STRATEGIC OUTSOURCING INCREASING SHAREHOLDER VALUE THROUGH TRANSFORMATIONAL OUTSOURCING Transformation outsourcing is a new paradigm in global sourcing.

It is adopted by organizations that are looking at accelerating its growth or repositioning itself in the market. IT combined with business process reengineering is often the transformational lever. In a study of about 20 organizations across the globe that embarked on such initiatives when there business strategy was at stake, 16 actually achieved excellent, enterprise level outcomes.

Successful transformation outsourcing adoption is a result of phased approach starting right from analysing the need of transformation outsourcing to its successful execution.

Key characteristics of Transformational Outsourcing are:

Outsourcing core, business critical activities along with non-core areas Evaluating from an opportunity focus rather than a cost focus Implementing using a concerted organizational change initiative often led by the CEO. OUTSOURCING FOR STRATEGIC & TACTICAL OBJECTIVES

Cost saving has been one of the most important objectives in any global sourcing decision. Author in this paper emphasizes on many strategic and tactical objectives/benefits that can be derived out of a well thought-out outsourcing or off shoring decision, other then cost saving. Benefits can be tactical like rapid scaling for short-term, high-volume tasks to strategic like reaching out to new customer segments, tap low-margin high-volume customer segments, penetrate new geographies, leverage new channels, conversion of fixed cost to variable cost.

Global sourcing decision is also taken with the objective of adapting to Market Force, covering for skills shortage, technology and connectivity Advancements, access to global best practices, business continuity & disaster Recovery.

While most of the strategic and tactical objectives/benefits described in this Paper inherently have the ability to improve efficiency of operations and/or improve the competitive abilities of the user enterprise, absolute cost savings should not be the sole objective of an outsourcing decision. The focus should instead be on the strategic value gained in return for the investment made, which could be higher in some instances, than the cost of doing it in house.

TRANSFORMATIONAL OFF SHORING: WHY AND HOW?

This Paper on transformational off shoring discusses some of the biggest challenges faced by organizations in aligning their IT applications to the business. The role of an offshore strategy in transforming those applications so as to align them with their business while they are offshore is a central theme of this Paper. The Paper also focuses on the methodology involved in defining Transformational Off shoring strategy with a list of parameters that needs to be evaluated.

Effective Transformational Off shoring strategy is driven by:

Selection of an appropriate Offshore Engagement Model (Build-operate -transfer/ captive unit/ Offshore development centre/ JV)

Identification of transformational application candidates in the early stage of offshore planning process

Identification of metrics (including ROI, Application-value) to be monitored throughout the relationship

Addressing change management Developing an appropriate transition and transformation roadmap.

DE-MYSTIFYING GLOBAL SOURCING

"In-sourcing", "out-sourcing", "captives", "third-party", "onshore", "near-shore", "offshore", "shared services", "ITO", "BPO" and many other such words and acronyms have crowded the media over the last decade. As the merging of global economies accelerates, such jargon continues to evolve rapidly with confusion all over, about what all these really mean. This White Paper explains the sourcing jargon, compares the pros and cons of some of the

sourcing models, and tries to dispel some myths around the benefits and challenges of outsourcing. GUIDELINES FOR PLANNING ON OFFSHORE OUTSOURCING Offshore outsourcing IT services has been growing in the region of 30% per annum in monetary terms in recent years and has been fuelled by a focus on cost savings. However, the growth in the use of off shored services has showed that its benefits are no longer just about price - they can include service quality improvements, scalability, better risk management and freeing up internal resources to focus on core value adding activities.

The leading offshore service providers have refined their approach to customer relationship management, commercial management and service delivery to become highly professional organisations delivering a full range of consulting services, software applications development and management, IT infrastructure management, help desks and business processing outsourcing. Positive answers to many of the traditional concerns about off shoring are now available from 25 years of offshore service delivery and market development. This article presents an introduction to offshore outsourcing, discusses the risks and issues involved, and gives guidelines for setting the offshore strategy and delivering the benefits from off shoring.

Consolidation, deregulation, new technologies, competitive pressures and new customer service demands affect the Utilities industry on a daily basis.

SERVICE OFFERINGS Integrated Technology and Operations (iTOPS) Softorix iTOPS framework is a way to deliver standardized IT/BPO services to customers. It leverages the principles of product standardization in the manufacturing sector. The following are key elements to iTOPS

Define the right parameters for the service. Develop the right combination of technology, process and people to consistently meet the quality and cost specifications.

Many times, companies find it difficult to invest in new technology and process improvement either due to high costs or lack of scale. These customers realize limited benefits from business process outsourcing. This is where iTOPS solutions deliver dramatically improved results. Softorix makes the upfront investment in building technology and process platform. The clients pay only for using the infrastructure, much like paying for electricity or cooking gas that we use in our homes. For example, a client sourcing mortgage services typically pays us only for the number of loans funded, which is the desired result.

Although the iTOPS concept is the same across all solutions, its implementation varies across solutions. The iTOPS framework for a process consists of best-in-class people, process and technology.

This unique combination of iTOPS framework and Pay-for-Results-Only pricing model delivers significant benefits to our customers:

Reduces risk from demand variation All enterprises carry a certain degree of risk inherent in the business due to demand variation. This variability can lead to too much or too little capacity to match demand. While excess capacity leads to higher costs, a lack of capacity can result in a loss of business. The iTOPS solutions can be ramped up or down in tune with the market demand. The flexibility means that while our clients do not lose an order due to lack of capacity, they do not overspend for excess capacity.

Reduces technology risk In a typical outsourcing arrangement, the client carries significant risks associated with the investment in selecting, implementing and managing the right technology. The iTOPS based solutions insulates the clients from this risk. We have made substantial investments to ensure best-in-class technology and processes for our clients.

