Readiness for India

Chapter 3 in Intelligent IT Offshoring to India, 2010, pp 62-80 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The word ‘offshoring’, useful as it is, draws attention away from the central issue. It is not simply a story of moving jobs to India; instead, it is about a fundamental reorganization of work, in which different tasks are carried out by different individuals and groups in different locations.1 Many CEOs and CIOs have unrealistic expectations of how quickly and easily they can ramp up for offshore and realize savings. The obstacles are not only in India; many retarding elements are also found in the customer companies. Therefore, before embracing an India offshore project, you need to make realistic assessments of your organization’s readiness for change and develop a rational strategy for change.
