The mission of LSI Outsourcing is to provide our clients with the benefits of overseas outsourcing with 35% lesser cost than the big IT firms, better quality than a SEI level 5 firm and retain your BEST IT talent in house.  

LSI provides Customer Satisfaction with Reduced Risk.  We reduce risk because we have five American founders each with extensive business, technology, and management experience. 

One of us always assumes personal responsibility for the oversight of a customer’s project from initial conception and requirements definition to managing the project to a successful implementation. We have learned though hard won experience that customer satisfaction is the key to business success.

We also reduce risk because we have extensive experience with overseas outsourcers and can choose the best one for our customer.  We currently have 9 different partner companies under contract – 3 Indian, one Chinese, one American-Indian, one Brasilian, one American, one Russian, one Tapatio, and one Canadian.   Together, we have 2800 engineers that cover virtually all IT technologies and all industry segments.  

We selected these companies based on their ability to perform.  Besides India, China, Russia, Mexico, Brasil, the U.S and Canada, we are constantly evaluating the potential for other Global outsourcers. This insures competition among our outsource suppliers so we can always insure high quality responsive service at a reasonable cost to our customers.

LSI provides Greater Benefits. The primary driver of overseas outsourcing is labor costs.  India, the primary offshore outsourcer has 500,000 trained IT professionals (and 70,000 more graduate each year). Their cost (for a comparative experience level) is about 20% of the US cost. (Canada's costs are approximately 65% of U.S. costs due to the exchange rate and access to Canadian R&D tax credits.)

Quality standards are often higher than in the US, and, Indian companies do leading edge design for Nokia, GE and other companies, as well as providing lower cost maintenance or call centers.  All technical schooling is done in English.

Even after taking into account the costs of oversight, travel, and infrastructure, the typical net savings (with, say, 15% of the staff onsite) is 50%.  The drivers that can increase cost include cultural differences, travel, and higher requirements for documentation, process control, change control, governance and metrics.  LSI and our partner companies are experienced in controlling all these potential added costs.

The benefits of this cost effective outsourcing are the ability for a customer to reduce overhead expenses of ongoing projects and to do new projects that provide a competitive advantage.
