Outsourcing \u2013 the word that businesses love and customers hate. Outsourcing is the hidden reality for many industries today, but the last thing a customer wants to hear is that their call is important to you, and by the way, we\u2019ve outsourced our call centre to Indonesia.<\/p>\n
So while businesses need to keep costs down, clients expect to be dealing with native English speakers who understand the issues they need resolved.<\/p>\n
What to do in this situation? We\u2019d like to introduce our solution to this problem for Australian corporations.<\/p>\n
Outsource to New Zealand.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Cue the sheep-shagger and \u201cpoor little neighbour\u201d jokes.<\/p>\n But think about it. Cheaper than Australian going rates. Only 3 hours away from Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne if you need to conduct business in person. English-speaking. And in the IT and tech industry, this outsource system works especially well. Below, we\u2019ve outlined 5 brilliant reasons to outsource your work to New Zealand.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Ok, make that near enough the same timezone. In fact, the time difference can often work in your favour. When you straggle into the office at 9am, clutching your morning coffee, we\u2019ve been working for 2 hours and made it onto our third caffeinated beverage already. That mean you\u2019ll get work completed earlier in the day with plenty of time to check back with your clients \u2013 and then pass on feedback to your NZ team ready for the next day.<\/p>\n \u2026same language, same culture (come on \u2013 you know the entire Northern Hemisphere can\u2019t even tell us apart).<\/strong><\/p>\n Shrimp on the barbie aside, Aussies and Kiwis don\u2019t have the cultural or linguistic issues that can sometimes make collaborating on a project so frustrating. We\u2019ll get what you\u2019re talking about, first time around. It\u2019s outsourcing but more like having an extension of your team working outside the office.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Zealand tech companies are working at the same level as Australia (ie, we\u2019re not the budget overseas service that gives outsourcing its bad name). Just because we\u2019re at the arse-end of the world, doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not keeping up with the latest technology in our given industry. As a tech company, our job is to keep up to date with what\u2019s going on in the digital world, and develop accordingly. New Zealand has many start-ups and young, growing companies \u2013 that\u2019s one of the benefits of being a relatively young society. A small and agile team who know what they\u2019re doing can often be a boon to a larger corporation which needs deadlines met urgently.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not only is NZ a hub for growing, tech-savvy businesses, we\u2019ve also premiered bright young companies with world-changing ideas in the past few years. Xero accounting software, and Vend POS software immediately spring to mind. We\u2019ve proved that NZ brains are at the forefront of industry progress \u2013 so if you\u2019re looking for expert help, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At the end of the day, when all\u2019s said and done \u2013 it\u2019s not that hard to meet up in person, if you really rely on good ole\u2019 fashioned face-time to do business. As a tech company, we often rely on phone, email, Skype calls, and Team Viewer when we are working remotely. While it\u2019s true that tech workers DO prefer to work hidden away from other human beings and direct sunlight, we also have some regulars on the team who would be more than happy to hop across the ditch to help speed along a project.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We left this point \u2018till last because it\u2019s not, in itself, a good enough reason to outsource. But when you\u2019re looking to get the same services, at the same level of quality, without over-complicating the process\u2026 then it\u2019s a great<\/em> reason. Without selling ourselves short, the truth is that the same expert-level services cost less to hire in New Zealand compared to Australia. That\u2019s a fact. And it\u2019s just because companies in NZ tend to be a) smaller b) younger c) operating in a smaller market\/economy. So take advantage while this great opportunity exists.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n New Zealand and Australia often do business together (including our company). We\u2019ve already completed work for several Australian companies and agencies. The longer you wait, the more you miss out on all the advantages of outsourcing to NZ.<\/p>\n So dip a toe in the Tasman \u2013 check out how much your next digital project would cost if you outsourced to an expert NZ tech company. You might be pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Outsourcing \u2013 the word that businesses love and customers hate.
