With Indian IT resources costing one-third to one-fifth that of their UK-based counterparts, it’s no wonder that global sourcing is becoming more and more mainstream. Global competition, pressure to do more with less, and the need for highly skilled technical resources means IT leaders must look at non-traditional solutions to their staffing challenges. Unfortunately, many IT organizations lack the process maturity that is essential to successfully manage globally distributed project teams. They also lack the scale to attract the larger offshore IT services providers or the reach to identify qualified second-tier providers.

The most important reasons for the Outsourcing are as follows:

• Lowering Costs
• Simple blended model
• Local provider with own offshore capability

Our company offers offshore software application development and maintenance, package implementation, as well as infrastructure maintenance and support enabling our client to reduce their costs, and ensure the quality and availability of their IT systems supporting their business. Noah’s Global Sourcing works with an Optimized Delivery model combining the benefits of proximity to our clients with the cost advantage of our near shore development centers.

The Noah Global Sourcing Near Shore Delivery Services model combines the quality, responsiveness and flexibility normally associated with domestic outsourcers with the cost-savings of an "offshore" development facility.

Sustainable reduction of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

• Cost savings between 20% and 50%
• Innovative models for flexible delivery supported by variable pricing

Flexible Delivery Capabilities

• Access and harness our broad variety of skills and capabilities from all over the globe
• Efficient adjustment of sourcing portfolio depending on client needs

Rigorous Quality as standard

• Commitment to excellence and continuous improvement
• Adherence to industry best practices and standards

Global sourcing factors that must be understood and balanced can be segmented into six categories:

1. Material costs -- price, setup, tooling, transaction and other costs related to the actual product or service delivered.
2. Transportation costs -- transportation, fuel surcharges and other fees included in a freight rate.
3. Inventory carrying costs -- warehousing, handling, taxes, insurance, depreciation, shrinkage, obsolescence, and other costs associated with maintaining inventories, including the cost of money or opportunity costs.
4. Cross-border taxes, tariffs, and duty costs -- often referred to as landed costs, which are the sum of duties, shipping, insurance and other fees and taxes for door-to-door delivery.
5. Supply and operational performance -- the cost of noncompliance or underperformance, which, if not managed properly, can offset any price variance gains attained by shifting to an offshore source.
6. Supply and operational risks -- including geopolitical factors, such as changes in country leadership; tariff and policy changes; and instability caused by war and/or terrorism or natural disasters (e.g., typhoons, earthquakes) and disease, as in Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), all of which may disrupt supply lines.
