Study participants answered questions about their organization’s most significant offshoring relationship in which they are significantly involved. The research includes both customer and provider quantitative and qualitative data gathered from more than 400 companies from all regions of the world.

Key findings include:

“Many customers and providers recognize that cultural differences impact the value they achieve in their offshoring deals,” says Robert Williams, Chairman of Insigma HengTian Software Ltd. “However, companies struggle to manage those differences. This study points to the potential for organizations to capture substantial increased value from their offshoring relationships — if they invest in understanding and enabling more systematic and collaborative approaches to managing cultural differences.”
