Outsourcing 1.0: Expensive and Inconsistent

Initial outsourcing opportunities offered early adopters significant cost savings. But over time, outsourcing costs have risen while development quality and delivery timeframes have remained inconsistent. These mounting drawbacks represent real obstacles to success and have caused many first movers to question their outsourcing strategies.

Staying the 1.0 course won’t work, but bailing out is not an option. Companies already reliant on outsourcing are stuck with diminishing returns, and those just entering the space are intimidated by the dwindling cost advantages. Many are simply hoping that quality improves more quickly than cost, while others have gone in search of an offshore location that appears immune to rising global wage rates. Neither approach is viable. Fortunately, there is a real alternative to Outsourcing 1.0.
