Outsourcing allows organizations to focus more on their core businesses which in return can generate revenue. Outsourcing obviously shifts the focus to operations while keeping the non-operation functions at check.

A good reason for organizations to outsource their functions is to free their resources both personnel and budget wise of extra burden and hassle. Functions like IT support, data centres, sales, lead generation, customer care support, finance and accountancy, collections, research and so on are more likely to be outsourced. These functions although not in line with the core businesses do keep customers coming and act as an interface between many aspects of a business like customer-business relation, employee-employer relation and so on.



A great benefit of IT space outsourcing which comes with an IT infrastructure setup is the savings. India is famous for its favourable outsourcing grounds and is home to many outsourcing companies like IBM, Convergys, Genpact et al.

There are several IT space providers in Gurgaon that come with IT infrastructure facility. Such office space providers benefit organizations by facilitating not only a platform of fully furnished offices but also cushion it out with option of IT infrastructure services.

For an organization wanting to outsource its functions, the first and foremost requirement is to identify a favourable IT space to start their offshore operations from it. A plug and play officefurnished with work stations, LAN/WAN support, telecommunication equipment, and management cabins is the best combination. Sometimes these IT space service providers also provide facility management services while supporting the recruitment, sales and accounts of the outsourced company. This way the focus is on the work not building and investing on infrastructure.



An IT space which comes with option of IT Infrastructureprovision is like icing on the cake. Data centres with servers, network colocation and telecommunication equipment is a major requirement of several organizations. A huge cost is involved in building a data centre which is redundant and then managing and updating it. A favourable environmental condition has to be maintained in the data centre room. Also, the technology requires frequent and continuous update and maintenance. A team of 24x7 technical staff is a must to support the server technology as well as desktop and network engineering.

Lead generation is an important aspect of marketing and forms the core of successful business development. A traditional Lead is someone who has expressed interest in your company or product or service. In the internet world a lead is defined as someone who completes an online form supplying personal and business information in return for the services of the company.


In marketing world, lead generation becomes highly important because it generates consumer curiosity or interest for the product and services of a business. Lead generation traditionally is done by sales representatives, list building, e-newsletter list acquisition and in the more internet savvy world through online forms, surveys and through organic marketing. A quality lead is determined by the customer inclination towards the product or service. When the lead confirms the sale, it completes the full circle.
There are two types of lead generation, inbound and outbound.

Inbound Marketing/Lead Generation

Inbound Lead Generation takes place when you put in-house measures and tactics in place to make your business visible to the world or prospective world even before they come looking for it. There are multiple ways to gather and acquire substantial client list. The top and foremost inbound lead generation happens by means of company’s official website. The whole process starts with Content and SEO marketing, where inorganic marketing via good content directs online traffic either to the company website or the product or services of the company. The official website is where a substantial lead can convert into a probable sale or probable customer depending upon the type of service your company provides. Apart from this, social media platforms like facebook and twitter can also be utilized for enhancing the social presence of your business. These are few in-house ways that can be put into place to generate a lead. This service can be easily outsourced by companies or businesses. Large or small, sometimes businesses do not have enough manpower or expertise to handle marketing, business developmentor lead generation vertical. That does not mean that it is not important and should be ignored. These companies outsource this vertical to offshore companies.


Outbound Marketing/Lead Generation

While inbound marketing is mostly organic and requires very little monetary investment, the outbound lead generation can be a problem for companies to handle on its own. This form of lead generation is inorganic and often includes spending money to generate leads. Business development executive of a company is a good example. If the organic marketing of your company is right you can cut the middleman out; however, you need a face and a voice for your organization and that is where BDEs come into existence.


Sales representatives, marketing executives and BDEs are the face of their organization and they help not only bring in a lead but also convert them into a substantial sale. Use of internet is again beneficial in getting a lead, but again this time you will have to pay for it. Online paid marketing, Pay Per Click Ads, organizing events, display ads, direct mails and many more form the realms of outbound marketing. Again not all organizations have the capacity to handle this aspect of lead generation; they often lack the qualification and ability to handle it. It is advisable for companies to outsource this vertical and the lead generation would be easily taken care of.
