Right Shoring: Unlock hidden value in your IT Outsourcing strategy

In the evolving global marketplace, aligning business processes across various locations is essential for growth and sustainability. Cegeka is mastering the concept of right shoring: an advanced approach to outsourcing that goes beyond traditional cost-saving measures to integrate strategic considerations. Here’s how Cegeka's right shoring approach can transform your business for competitive advantage worldwide.

What is Right Shoring?

Right shoring is a strategic approach to outsourcing that leverages the benefits of onshore, nearshore, and offshore locations to maximize competitiveness and efficiency. Here's a breakdown:

• Onshoring: Conducting business in your home country. Benefits include improved quality control, increased responsiveness, reduced risks, and simplified regulatory compliance.
• Nearshoring: Outsourcing to nearby countries. This offers cost savings, minimal cultural, language, time zone differences, and access to skilled resources.
• Offshoring: Relocating processes to distant countries. Key advantages are significant cost savings, around-the-clock operations, increased flexibility in resources, and enhanced global reach.

Right shoring involves selecting the optimal geographic locations for specific use cases and business processes based on factors like client proximity, talent availability, cultural alignment, regulatory compliance, and risk management. This approach aims to achieve operational excellence and strategic alignment between IT services and business goals in a cost-efficient manner.

Explore Untapped Possibilities with Right Shoring

Access to Global Talent Pools - Cegeka’s right shoring strategy taps into global expertise, providing local skills and ownership, combined with access to specialized teams in locations such as Romania, Moldova, Greece, India, and Columbia. This approach fosters innovation and sustains a competitive edge by leveraging diverse skill sets and knowledge bases while continuing to work in close cooperation with each other.

Flexibility and Scalability Right shoring is agile, allowing businesses to scale operations swiftly in response to market demands, project needs or resource needs. This flexibility ensures competitiveness and responsiveness in dynamic markets.

Cost Efficiency Economic considerations remain crucial. Right shoring helps determine the most efficient location for each task, ensuring the best value for investment without compromising on quality or agility.

Risk Mitigation Diversifying operations across multiple locations reduces exposure to localized risks such as political instability, natural disasters, or economic fluctuations. A strategic approach to right shoring includes thorough risk assessment and management, building resilience and continuity into business processes.

Strategic Location Choosing the right operational locations enhances customer service and efficiency. For instance, locating technical IT operations near university cities can provide access to emerging talent and innovative research.

Time Zones Leveraging different time zones can facilitate the ‘follow-the-sun’ principle. This allows for easier access to 24/7 maintenance, monitoring, and support of IT environments, ensuring continuous service and quick response times.

Enhanced Competitiveness By optimizing costs, accessing global talent, and mitigating risks, right shoring helps businesses maintain a competitive edge in the global marketplace.

Implementing Right Shoring: Your Needs First

Cegeka’s approach to right shoring is driven by a deep understanding of each client’s unique needs. Here’s how we do it:

• Analysing Task Specifics: Each business process, from IT to customer service, is thoroughly examined to determine the most suitable location or mix of locations based on its specific requirements and strategic importance.
• Assessing Operational Maturity: Startup or new processes often benefit from onshoring due to the need for active management, while mature processes might be better candidates for offshoring. We can also work with a mix of both.
• Ensuring Cultural and Communication Cohesion: Effective communication and cultural alignment are crucial for seamless global team collaboration.
• Leveraging Robust Infrastructure and Technology: We assess the technological infrastructure of potential locations to ensure reliable and high-quality service.
• Navigating Regulatory Landscapes: Ensuring compliance with local and international regulations is essential for effective right shoring solutions.
