What do these companies have in common?

Sears, British Aerospace, General Electric, IBM, Lucas, United Airlines, Swiss Air, Philips, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Citibank, Morgan Stanley, AT&T, Wal-Mart, Reebok, General Motors, Boeing and Sony thought of India when the need of putting up a virtual team to assist their software needs became too hard to ignore.

Why India? Wrong question. “Why not India?” seems more appropriate.

India focused heavily on technical expertise. There is a vast supply of manpower that can deliver programming talent that is at par with its Western counterparts, at a fraction of the cost .

India was voted by most company giants in the US, United Kingdom and Japan as their leading outsource destination. Aside from labor being cost-effective, India can deliver software solutions to virtually all software needs.

Setting up a virtual team in India allows you to concentrate on your company’s competencies that are profit-generating, those that will increase your revenue, while your third-party service provider, or virtual team, does the support functions.

Setting up a virtual team in India is the best option there is, at the moment. Eighteen corporation giants thought so, and they never have wavered in their choice, since then.
