| Outsourcing is a commonly maligned term.
The populist view of outsourcing is driven by media pieces about the shift of call centres to India.
The overriding impression conveyed by such stories is that new technology is enabling the transfer of jobs to a lower
cost economy in the pursuit of increased corporate profitability.
The prospect of redundancy and long term unemployment does not play well in the UK’s current economic climate: record
levels of personal debt, the burgeoning cost of living and property price inflation.
Therefore it is little wonder that the word outsourcing has negative connotations within the UK workforce.
Outsourcing with Eclipse is not about transferring UK jobs to lower paid workers elsewhere.
We do not remove IT as an internal function. We provide a platform for our clients to prosper by providing efficiencies through
technology solutions and economies of scale.
Any resultant over capacity within internal support teams is utilised by us to extend our support capability to all our clients.
The benefit from such an arrangement is that staff cross and up train in to different technologies. An increased skill set ultimately
makes them more valuable, both as assets to their employers and in their potential for personal prosperity.
