Offshore IT Support – India

When a company is manufacturing it’s products & services in its own country but handed over some business activities to other organization in a foreign country, is known as Offshore Support. As it is the time of competition every firm wants to reduce its operation cost & want to get rid of the IT related issues hence they use offshore IT support. It is used on a big platform by the firms offering NOC Services remotely.
The information technology outsourcing is a process of having technical activities and support from an outsider business provider remotely. There some more offshore outsourcing such as a BPO & KPO. These contain the work of call centers, monetary claims etc. and knowledge based operations are performed in a KPO by the employees in a different company. It can be done through a subsidiary of the same firm in the same country or in a remote place.
Due to the high overhead costs in the United States many foreign countries have now started to outsource a technical department for support. India is the hub of the IT firms providing many types of support services like network support, Business Server Support and monitoring etc. and they have a good manpower of skilled engineers and no communication problems. When the Y2K Bug came a big requirement of cheap programmers arose and the foreign countries start looking at overseas for this potential.
India was having the potential so the American firms started to outsource almost all the services from here and other Asian countries as well. Most of the engineers overseas were NRIs; they have strong links with their family and friends in India, this helped a lot in outsourcing a good force of English speaking skilled technicians and engineers. With the high demand of efficient software engineers for the Y2K problem helped India to grow higher in the IT sector. In the twenty first century due to high domestic interest rates and inflation the increase in the wage in the IT sector was experienced up to 10-15%. In this way the foreign firms experience a lot of benefits from offshore outsourcing.
The firms who use offshore outsourcing get the befit of high speed data transfer electronically. The project team is skilled and flexible and can do work on a 24 X 7 basis. There will be no need to train the engineers and the cost of training is saved. The technology and softwares used are updated and latest. The cost difference is the main cause of off shoring because if you create an in-house department it will costs more. In this way the companies take the advantage of reducing the operation costs and generate more revenues.

Importance of Managed Security

The market of IT with respect to Managed Security Services adopted by various industries is increasing at a fast rate. Because of the trends and patterns of the computer attacks and various threats to the servers and networks it is very important that organizations should possess reliable information security. It is good to outsource managed security services with a contract with any managed security services provider (MSSP).

A few organizations are still using outdated devices but when the managed security services entered the market they realize to upgrade with the latest devices. If organizations even they are providing NOC Services want to experience shared costs, 24×7 coverage and latest tools they should consider security outsourcing to a reliable partners or third parties. To choose a perfect MSSP for managed risks is critical. For this, companies should consider experience, ability to execute, long term stability, skills and expertise and support functions. It’s important for an MSSP to look beyond the obvious IT budget the client has, and help them find ways to avoid productivity loss, security breaches and workflow inefficiencies.
The Indian Industry has reached the level where organizations should adopt the MSS model which is helping in improving the security posture & reducing the operational costs. With the expansion of infrastructures in India the growing business requirements and focusing on managed security has become a challenge, especially with business being conducted from offices located across various locations. The managed security model helps organizations focus on their key business with the comfort that security is being controlled by the experts. Also there are some pros and cons of taking an MSS.
