Ann Arbor is a city in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is the sixth largest city in Michigan. Systems In Motion is a nearshore outsourcing company in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The CEO and co-founder of Systems In Motion, Neeraj Gupta has been a member of the executive team at Patni, is a provider of information technology services and business outsourcing solutions and it is a $700 million Indian Information Technology services company. He was also the founder and CEO of Cymbal, a services company which is a provider on the field of telecommunication sector. He is an investor and board member of various technologies which is starting up to make their own names.
The outsourcing company came from all three founders who have had experience working in global services. They just came together and saw how the landscape was changing. They were working in Silicon Valley before they have noticed a lot of innovation coming out of that industry and how enterprise services were coming together in that domain. They just felt the industry was ready to concur the changes that are possible to occur because of their experiences in working in a global services. They had done contributed enough work in the outsourcing industry before they felt the challenges that the industry would face were really important. They were driven by cost and expansion in India.
Companies there were not innovating. That is the reason why they all decided to leave our corporate jobs. They knew each other from the global outsourcing industry where they met for so many times. The concept about outsourcing came together very quickly. They agree on that concept. According to him that they had wrote in a white paper about their plans regarding the lower-cost domestic sourcing. Their issue was that the model would not work unless they have put a fair amount of innovation into the concept, regardless of the economics of the model that they were concern about so they decided to change the model from a resource-based model to one that was output based.
While there has been a lot of discussion in the industry about how to move to an output-based model, no scalable model had come about. Their model married the scale and operating fabric of the Indian model together with the innovation of Silicon Valley. That is the experiment that they started with Systems In Motion. They choose Ann Arbor because of its location. It is about 20 minutes from the Detroit airport, but it has the distinction of the University of Michigan.
The education and health-care in Ann Arbor plays an important role in that industry. It is a significant advantage. Their goal is to hire from the local workforce. People are graduating from master’s or bachelor’s programs from local universities are welcome in their company. They also do some lateral hires in and out of the country and they have brought the people from other parts of the country with specialized skill sets.
According to the reports, workforce in today’s IT industry faces a large amount of globalization. There is a lot of factors in determining what exactly should be handled by internal IT and what should be outsourced. But most IT workers who are not working for a core R&D effort are basically leading a peripatetic lifestyle, especially in junior and mid-level staff. Their delivery model allows them to work for different accounts, but they have a career growth plan from a single location. Outsourcing is really a great help in most of the industry. It can lessen the company’s work.
