Offshore Outsourcing has become a dominant theme among the Outsourcing trends worldwide and India has become the leading destination for Offshoring. While Offshore Outsourcing can be adopted in its various manifestations, an Offshore Business Center (OBC) with its pool of specially trained resources, well designed infrastructure, proven and time tested processes is the most beneficial outsourcing delivery model with a compelling value proposition for businesses looking at rightsourcing.

OBC Setup Process
Small & Lean examines the following options as part of its process for setting up OBCs in India for its international clients.

· Build-Operate-Transfer (B-O-T)
· Establish company-owned center (Subsidiary)
· Ad hoc workstations
· Acquisitions and Mergers

Based on the needs of the organizations, and time horizon on which planning takes place, each of the four relationships can apply.

With B-O-T, Small & Lean will establish the team, infrastructure, and operations, and then transfer the entire set-up back to the client company who will own, operate and integrate into their corporate entity.

B-O-T means Small & Lean will provide all of the logistical planning needed to establish a global presence; including:
· Office Space / Facilities
· Corporate registration / Legal Creation
· Hiring and Training of resources
· Communications infrastructure
· Knowledge capture planning
· Coordination between geographies

The key difference between a Subsidiary and a B-O-T relationship is the future transfer of ownership of the operation.
