start, from architecture through to support
When it comes to
offshoring, you generally get exactly what you pay for, and the service levels
may not live up to business needs or expectations. If providers are overseas it
can also prove challenging to support and deal with issues quickly. The
offshoring model may appear cost effective at the outset, but if problems occur
someone will typi usatimes.cc cally have to travel to the offshoring country to resolve
these problems, which results in unnecessary travel expensive and long
downtime, which for certain mission critical IT areas such as the database is
not acceptable and could cripple the business.
“To deliver
appropriate services to local companies, it is typically best to have a local
outsourcing provider who will understand this culture and way of doing business
and thus will deliver
usanews.cc better quality of service” Gerrit-Jan Albers, Service Delivery Manager
at RDB Consulting
As a result of these and other factors, the overseas outsourcing and offshoring trend has started to reverse, and o news rganisations are once again looking for local outsource providers to deliver, particularly with regard to mission critical IT services such as database and operating system support. Local providers understand local conditions, needs and ways of doing business, and have a cultural affinity that makes doing business a far smoother process. ensures that onsite support can take place for faster response and more effective problem resolution. As much as technology has evolved, a face-to-face presence makes achieving clarity on problems and issues far easier, and these onsite resources can also be involved in projects from the start, from architecture through to support and maintenance, ultimately delivering superior service levels.
