Create a custom-made web site

You’ll find it difficult to believe, but some designers don’t design a website from scratch, but actually use ready-made templates. Why is this not good enough? Because every enterprise is unique; it has different merchandise, provides different services, deals with different clients, and therefore different objectives. Your business website should be designed especially for you, to suit your demands, to meet your expectations. If you want to allow clients to buy your goods online, the site should be devised to facilitate this. If on the other hand, you just want to present your products and convince clients to contact you, the design should be different.

st – 21 October, 2008 – Outsourcing Associated bodies and Branch Associations from the Baltics, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania consolidate their resources and established Central and Eastern European Outsourcing Association (CEEOA) with the purpose to promote CEE region as competitive alternative to other Global offshoring destinations, and to increase services delivery quality and volumes under recognized standards.

Central and East European (CEE) countries are very small players in the Global market for IT and business process outsourcing. Lack of international trade practice and modern business management competencies by CEE vendors are among the factors keeping CEE region from realizing considerable opportunities created by globalization.

Therefore CEEOA strives to attract considerable attention to the region as an offshore outsourcing location, along with thousands of qualified graduates entering the marketplace each year. Service providers in these countries offer geographic proximity combined with cultural and language affinities, constantly improved business viabilities and services delivery capabilities, and openness to collaborate. The macro economical and political environment is stable, infrastructure is well developed.

CEEOA focus is on all service areas, not only IT, BPO and high tech industries, as its important to consider outsourcing as a non industry specific phenomenon. CEEOA is an open platform for all the organizations and businness associations in the region who are willing to join it or to contrubute to the accomplishment of its goals.

CEEOA operates as an independent professional advisory body on networking partnership basis, – its critical Objective is to create, develop and communicate positive image and main value proposition (-s) of CEE region as competitive alternative to other global IT, business processes and manufacturing outsourcing destinations.

The Association also strives to develop the internal market, where outsourcing should be promoted as a useful management tool for companies ranging from different industries in CEE region. Other Objectives are: to promote transparent and open business environment, CEE regional and international networking that builds operational value by promising and delivering high quality products and services at fair prices over the time, and by building strong economic, technical and social ties among the members of CEEOA and free competition; to improve business viabilities and services delivery capabilities of CEE Service providers; to promote creation and introduction of science-intensive technologies, the development of information society; to encourage each CEE country to increase the level of collaboration between government, companies, and universities to ensure that students gain the skills that companies require.

CEEOA intends to achieve these Objectives with the use of different marketing communication tools as PR, ATL and BTL activities, and the establishment of standardized certifications of Vendors‘ qualification. Besides initiating permanent researches to follow the main indicators of outsourcing, political, economic, and investment market features, Association wishes to maintain value added relationship network with associated outsourcing industry bodies, chambers of trade and industry and professional associations globally, while creating a single information flow promoting and sharing the best practices, expert information and research findings, benefits and innovative solutions in the outsourcing industry from CEE.

ValueNotes conducted an executive briefing session, at Regus Business Center, Friday, March 6th, 2009 to present findings of their recently released report ‘Market Research Outsourcing – Buyer Survey’. The session was attended by senior executives from Ugam Solutions, Dexterity, Exevo, Annik Technology, Cross-Tab, TCS BPO, WNSGS, Integreon, IDC, and Datamatics, among others.

The event started off with a presentation by ValueNotes on the key findings and future outlook of the MRO industry. It was followed by panel discussions on the future of market research offshoring business and funding opportunities in MRO services.

While cost arbitrage has been a primary driver for offshoring, the survey brings to light that research agencies rate other factors like faster turnaround time, better quality of work as equally important. Interestingly, quality of work and client confidentiality issues emerged as key concerns towards offshoring.

While offshoring drivers and concerns remain similar across key markets like US and Europe, these markets differ significantly in their choice of offshoring destinations.

The MRO service provider landscape ranges from the captives of large research agencies to Pure-play MROs, full service research firms, KPOs and large and medium BPO service providers. The survey shows a clear inclination by research agencies towards using multiple options in offshoring. The larger research agencies have greater inclination to set up captives or employ specialized MRO service providers. Mid sized agencies prefer to work with full service research agencies while smaller firms are most comfortable with service providers of comparable size.

Today, while the MRO services industry is on a rapid growth path with research agencies and corporates offshoring greater volumes and more complex work, the future growth will be largely driven by niche opportunities in adjacent areas, developing capabilities to serve the relatively smaller research agencies and taking up more services higher up the value chain.

The first panel discussed trends in the MRO industry and its future outlook in current economic environment. Panelists included Sunil Mirani, CEO- Ugam Solutions, Pravin Shekhar, CEO- Dexterity, Alok Tayal, CEO- Exevo and V K Raman, CEO- TCS BPO, discussed strategic options to negotiate the economic downturn.

Commenting on the outlook for MRO services in recession , Sunil Mirani, CEO, Ugam Solutions, opined that marketing budgets have taken a hit and there has been retrenchment of work (volumes), however, with some companies offshoring and some preferring not to offshore, net-net the equation will balance out. Alok Tayal, CEO Exevo highlighted an opportunity due to increase in cost pressures.

Panelists agreed that MRO service providers will have to look at additional opportunities and focus on delivering technology driven solutions in near future.

The second panel discussion focused on funding in the knowledge services segment and explored reasons for comparatively lower funding in MRO services segment. Panelists included Rahul Sahgal, President and CEO, Annik Technology, Manish Modi, President, Exevo and Ashwin Mittal, Director, Cross-Tab.

While exploring reasons for lower level of VC funding, especially in MRO services, panelists agreed that high valuations and smaller scale in MRO were factors that weakened its attractiveness for funding. Manish Modi, President Exevo was of the opinion that venture capitalists do not believe that the market for MRO is as large when compared with other BPO segments. He said they typically look at investing much larger amounts (close to a couple of millions dollars), which is huge for MRO service providers. If an investor were to sell his/ her stake it would be an attractive opportunity for a larger MRO company or large BPOs. Rahul Sahgal of Annik opined that BPOs or larger MRO companies themselves will be a logical option to buy a MRO company if an investor looks to sell out its stake. Manish Modi of Exevo, was of the opinion that the ultimate exit to any funding is through an IPO. This was debated by the panel.

On the subject of attracting VC funding, Ashwin Mittal of Cross-Tab emphasized the importance to attract and retain best-of-the-class talent; a measure to demonstrate capabilities. Manish Modi, on the other hand, highlighted the need to identify better opportunities in the near future but something that people are not doing currently.
