Captive Centers in Focus

Several business analysts thought that offshore destinations or simply
captive centers would vanish soon. Why not? World-renowned companies like
the Citigroup, Unilever, Deutsche Bank, Dell and other Fortune 500
companies have already shut down their own offshore service centers last
year.

Research claims that many at least 60% of all companies that maintain
offshore locations or is into outsourcing decided to cut their ties with
an offshore outsource SEO provider because these outsourced providers have
failed some expectations.

On a different view, other companies remained unthreatened. Many
entrepreneurs decided to get in touch with firms that offer high quality
SEO consultation services at affordable rates. On the fourth quarter of
2009, for instance, 40 new wholly-owned captive centers or offshore
outsourcing locations were launched and up until this time, many other
companies have already set up new ones.

But what really is an outsourced captive center or offshore outsourcing
destination? A captive center is one of the many outsourcing models
available these days. Like other outsourcing SEO services, this model has
its own advantages and disadvantages, and should be carefully chosen
depending on the needs and requirements of the outsourcing company.

Today, offshore outsourcing is expected to last a long time even with the
maturation of the offshore IT services industry.
