Background and Context

With increasing maturity of the Global In-house Center (GIC) model, GICs are working with service providers to deliver services (defined as hybrid sourcing in this report). Some GICs manage service providers on behalf of their parent organization. Additionally, mature GICs are involved in shaping the parent’s sourcing strategy and managing the sourcing program. In order to explore this further, a survey was conducted by Everest Group in collaboration with SSON and Nasscom. The focus of the survey was to understand key adoption trends of hybrid sourcing and provide a snapshot of current market practices. All results from survey participants were analyzed to assess the adoption trends of hybrid sourcing in offshore GICs as presented in this report.

This research leverages Everest Group’s proprietary databases, market intelligence, inputs from market participants, and survey results. The survey was focused primarily on offshore GICs engaged in hybrid sourcing and captured the key dimensions such as organization profile, hybrid sourcing strategy and objective, scope and approach to hybrid sourcing, and service provider relationships.

This report is relevant to a broad set of stakeholders – buyers / parent organizations, service providers, GICs, and industry influencers (investors, industry bodies, etc.)