Delivers predictable results and cost with Pay-for-Results-Only model Our customers pay us only when we deliver results or business outcomes. This ensures that our incentives are aligned with our customers incentives.

Delivers a truly variable cost structure to better manage clients' business Every business manager worries about how much capacity and what skills are needed to

meet the market demand. This includes number of employees, technology resources and infrastructure. This capacity, while meeting the demand, also results in a fixed cost for the company.

For example, a mortgage company may plan to fund 100 new loans in a month. However, it may end up funding fewer loans depending upon the actual demand. In a typical in-house or outsourced model, the company will have to incur a fixed cost for 100 loans, even if the actual number of loans funded is lower than planned. With iTOPS, the customer pays only for the actual number of loans funded, not a fixed carrying cost needed for 100 loans thus delivering a truly variable cost structure for our customers.

Eliminates management overhead and headaches in managing the outsourced relationship. Our clients do not have to spend time and energy to ensure that they get value for money, since they no longer need to worry about the effort and resources required to run the process. That responsibility is now shifted to Softorix with the customer executives only tracking the business outcomes they want from the process.

With our outcome-based pricing approach enabled by iTOPS solutions, we deliver truly transformational solutions with significantly higher value to our customers.

Enterprise Integration To keep up with the fast pace of business and escalating customer demands, organizations must have the agility to respond quickly to change. However, doing so requires an enterprise architecture that allows information to flow seamlessly between departments and across geographies. That's easier said than done in most companies, where information "silos" caused by legacy applications and a diverse IT architecture prevent smooth information flow. Softorix's Enterprise Integration practice provides a structured information processing and delivery framework that has helped leading global organizations break down information barriers across the enterprise. Our comprehensive suite of Enterprise Integration services delivers an end-to-end solution that addresses the four critical elements of business operations: business, people, process and IT. Our Enterprise Application Integration solutions are designed to deliver measurable results and rapid ROI, and strike the right balance between business and IT needs. Using an end-toend, Modeled-to-MeasureTM approach that customizes our Enterprise Integration solutions, we have helped many companies build integrated business practices that span organizations, people, systems and applications. The Modeled-to-Measure methodology makes it easy to propagate standard business procedures and information across an organization's value chain, to better leverage the value of Enterprise Integration investments. Softorix offers Enterprise Integration services in three areas:

Enterprise application integration (intra-enterprise) B2B and B2C integration Legacy integration.

Enterprise application integration projects can be extremely challenging. We have established an impressive track record of delivering proven integration and e-business services.

strengthening our integration expertise. All together, we put our exceptional expertise, alliances and methodologies to work for clients, delivering comprehensive enterprise integration solutions tailored to meet business-specific goals. BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT Overview In the new era of business transformation, an increasing number of enterprises are looking at re-orienting themselves into a process-centric customer-focused organization. This paradigm shift has led to the evolution of Business Process Management (BPM) as a principal management discipline to enable strategic planning of business goals, driving process improvements and innovative application of technology for greater agility. However, BPM systems are no silver bullet; also, it is not just about the process. The core BPM philosophy dwells on the synergistic balance between people, processes and technology to drive improvements, maximize value and enhance business performance through cost reduction, increase in productivity, and better adherence to regulatory & compliance norms. It is slowly becoming transformative and universal in its appeal. Softorix, through its dedicated BPM Center of Excellence (CoE), brings together the right mix of functional expertise, best practices, frameworks, methodologies, and product expertise to provide end-to-end BPM services and solutions to its customers. Softorix has pioneered in partnering with its customers to develop a well-defined BPM strategy & roadmap that is in alignment with core business objectives. We understand that delivering superior results requires excellent knowledge of cutting edge technologies, processes and functions all the time. Our BPM CoE operates on a unique model, to continuously research areas relevant to the BPM practice. Our methodologies are based on a sound understanding of an organizations Business Process Management needs, maturity and their readiness for BPM adoption. We have collaborative teams to bring in a good mix of domain, process and technical knowledge and ensure seamless implementations. Our thought leadership and consulting capabilities ensure innovative approaches to drive BPM adoption in myriad organizational landscapes.

Our deep technology capabilities are well complemented by our partnerships and alliances with some of the leading product vendors in the BPM space: SAVVION, ORACLE, BEA, IBM and Global 360 to name a few. This enables us to leverage the effective use of technology to build holistic BPM services and solutions for our customers.

USER EXPERIENCE MANAGEMENT Overview Softorixs User Experience (UX) CoEs mission is to enhance user experience by partnering with clients and users. We are therefore equipped with the skills to achieve the highest standards of User Experience Management (UXM) with optimal usable solutions. We ensure that no hurdles come in the way of users while achieving specific goals; we understand the art of getting un-noticed! Users have nothing to do with which technology is being used nor do they wish to understand what the designers intended. They simply wish to complete the task without really thinking too much. We enable exactly that fluency in an effective and efficient way. We have well-defined methodologies and a structured approach which excels in usage centered techniques. We base User Centered Design (UCD) on a usage centered approach and not just a user centered approach. We value the users feedback but prioritize usage patterns to design. We value both the business goals as also the users comfort.

We have built in some key differentiators in our usage centered approach:

We care for, both, the business objectives and usage pattern We adopt scientific methods and a structured approach We carry out competition comparative analysis We customize our strategy to meet business goals.

We understand that every problem is unique and deserves a tailor-made approach. We do not enforce every client's challenges into the same rigid process. We find and bridge the gap between application flow and what users expected. And eventually when we are done, applications are much more intuitive and easy-to-use.
