How To Make
Outsourcing Successful
Reduce costs and increase profits without compromise.
All while accessing a deeper, wider talent pool.
Managing an offshore team is almost exactly the same as looking after your team at home.
To make it work, you need to be prepared to invest some time and energy into your team.
Here are 5 tips that will help you make an ongoing success of your offshore team.
Take the time
Offshoring is an opportunity to expand your business faster and save on costs. However, to make it work you’ll need to invest time up front. It’s not a ‘set and forget’ solution. You need to train, mentor and speak with your offshore team on an ongoing basis, just as you do with your onshore team. This will improve the quality of service for both you and your customers, and consequently lead to a stronger return on investment.

Indirect cost savings
If you employ locally, what happens when you grow faster than expected, and you need to move to a bigger office? The investment you made in your previous office fit-outs goes to waste and the move to your new office causes your business to grind to a halt.
Or what if you need to downscale? It’s near impossible to reduce the term or scope of your office lease. And even if you could, what do you do with all your extra computers and other IT infrastructure?
With MicroSourcing, you don’t have to worry about any of this. If your offshore team needs a bigger office, we handle it. No wasted fit-out costs, no downtime. And if you need to downscale, we handle that too – with none of the inefficiencies and sunk costs.
Either way, you simply continue paying a monthly fee, on a per seat basis.
Take the time
Grow without CAPEX
All growing businesses struggle to grow fast, because growth is always restricted by limited financial means. You end up being forced to make tough choices: do we expand the office or spend more on advertising?
With MicroSourcing, you don’t have to make all the big, up-front investments that are typically associated with rapid growth. Everything’s part of your fixed monthly fee – office space, infrastructure, recruitment fees, the lot. So growth is essentially an OPEX item, rather than a CAPEX item. This means you can avoid the tough choices altogether.
