GLOBAL IN-HOUSE CENTRES (GICs)

If you are interested in seeing whether this is the right approach for you, we can guide you through the entire decision making process, based on hard data and real life examples extracted from over 40 successful Indian transitions.
Should you chose to proceed, then we can programme manage the complete process, assuring operational stability and that the maximum benefits are delivered.

-
Run Costs: 1/3rd of those in the UK
-
Run Costs: 40-70% less then an existing outsourcer
-
SLA Improvements: up to 25%
-
Increased Flexibility: Substantial
-
Increased Scalability: Substantial
-
Total payback: Less than 12 months including all fees
Because we are the leading experts in this field, we can rapidly construct and validate the Business Case that you will need to justify your investment and convince your Board that this is the right direction for you.
You can rely on our proven experience and detailed knowledge of how to operate in the Indian Market to ensure your success.
Our range of services would normally include:
-
Rapid Initial Analysis, Business Case and Board Presentation
-
Negotiation and agreement with your existing supplier(s), if applicable

Legal and Taxation Advice including TUPE, to the extent that it applies

Location, negotiation and acquisition of the requisite property in India
-
Setting up your Off Shore office and organisation structure
-
Assured transition from your current operations to the new Off Shore facility
-
Transformation to optimise Off Shore IT & BPO performance, if required
Our proven approach will significantly improve your bottom line, whatever your existing sourcing arrangements. We will deliver in any of the following scenarios:
-
First time Off Shore set up
-
Insourcing existing Off Shore arrangements from a third party
-
Consolidating disparate sourcing arrangements
-
Delivering a Build Operate Transfer model
-
Optimising your existing sourcing blend
In addition to this, our specialised knowledge of Indian taxation regulations, within Special Economic Zones, will ensure that maximum tax benefits are also obtained.
Why dilute your profitability by outsourcing (or continuing to outsource) to one of the major players resulting in a loss of control, higher costs and reduced flexibility and scalability.
Our highly experienced team is currently working on their 41st Indian Off Shore project. When this is completed we will continue to lead the World in this field with 41 successful deliveries under our belt.
