Direct To India offer forward-looking IT outsourcing business models to our clients that go over and beyond tactical outsourcing. These models offer the opportunity to accelerate outsourcing higher along the collaborative value chain. We have evolved business models to suit an intermediated business model, with a clear value proposition for an onsite business partner and an offshore team. The objective of any business model would be to provide a virtual team to the system integrator while adjusting the level of commitment, level of control, investment required (both time and money) and the cost savings generated through offshore economics to optimum levels for the situation at hand.
