Modular Global Sourcing
Like the global economy itself, outsourcing has undergone a fundamental transformation. Long viewed as a tactical tool for reducing operations costs and augmenting internal resources, it has become a strategic activity through which companies can flexibly adapt to business change, respond quickly to competition, improve quality, and enter new markets.
In short, outsourcing has evolved into global sourcing — a market enabled by technology, supported by a highly skilled, low-cost worldwide workforce, and defined by a complex array of services, business models and economic imperatives. A new perspective is required to take full advantage of this market transformation, which is based on a deep understanding of how global sourcing can support, not just short-term objectives, but strategic goals as well.
Sourcing Goes Modular
Since 1981, Infosys has led the transformation of the outsourcing market. We pioneered the Global Delivery Model (GDM) to enable the distribution of application and business process lifecycle activities and resources, while ensuring their integration.
Building on our heritage of innovation, we introduced the Modular Global Sourcing (MGS) model in 2004. This set of decision frameworks and planning activities is designed to help you make sound strategic sourcing decisions and achieve high returns on your IT and business process investments.
Global Sourcing Is Much More than Outsourcing
Since our inception, we have worked to expand our worldwide presence and resources to ensure that the right skills are available in the right locations at the right cost, and with the right risk profile. In the process, we have become a truly global provider of sourcing consulting and delivery services. We continue to refine collaborative best practices in sourcing governance, service level and relationship value metrics, as well as data privacy, security planning and management, to ensure that sourcing operations support and deliver the desired results.
