide customers a
greater value faster, at a lower cost and higher
quality and look at the broader business issues. It
has helped companies gain competitive advantage
by allocating resources to develop new tools,
technologies, methodologies and procedures.
Using outsourcing as a strategic tool companies can gain competitive edge by outsourcing non-
core functions to an outside organization and concentrating on internal reengineering. The
reengineering process is referred to the fundamental rethinking and radical change in the

business outlook, focusing on broader business issues, employing resources towards developing
new tools, technologies and skills. A dramatic improvement in performance may be realized,
providing value to the customer in terms of productivity, quality, service and speed. Thus offering
customers a greater performance at lower cost.
Outsourcing - A Strategic Decision
Decision about outsourcing and what to outsource requires careful assessment and planning. In
this regard, it is different from subcontracting or fixing business processes. In contrast,
outsourcing would involve carefully restructuring the company around its core competencies and
the business relationship with outsourcing partner.
Right reasons for outsourcing and its benefits should be carefully analyzed and clearly
understood. Although strategically the non-core functions are outsourced, a function that does not
fit or is wrong or it cannot be done in house should not be selected. However, the selected
partner would have access to superior technology, higher quality standards, better manufacturing
practices, be able to save time. Consequently, it will translate to lower cost. Internal
benchmarking and competitive analysis tools may be employed to evaluate internal processes
and functions to assess and evaluate your own company and also in the selection of a supplier
partner.
Stages of Outsourcing
Selection of the business process/processes to be outsourced
Selection of a suitable partner
Selection of a suitable engagement model e.g. captive, BOT
Drawing up the Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Key to Success: Why do companies outsource??
One of the most often cited reasons for outsourcing has been the cost reduction factor. Simply
put, what this means is that an organization delegates a job to a vendor who can perform the
same job at a much lower cost. The comparative cost advantage that a vendor offers forms the
basis for outsourcing. Apart from the cost reduction factor there are other reasons as to why a
company would want to outsource. These include:
• Improve focus on core competencies
• Improve focus on broader business issues
• Gain competitive advantage through new tools, technologies, methodologies and
procedures
• Avoid capital expenditure
• Accelerate reengineering
• Offload non-core functions
• Save on manpower and training costs
• Shared/reduced risk associated with reengineering changes
• Reduce operating cost
• Control and redirect valuable resources
• Migrate to new technology
• Gain process knowledge.
• Provide value-added services
• Increase customer satisfaction

Among the most compelling reasons to outsource are: cost reduction, improved customer
service, and access to leading edge technology.
Outsourcing Process Steps: Outsourcing essentially requires three steps
Goal development
Supplier selection
Implementation of business relationship
Goal development:
Success of the outsourcing project may depend upon the assessment of your own capabilities,
needs and expectations. A clear understanding of the expectations and schedule is essential in
the supplier selection and subsequent implementation of the business relationship. Internal
benchmarking and competitive analysis tools may be used or outside consultant help may be
worth the expense.
Supplier selection:
Following supplier attributes and considerations are important.
• Common business and strategic objectives
• Business and cultural compatibility
• Technical expertise
• Quality focus
• Supplier resources
• Business reputation - stability and credibility
• Contract terms – flexibility
• Risk sharing
• Cost
• Consultants help
Supplier’s business and strategic goals should compliment that of your own organization. Cultural
match and compatibility should include the language, values, agreements, commitments, and
written and verbal communications.
Technical expertise and the focus on quality are of utmost importance. The outsourcing partner is
being selected based on the best practices in the industry. Cost is very important, but upfront cost
consideration may lead to a wrong decision. The superior technology, skills, focuses on quality,
availability of resources and qualified people would provide the cost advantage in improved
product, quality and speed.
Supplier should be able to supply adequate resources and be able to expand and grow with the
industry and the client. Stability, credibility and business reputation of the supplier are important in
long-term relationship. Outside consultants are valuable in identifying potential partners and best
practices in the industry. SEMICON West and NEPCON West have offered workshops on
benchmarking.
Implementation of business relationship
Following considerations would result in a strong and successful business relationship.
• Common strategies and goals
• Well-defined project goals and schedules
