The ODC Setup

Greenfield Setup versus ODC-provider support

When most people think of setting up an ODC, they worry about its legal and administrative challenges and the workload it adds to upper management’s current load. The alternative to setting up everything yourself is to go with WorldPartner and benefit from many years of world-class outsourcing expertise.

Once you have decided that an ODC is the way to go, the next question is whether or not you should utilize an ODC-provider, like WorldPartner, or you should set it up yourselves. The equation will be rather simple as long as your team is less than 20 people, since your costs of setting up own facilities and running an offshore company will far outweigh the profits that WorldPartner gets from the cooperation. Once your team reaches 25-30 people you should carefully consider the value that WorldPartner offers in terms of:

• Market knowledge;
• Resource access and flexibility;
• Recruitment expertise;
• Tools and methodologies;
• Infrastructure;
• Staff management, and
• Entry and exit costs.

Production-wise, any ODC with less than 50 people will always benefit from WorldPartner’s services.
