Stefanini has operations in 8 of the 10 best locations for nearshoring and offshoring

SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Feb. 10, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- According to the seventh edition of the A.T. Kearney Global Services Location Index, Stefanini – a $1B global provider of IT outsourcing, applications management & consulting, and strategic staffing services – has operations in 8 of the 10 best locations for nearshoring and offshoring in the world, a result that proves the fact that Stefanini has a strategic presence across the globe.

The A.T. Kearney Global Services Location Index tracks the contours of the offshoring landscape in 55 countries across three major categories: financial attractiveness, people skills and availability, and business environment.

Stefanini is present in 8 of top 10 best locations for outsourcing in the world: India, China, Malaysia, Brazil, Philippines, Mexico, Chile and Poland. Romania, a very important market for Stefanini, is 13th in this ranking.

According to this year's report, a new business model is threatening established concepts of offshoring: automation combined with business process as a service (BPaaS) – a formula that has the potential to be an even more powerful force for disruptive change than automation alone.

The advent of RPA (robotic process automation) and BPaaS mean policy makers will need to prepare for the end of the easy BPO work opportunities "era", when young people with basic skills were enough to make them employable to handle routine processes. What can we expect? As standardization and automation come to dominate the simpler processes, the companies will need skills of a more analytic nature.

Stefanini anticipated this new trend highlighted by the Index and developed an Innovation Strategy that meets the complexity of the market needs. Stefanini supports mid-size and large corporations through offshore, onshore and nearshore IT managed services, systems integration, consulting and strategic staffing. The company offers IT infrastructure outsourcing (IT helpdesk, desktop managed services, end-to-end mobility support ), application managed services, ERP/SAP consulting, and strategic IT staffing solutions.

Throughout our 28 years in business, Stefanini has developed proven methods to evaluate and ensure continuous process improvement. These include the company's annual client satisfaction survey, focus groups, rigorous post-launch reviews, data analysis, trend metrics, employee orientation and training.
