Information technology enabled services (ITES) or BPO has enabled India, Philippines and other developing markets to grow and provide badly needed jobs in those markets. I used to consult in the outsourcing industry as a consultant for Cap Gemini. Entrepreneurs attempting to get into BPO need to be aware that it is extremely difficult to get and sometimes maintain a contract. Service line agreements (SLA's) are loaded with penalties and metrics that many Indian companies avoid bidding for the RFP.
Outsourcing is quite a mature industry now, four years ago when I was consulting margins were high. Four years later corporations are getting smarter by putting more metrics and clauses into contracts to protect themselves.
I urge anyone reading this post to go and learn more about outsourcing if they are trying to become a provider of ITES in Africa.
