The 25 Most Dangerous Places for Outsourcing
An interesting article popped up in Network World today highlighting the 25 most dangerous places for outsourcing. In addition to simply listing 25 areas with high crime or high risk of terrorist attack, the list also broke down the list the risks by a number of categories.
Of course, lists like this are speculative, at best, but they do highlight something that many corporations fail to fully grasp – when your critical information is being held offshore, the effect of world events can increase dramatically.
Clearly, this article shouldn't be used to justify a "no outsourcing" mentality – such an approach is well out of tune with the times. However, it is useful as a reminder that contingency plans should be treated as critical aspects of any business outsourcing.

One of the key issues with Outsourcing and Offshoring is how to ensure transparency, visibility and quality.

The article failed to note that the same Black Book of Outsourcing study identified the 25 Safest Places for Outsourcing also. Locations like Singapore, Poland, Ireland and Chile are overlooked by the negative hoopla for India’s bad showing.
Most importantly, this was a survey and the ranking is based on the actual perceptions of over 400 US & UK corporate development officers over outsourcing investment. India’s outsourcing hubs were all on the riskiest end of the spectrum and do not seem to be doing anything to affect the opinions of US executives.

When deciding to outsource, the quality of the provider must be considered for effective risk management.
