In today’s sluggish economy, support services are often the first areas within the firm tasked with trimming expenses. Yet if your in-house design operation is anything like mine, cutting heads is not a practical solution if the same amount of work is expected to flow through your department, with the same quick turnarounds.
As the economy struggled across the better part of the last decade and developing nations proved able to take on business services in addition to production tasks, outsourcing and offshoring conversations and activities increased. Business leaders looking to take advantage of the cost savings have asked their business unit heads to identify opportunities to offshore activities within their departments. These asks have not excluded creative departments and multimedia design and development and graphic design have been specifically targeted.
