Outsourcing is one of the main directions businesses are focusing on, especially in the recent years. From sportswear to computer hardware, many Western companies are taking advantage of the Eastern world in terms of educated work force, cost efficiency and geographical strategies but maybe the trend is already shifting.
IT outsourcing, while until recently mainly spread in India and other Asian countries is now shifting a bit to the west and positioning in Eastern Europe. Some may argue that this step is not very cost efficient but there are other issues to take into account.
Being in the same or a close time zone allows the work hours for one company to be virtually doubled for one day, thus utilizing the most of the employee reaction time. This is very important considering the mobile world we live in and the demand for a quick and adequate response to the customer base. It is vital that the customers receive timely updates on the issues they have and corresponding help in real time.
