Bridging the Gap Between Business Needs and Technology Delivery

Rural Sourcing, also known as onshoring or domestic sourcing, involves sending work to service providers in rural locations where the cost of living and operating expenses are lower. It is a cost-competitive alternative for companies that want to avoid the negative aspects of offshoring to India and China.

QAT Global’s rural sourcing centers leverage best practices for remote service delivery to create large, highly integrated centers of expertise, customized and dedicated to specific client domains. The centers combine expert resources, service delivery best practices, mature infrastructure, and flexible engagement models that best fit the needs of your enterprise.

Rural outsourcing provides the same basic benefits as other outsourcing arrangements: ready access to technological expertise and resources that the client lacks internally. By locating in domestic rural locations, clients get the value of a local provider combined with the advantage of lower-cost labor outside large metropolitan areas. Cultural compatibility, similar time zones, and proximity to clients make rural outsourcing an attractive option.

In general, the value proposition of rural outsourcing is that clients pay lower prices for IT services than ITO services based in urban areas; and clients receive a better service experience than offshore outsourcing. Transaction costs are significantly lower compared to offshore outsourcing. Price-wise, rural outsourcing offers prices that are 20-40 percent less expensive per hour than urban rates in cities such as New York, Los Angeles, or Chicago.

We thoroughly examine each customer’s case. Depending on project requirements, we engage a dedicated team of business analysts to analyze and understand clients’ specific objectives and needs to find a solution that meets them.

We understand that effective communication is crucial for the success of any project. We establish a productive customer communication environment providing all required resources. All our employees who are engaged in communication with customers speak fluent English.
