MicroSourcing to Specialize on Offshore Outsourcing Solutions for SMBs and Start-ups
MicroSourcing, a Philippines-based outsourcing solutions provider, will offer a set of highly flexible, low cost outsourcing delivery models targeting start-ups and small and medium-sized businesses.
(PRWEB) November 16, 2009 -- The outsourcing industry still seems to revolve around global providers servicing large multinationals. Within the small and medium-sized business (SMB) segment, it is a pretty novel concept to have an offshore team or captive handling one or more business processes. MicroSourcing aims to fill this gap by offering highly flexible and low-cost outsourcing solutions targeting start-ups and SMBs and raise awareness on the advantages of outsourcing. Philip Kooijman, CEO of MicroSourcing, explains:
Custom-built offshore teams enable small companies to grow fast without risk and investment.
”Cost savings, increased manpower and operational flexibility, access to skills, and the ability to focus on the core business are some of the strongest advantages of outsourcing. These advantages could have a very strong impact on companies that are in the start-up or rapid expansion phase. SMBs often face a tough challenge when it comes to attracting and retaining talent and taking on the costs and liabilities of additional office infrastructure and full-time employees. Offshore outsourcing would enable a small company to focus on sales and its core business and grow rapidly without taking on long-term risk or wasting money on capital expenditures.”
MicroSourcing offers various outsourcing service delivery models that match the typical life-cycle phases of a small to medium-sized business. It could start with small project outsourcing like logo design, market research, and data entry. From there, it could grow into larger scale projects fully managed and delivered by MicroSourcing project teams. For clients looking for an ongoing, longer term solution, MicroSourcing offers offshore staff leasing starting from a single part-time employee for a six-month duration. From there, clients can rapidly expand into offshore teams consisting of anywhere from one to hundreds of full-time employees. These offshore teams reflect the advantages of outsourcing, and are true virtual captives in the sense that office space, infrastructure, manpower, workflow processes, and management are fully dedicated to and fully customizable by the client. Mr. Kooijman elaborates:
“Many of our small clients start out with a low-cost, low risk project to test the waters of offshore outsourcing. As their confidence grows and with the inherent advantages of outsourcing, they move towards having their own dedicated team which they typically ramp up quickly. Most of our clients end up using a mix of our various delivery models by having their own core team and using our in-house staff and expertise to temporarily increase their capacity or take on a new process. Our capability to deliver high quality, professional services at low costs and at flexible terms has been the cornerstone of our rapid growth.”
One of the advantages of outsourcing is access to skilled workforce. Filipino workers are known for their great English language skills, immersion in Western culture, and creative and technical skills. These are a perfect match for most of the processes that MicroSourcing currently handles: English language writing, proofreading, research, QA and moderation services, graphic design, web design and development, online marketing, customer and community support, data processing, and IT-enabled production processes.
MicroSourcing believes it has a very powerful business proposition for the small to medium-sized business segment. The biggest challenge is to raise awareness so more SMBs and start-ups will have a better understanding of the advantages of outsourcing.
