As global in-house centers (GICs) gain traction worldwide, enterprises are seeking insights into how to effectively leverage providers to grow their GICs. This pursuit has gained greater significance in today’s turbulent economic climate, where enterprises grapple with substantial talent and cost pressures. In their endeavor to cultivate or expand their in-house delivery capabilities, enterprises are increasingly open to receiving assistance from providers. Within this context, enterprises can seek provider support in three primary areas: establishing GICs (largely through assisted, joint venture, and build-operate-transfer models), carving out GICs, and transforming GICs.

However, as enterprises assess the market to identify a suitable partner to support them in this endeavor, they are confronted with multiple options, ranging from major global providers to more specialized local counterparts. The abundance of options can cause confusion among enterprises, for whom this is a very strategic and critical decision.
