Mr. Trowbridge, who recently visited India for discussions on outsourcing, added that, "This is a select group of countries to be considered in choosing a location for your outsourced activities, either to a service provider or through establishment of your own captive support center. Selection of offshore locations requires evaluation of an extraordinary number of risk factors. This report addresses some of the nonfinancial factors at a very high level." Options on where to locate are evolving. "India was clearly the cheapest location with the best risk-adjusted cost of getting work done," Mr. Trowbridge said. "And India remains the largest lowest-cost choice. But there are other options. Corporate decision-makers must ask, 'How do other locations compare to the India option?'" He said evaluation of locations is different than a standard decision model and "requires that each client, location and provider be evaluated to ensure that the risk is appropriate for your business. Each decision should be based on a total evaluation unique to your specific business and risk profile."
