Proservartner Point of View: Given the growth of the economy in India (GDP of 7.4% in
2009), there is an increasing trend of India companies (TCS, Infosys, Wipro, Genpact etc)
acquiring US and Western companies, and a decreasing trend of US and Western
companies acquiring India companies due to them being too expensive. The domestic BPO
market in India is reported to reach $6 billion by 2012 (as per E&Y research), and that prize
is attractive enough to obtain the attention of the globe – expect further companies to enter
partnership models with India based companies to deliver superior growth.

service over 20 countries of the region, such as Russia, Poland, Romania, Hungary,
Bulgaria, etc.
The Lviv center will become the third in the world internal business service center that within
the international subdivision of Nestle Business Service (NBS) will ensure execution of
certain financial operations, in particular, payroll accounting and payment. Lviv has been
chosen based on its location, the local transport infrastructure, potential of talented workers
and availability of real estate objects.
Proservartner Point of View: The Ukrainian centre is one of a series of investments Nestlé
has made in Eastern Europe in recent years, and the development of a shared service centre
in the region will certainly receive attention for those looking at Eastern Europe as a host for
a shared services centre.
It was stated by Nestle that Lviv has been chosen based on its location, the local transport
infrastructure, potential of talented workers and availability of real estate objects. However, it
is also important to add the cost advantages of the Ukraine against other Eastern European
cities, and the language capability that exists in the region. With the right level of government
support, Ukraine could fast compete with Poland, Czech, Slovakia, Romania and Hungary as
a BPO and Shared Services destination of choice in Eastern Europe!
Proservartner Point of View: The announcement comes within days of the US state of Ohio
imposing a ban on offshore outsourcing, and illustrates an increasingly growing discontent in

the US of jobs moving offshore. The discontent has been well documented, but under the
current administration there is more focus than ever before on keeping jobs in the US.
What does this mean for the world of shared services and outsourcing? Well, it is becoming
clear that protectionist policies will lead to an increasing amount of onshore outsourcing and
shared services rather than offshoring across global locations, and this is likely to span the
US and Western Europe. Providers are already adjusting to this trend by acquiring capability
onshore to compliment their existing offshore delivery centres, and this move will put
pressure on high levels of efficiency and automation that lead to elimination of activities
(rather than mere transfer of activity) to deliver cost and service improvement.
