Top Outsourcing Destination

India has long been the number one outsourcing destination employed by many western companies. But now many developing countries are desiring to take over India’s place and be the number one outsourcing destination.

Among the many contendors including Philippines, various Eastern European and Latin American counttries - Russia has recently expressed their intents of coveting the said spot and has mentioned several reasons on why they could be the “ideal” destination in outsourcing. Some of these reasons mentioned were:

-stronger technical skills
-low attrition rates
-less cultural difference

Though Russia has indeed these advantages, they should also take note that many countries (particularly those in Eastern Europe) also possess the same characteristics. Putting an “edge” on their campaign for more outsourcing opportunities should be done in order to stand out from other countries with the same goal in mind.

My take on this is that India is going to remain as the number one outsourcing destination for some years, that is because of the extensive infrastructure already in this country invested by US companies and trust me - moving outsourcing vendors is a painful and costly process.
