Industry

The global outsourcing industry for software development and services is a large and fragmented. There are literally thousands of service providers varying by levels of maturity, size and specialization. Most developing country from Costa Rica to Pakistan, Vietnam and Philippines have been attempting to attract business from western economies. Competition is fierce. The industry has been maturing for 20+ years. Vendor choice is driven by scalability, flexibility and availability of educated professionals.

Challenge:

In many outsourcing destinations employee turnover is an issue that plagues relationships.  Domain knowledge is a premium characteristic of any strategic engagement, and retention of knowledgeable resources is a vital component to sustaining a competitive advantage. If the work being performed isn’t cutting edge technology and industry, the best resources leave for pastures believed to be in the long-term best interest of the technologist.  Retention is a challenge for captive centers and large engagements. Collaboration during the business day has also become a desire for firms as South and Latin American destinations have proven capable of delivering qualified talent and scaling operations.

Solution:

Global Audit, Tax and Advisory Corporation chose EPIC for flexibility in resource procurement, employee loyalty and retention and technology expertise.  With near-shore facilities in the Central American, Eastern European and Pacific Rim theaters, EPIC can respond quickly to changing regional resource needs.
