Outsourcing the Rural Way
Instead of concentrating on big cities in India, Philippines and other offshoring destination, have you ever considered outsourcing in rural areas in these countries?
Apparently, some companies have considered this kind of approach in outsourcing. One of the companies which have tried this kind of method is GramIT. GramIT has an office located in the village of Ethakota in India's Andhra Pradesh state. It employs a total of 50 people doing BPO-related tasks in an office shaded by palms towering up to 30 feet.
This kind of set-up has additional advantage as compared to regular outsourcing done in major cities in offshoring destinations. Some of these advantages include:
-much lower salary rate
-less competition
Of course, there could also be problems when it comes to communication and technology but these problems could be easily fixed.
