6 Offshore BPO Scenario Offshore goes upscale BPO Application management R&D ADM Embedded technology systems Enterprise application implementations But many BPO challenges Business process knowledge Vertical industry knowledge Global delivery models Global resource models Geopolitical angst Pure-play channel immaturity Outsourcing Continuum Complexity/Risk Business Process Outsourcing Divestiture/ Vertical Disintegration Transformational Full Process Shared/ Co-Managed Functional IT Outsourcing Full-process offshore BPO is still largely immature and risky 6

7 Provider Globalization Service providers must become global, not multi-national, to support G2000 client needs Infrastructure to support must be equally global Capability to define Where to develop resources centers Where to source client work & why Managing sourcing locales over time Partner vs. Build it depends Capabilities & resources Cost of capital & opportunity costs Core competencies Ensuring minimal service levels Risk tolerance/aversion Services Globalization Global resource management models Global service delivery processes & methodologies Global operating processes Inorganic Growth IBM & Daksh Citigroup & e-serve Wipro & AMS utilities CGI & AMS The onshore/offshore approach will give way global services provisioning 7

8 Geopolitical Scenario Geopolitical (e.g., Iraq war, terrorism) and related (e.g., SARS) events are impacting offshore costs and risks Job losses are moving from lowerskilled blue-collar to higher-skilled white-collar jobs It s an election year in the U.S. Sell-side and related advocates are largely mute A Company That Will Go to the Ends of the Earth for Its People Will Find It Can Hire Them for About 10% the Cost of Americans 8

9 Economic Evolution Industrial Revolution Begins 1811 Luddite Riots 1942: 32% US Workforce in Mfg. US Population 5.2M, 90% in Agriculture 1945: Western US GDP/Person: $1,400 (1996 $) 1837: Charles Babbage s Analytical Engine India Vegetable Products Formed 1975: 1st PC 1947: 1st Computer Bug Ford River Rouge Coal In, Cars Out 1900: 20% Women in Workforce US GDP: $4,100 US Population 282M, <2% in Agriculture, 13% Manufacturing India GDP: $2,600 Russia GDP: $8,350 US GDP: $36,400 9

10 Compliance Implications on Outsourcing Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), Basel II, various privacy acts, etc. impact business and IT outsourcing Business and IT services providers are becoming effectively regulated Global sourcing will respond to regulatory inconsistencies SOX issues Does not differentiate between insourced and outsourced processes SAS 70 audits not good enough? Regulator clarification late: 2H04 Short-term hindrance, long-term driver for outsourcing Outsourcing the Joy of SOX? Key Issues Visibility? Transparency? SAS 70? Adequate documentation? Auditor role? Client role? Outsourcer role? Compliance mandate create serious challenges and increases risk levels for offshore outsourcing 10

11 Doing Offshore Right Organizations must understand what should and should not go offshore: Consider IP risks, data access/ privacy laws, compliance regulations, other legal issues Organizations must enable adequate processes for: Supplier vetting and selection Supplier relationship management Multiprocess management Governance Organizations must determine how to adequately manage: Distributed/outsourced global business processes Geopolitical risk Vetting and Selection Relationship Processes Contract Processes Governance Technical Processes Performance Processes Supplier Relationship Management 11

12 Summary Learning to Love or at Least Live With Offshore Offshore realities Offshore outsourcing is part of a natural, ongoing economic evolution Viewed holistically, offshore s overall benefits are unassailable The offshore market is maturing rapidly but is still immature The future is global services provisioning Business process and vertical industry expertise will grow in importance Offshore options and processes must be well understood As users mature in their offshore capabilities, they become more viable as well as challenging clientele Alignment of maturity levels fosters success Russia offers solid opportunities as a growing offshore market But more concerted efforts to foster and promote capabilities are required 12
