PMC Offshore Solutions - the right offshore service for retail

There is nothing inherently new in offshore solutions. They have existed for some time. However, many offshore solutions are inappropriate for retailers. There are multiple issues and potential problems facing retailers making an 'offshore decision'. PMC-I offers approaches and solutions designed to deliver success.
 

PMC Offshore Solutions Part 1 - "Ensuring a Retail Focus"

Paul Mason, CEO of PMC explains. “Today, retailing is tougher than ever before. Tempting though it may be to sit back and see what happens, retailers cannot simply batten down the hatches, change nothing, improve nothing, and invest in nothing. Looking offshore is an option. Looking at the right offshore solution is vital.”
 
“Retailers must drive cost efficiencies. They must strive for better value in every service they buy or contract they secure. Retailers that want to make step changes in their IT cost base must think laterally. And that includes offshore solutions - to support an existing solution or develop a new one. The important point is to ensure an offshore solution has a retail focus.”
 
The key to success is laid out in a PMC video that covers the following key points to help retailers understand off shoring, recognise the problems and identify the solutions:
 
  • Ensuring a retail focus
  • Getting the 'A' team on your side
  • Effective offshore management
  • Culture not conflict
  • Beyond the sales pitch
  • Mutual understanding.

Testing should not be seen as policing. It’s a positive addition to the process, the problem is that neither vendors nor retailers have the bandwidth or skill set to test systems adequately or emulate the retailer’s live environments.
