Issues of offshoring

In the global market of outsourcing, India remains the undisputed king. However, China is a close competitor with Manila struggling to catch up. Nevertheless, there are certain issues that stand as a roadblock to these countries trying to take away India’s supremacy in outsource domain.

The English language is a major issue while offshoring outsource. India's advantage has always been the large pool of inexpensive, English-speaking talent. The British left the English language and the university system in India, However there's a lot more work to be done before China is comfortable with English.

Another big risk is political background. With all of the growth in China heavily concentrated on the eastern seaboard, there is intensified divide between rural and urban life. Unless the government can deliver 7 percent or 8 percent growth annually, a fast-enough growth rates that the poorer citizens will buy into you could have a revolution in your hand.

Though China claims to have more robust internal IT structure, networks, and so forth, than India the fact remains that the years of outsourcing experience that Indian companies have garnered still stands to their good. The necessary technological infrastructures are far more advanced than in an other country and the highly skilled professionals in various fields like IT, management, finance & banking, insurance, health, economics, engineering - the list goes on – makes India the more attractive option even with its slightly rising labor cost.
