Offshore outsourcing:
Why consider offshore outsourcing to India?
Offshore outsourcing has been popular for several years. Countries like India are popular offshore outsourcing locations which offer cost effective solutions. There is a wealth of articles and write ups about the cost advantages of offshore outsourcing with a majority claiming anywhere between 40-50% savings.
However, offshore outsourcing has come under attack recently. There is an outcry against outsourcing by parties in the US and UK because of the loss of jobs to people in these countries. Many have pointed out actual costs and poor quality of service as the hidden truths behind the attractive packaging.
Offshore Outsourcing is not just about cost.
One should understand the need for offshore outsourcing better before making a decision. Cost is definitely one of the main reasons for offshore outsourcing to India, but one should realize that this cost advantage may not be seen immediately. Initial investment in infrastructure, training, and other such preliminaries may make one believe that the cost advantage promised is just the illusory pot of gold on the other side of the rainbow.
"The goal is to eventually use Indian vendors as strategic IT partners, both to augment internal IT development capabilities and to help Cable vision plan, design and implement new projects. We're not looking for just the lowest dollar [cost]. We are looking for vendors that will help us mature technically and from a process standpoint as well",

I agree that it's better to outsource those functions that your company is either not strong in or costs more than the return. I think call center outsourcing is a great idea because it's too expensive to manage and maintain technical equipment. You can utilize the center for the peaks and valley of your companies customer service.
