Houston is poised as one of the most competitive low-cost regions in the U.S. for outsourcing services. As an outsource provider for Fortune 100 companies and government organizations, Aesbus can certainly attest to that. In the past five years, we’ve participated in numerous reverse auction scenarios involving not only onshore vendors from other regions (west and east coasts) but also offshore and nearshore vendors.
The availability of technical skill sets across Houston’s highly diversified business and industry sectors (space, bio-medical, computer, oil & gas) coupled with a relatively low cost of living has been one of the leading factors that allow Aesbus to offer very competitive labor rates and respond quickly to our clients’ needs.
The advantages of Houston’s low-cost region are numerous and can offset offshoring’s unique costs and risks impacting management, communication, and coordination of the work. In many instances, offshore outsourcing relationships can be difficult to manage due to time zone differences, language barriers, distance, and cultural differences.
The New Low-Cost Outsourcing Location: USA? provides some interesting data on offshore outsourcing vs onshore outsourcing customer satisfaction and quality. Gartner recently released its listing of the top 30 countries for offshore services in 2008.
Aesbus will have an opportunity to showcase its onshore outsourcing services at the 25th National Space Symposium to be held in Colorado Springs on March 30 – April 2, 2009.
Aesbus will have an Exhibitor Booth at this premier industry event, which will be attended by key leaders from all sectors of the space community. Aesbus has a regional branch office in Colorado Springs, Colorado and in Austin, Texas.
