Leading team at Stabicon have been proactively trained to handle culture gaps
Government actively promoting uninterrupted power supply and telecom to technology companiesEstablished legal system
US and Indian Governments agreed to de-link the pharmaceutical trade from politics
Perceived risks Why we believe risks can be managed
38
Cultural Gaps
Risk: Corporate culture clash to the difficulties in managing an outsource
provider across large distances and different time zones
Throw in regulatory concerns and proprietary information and relationship management becomes even more difficult.
Mitigation: Focus on the performance and cost, but don’t let the service provider
lead down path of vendor lock-in.
Avoid exclusivity in the contract.
www.stabicon.com
39
Risk: Managing expectations and maintaining relationship with service
providers is essential for the success. Offshore contract do meet expectations becauseI) Firms outsourcing without a clear methodologyii) Disconnect between expectations at management level and what’s
actually delivered at the processes level.
Mitigation: By making sure the parties share a common understanding regarding
critical interactions at the Operational & Management Level for successful outsourcing
Customer Relationship Management

40
Knowledge Transfer
Risk:
Transfer of knowledge from both side of a contract is critical otherwise can lead to broken connectivity .
Mitigation:
Services require external & internal support This result in Decline of productivity during first year of an agreement,
largely due to time spent transferring
www.stabicon.com
41
Implied Cost savings
Risk• Estimate most firm save 30-35% during first year; by third year, cost
savings often reaches 40-45% as companies “go up learning curve “ for outsourcing and modify operations to align to an offshore model.
• Outsourcing solely control cost can lead alignment issue and increased project delay.
Mitigation • Corporation should provide strategy to its business lines of business to
allow them to outsource within guidelines.• Brings in the strategic differential advantage of offshore outsourcing to your business, thereby, enhancing your profitability• Once firm understand its outsourcing drivers, selecting which
application to outsource becomes straight forward.

42
Risk: Product failure/Regulatory/Security compliance failure is in fact one of
the top concerns companies face when outsourcing services to external vendor.
Mitigation:
The key to successful and secure outsourcing agreement is understanding
i) Regulatory compliance followed by schedule third party Audits ii) Security covered by Legal Agreement iii) Privacy risks for a business process covered by CDA iv) Application or technology function outcome covered by Technical
Agreement
