According to IAOP (International Association of Outsourcing Professionals) predictions, “With available labor from layoffs in many industries and tightened risk profiles of companies, especially in the financial services industry, companies won’t have to go far offshore to find talent.

Planned initiatives by Barack Obama and increased government spending on infrastructure projects could lead to more domestic outsourcing, particularly for construction, real estate and technology. Outsourcing destinations such as India and China will be challenged by the closer-to-home locations.”

In fact, the following 3 different reasons are given importance for the development and growth of IT outsourcing onwards. These are:

  • The massive lay-offs in the financial services are creating available qualified manpower, hence reducing the shortage of talents.

The idea of massive lay-offs lay on the foundation of having more people on the market but IT industries such as SMB’s should hire individuals who have highly technical expertise for the success of business enterprise.

  • The new Administration is likely to create incentive programs for keeping jobs inshore.

Barack Obama’s idea is a good way of keeping inshore jobs and operations unless all workers and service providers must be legible and highly skilled and professional in their ways on how to work in a business venture like in an outsourcing business companies and industries.

  • Nearshore destinations (Mexico, Costa Rica, etc.) are to gain momentum on offshore destinations (China, India, Eastern Europe, etc.).

Because of the many talents pool in the China and India and low labor costs compare to United States of America, the drive of US government to rely much on the workforce and manpower from the leading offshore destinations gives them an idea that global competition is always normal and they should have equipped themselves amidst the economic downturns and crisis occurrences.
