Very nice post by Phil Fersht, a recognized sourcing industry advisor, analyst and practitioner.

He made an exception and recommended our little movie on selecting an overseas location for an outsourcing team. “I’m not unusually one for commercials, but I was sent this cute clip - for a small software development outsourcing firm called Nearsoft - which comes up with some very compelling arguments for nearshoring software development work to Mexico for Californian businesses; namely that Mexican nearshoring costs on average 65% of the US costs, compared to 85% for Indian costs for software development services.”

BTW, Phil’s prime areas of focus include BPO (Finance, HR, Procurement) and ITO, particularly in the financial services and technology verticals.
