	February 27, 2009 Complementing India With Nearshore Strategies: Spotlight On Spain How European Firms Drive Nearshore Value With Spanish Resources by Euan Davis with Andrew Parker, Antonin Shanahan	Average: 9  (4 ratings)

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Sourcing executives rarely hear about Spain as a nearshore destination, but Spain attracts vendors and buyers alike with its large, well-qualified IT labor pool, world-class vertically focused services resources, competitive IT services rates, and potential scale through linkage to Latin America. These are assets that Europe's more established nearshore destinations can't match. Spanish IT service delivery offers two routes to value depending on your sourcing maturity and industry focus: 1) first-time buyers, considering alternatives to India because of issues like recent bad press and incidents of terrorism, expect better collaboration and smoother working relationships from Spanish providers; and 2) enterprises already buying globally delivered services access the local factory models and domain expertise on offer in Spain to complement existing service delivery with complex technical design, IT transformation, or process execution skills.
