Calm waters for offshore outsourcing

Despite some evidence that offshoring did little or nothing to help U.S. original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), the practice across industries has doubled since 2004 according to a survey recently published by CFO magazine.

Not only have the numbers grown, but also the spectrum of services using offshore outsourcing. These services range from the traditional information technology services, to legal research, and analysis of medical test results.

Also, favorite offshoring destination is still India with China as a big competitor. On a lighter note, CIO magazine ran a fun head-to-head comparison between these two countries showcasing their respective comparative advantages when it comes to IT outsourcing.

Hey, what about offshoring to Russia, Ukraine, Belarus ? These countries also have a certain percentage of the IT market....


The Philippines are also competitive when it comes to IT. We have a lot of universities that focuse on IT courses. Aside from this, Filipino workers are known to be hardworking and trainable. So I suggest trying Philippine outsourcing as well.
