Bringing Outsourcing Home
BERLIN and MUMBAI, February 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
India is the world's offshoring hub. A country spilling over with quality graduates -
many of them in IT - and English skills honed from a very early age is home to six of the
world's ten leading offshoring cities, according to the Handbook of Global Outsourcing and
Offshoring.
The English-speaking countries have found a good-quality place to outsource their IT
services with India, while the DACH countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) are getting
increasingly active, which is one of the reasons Germany Trade and Invest will be at this
year's NASSCOM India Leadership Forum 2013 in Mumbai from February 13-15.
"India has been important to Germany during the global economic crisis," said
Asha-Maria Sharma, Germany Trade and Invest's Business Representative for India.
"German companies are able to outsource IT needs economically to good quality service,
while India's leading companies are becoming better able to cement their positions in
Europe by investing in Germany."
This is important for both sides. The outsourcing boom will eventually slow down as
the companies reach the point where all the jobs that can be outsourced overseas are so,
while productivity improvements in Germany reduce the need for further outsourced roles.
Many companies who rushed to save costs during the crisis have found they sacrificed
some of their identity and connection with key business components by outsourcing them.
"What we are seeing though, is that companies are still looking to outsource services,
just closer to home," continued Sharma.
"So Indian companies able to bring investment and locations to Germany will be able to
reap the benefits of continued custom and that from their position within Europe."
Germany Trade & Invest is the foreign trade and inward investment promotion agency of
the Federal Republic of Germany. The organization advises foreign companies looking to
expand their business activities in the German market. It provides information on foreign
trade to German companies that seek to enter foreign markets.
