Offshore outsourcing is an asymmetric tactic that delivers a competitive advantage. advantage. As global enterprises increasingly seek to achieve competitiveness on the cheap, global outsourcing is becoming more widespread. Managing an arrangement of global participants and functional tasks into an innovation-drive, value hierarchy is a maxima-minima problem of pushing the highest skill work to the lowest cost of acceptable performance (figure 1). As global enterprises increasingly seek to achieve cost competitiveness, global outsourcing is becoming more widespread. But due diligence is needed if success is to be achieved.
The objective is to minimize the risks and maintain the benefits of an economic globally based enterprise that deals with software producers in off\shore nations that would otherwise be discouraged by adverse risks associated with such global enterprises. It is especially necessary to exercise due diligence in anticipating and avoiding the risks and threats that could occur through the use of the Global Supply Chain.
For the organization considering offshore outsourcing, the Trusted Pipe™ enables the organization to structure a predictable, reliable, and safe solution. The Trusted Pipe™ architecture is a preferred approach to offshore outsourcing that will enable management and engineering personnel (“intelligent middlemen”) located in offshore areas to engage in dependable communication necessary for a harmonious relationship (figure 2).
1. The Trusted Pipe™ features an in-country control point connected by high speed, secure line to an out-country control point with capabilities and protocols organized into seven layers (figure 3). These intelligent layers comprise hard and soft skills spanning ethical dimensions, cultural acknowledgment and mediation, intellectual property safeguards, security and privacy safeguards, management and engineering practice, domain knowledge, and technology infrastructure.
2. Primarily, the Trusted Pipe™ manages a network of global enterprises (GE) seeking to outsource software development and operations offshore to offshore vendors (OV). There are two major types of control points (CP), a Global Enterprise Control Point (GECP) that operates in the U.S. and manages the network of global enterprises seeking to outsource software development and operations offshore and an Offshore Vendor Control Point (OVCP) that operates in the target country and manages the network of outsource vendors.
3. The control point nodes (GECP, OVCP) of the Trusted Pipe™ are populated with Intelligent Middlemen who compose, interpret, and exchange essential multi-dimensional messages associated with ethical, cultural, legal, business, management, process, engineering, and technology packets in order to facilitate and ensure a smooth operation.
