Some of our clients need to partially or
completely own their nearshore operation.
The setup process starts with a call or video conference, we are so interested to know you! We tell you who we are, what we do, we share with you our experience.
Our streamlined process leads you from initial contact to hiring your own virtual staff in Mexico.
Once your offshore operation is well-defined, we can work out a service delivery and pricing model and present this to you in a detailed proposal.
At this stage, we will formalize the services agreement which will contain all the details of your nearshore operations and our service delivery.
The talent requirements identified in Step 2 are translated into a staffing plan which gives all the details on the different job profiles, headcounts, and go-live dates for each position. Our Talent Acquisition department will use this staffing plan to source candidates and run through the agreed screening process. In the end, it is up to you to decide how involved you will be with screening and selection.
Our IT department will work with our facilities and acquisition team in getting all the IT and infrastructure assets in place. Typically, our IT department will work with our client’s IT department to establish the characteristics of the equipment to use and will work on the leasing of it through our providers.
With all the infrastructure resources, talent resources, and management framework in place, your nearshore operation can now go live and start operations. The go-live is typically celebrated with your management and stakeholders present on location in Mexico.
After go-live, your offshore operation will roll into normal daily operations. The management framework will kick into action and assure that your nearshore operation is performing well.
To set up a captive (wholly-owned local subsidiary) requires a lot of investments in terms of due diligence, infrastructure, and consultancy fees. By leveraging the knowledge and resources of an existing partner, you can enter a market very rapidly.
To set up a captive center in an unknown geography can be very risky. How much do you really know about Mexico and its legal and regulatory systems? By operating under the umbrella of a local partner, you can learn more about the new region before deciding to operate there independently.
To set up a captive center takes a long time (6-9 months on average). A local provider like ScreenIT already has the infrastructure, management, overhead, and processes in place to be up and running in a matter of weeks.
For many companies, virtual captives can provide the right balance between risk and control. The client would retain full control over the entire operation including its people, infrastructure, and processes.
However, much of the operational risk will be shared with a third party provider. If you will weigh risk vs control vs costs then, the virtual captive model strikes the perfect balance.
