What are the advantages to outsourcing to India?

  • Large Educated Population: India is home to the largest educated English-speaking population in the world. Entrance into reputed Colleges and Universities in India are even more competitive than the best in the U.S.
  • Low Turnover:Customer care centers in the United States experience very high turnover, usually 40% to 70% per year. Considering the time and costs associated with training new agents, it becomes difficult to maintain quality service at a low cost. Since Indian call centers have only an average 5% of turnover.
  • Low Costs: Compared to American call centers, outsourcing with i2c would save you at least 50% in operational expenses.
  • Complimentary Time Zone: The time zone difference between the U.S. and India is about 12 hours. This means that a job submitted in the evening at 6 p.m. PST, reaches India at 6 a.m. and is completed by 6am PST the following morning - saving you an entire work day!
