(InfoWorld) - Indiaâs largest outsourcer Tata Consultancy ServicesÂ (TCS) has set up a global delivery center in Guadalajara, Mexico, with plans to hire up to 5,000 staff there over the next five years. Having a center in Mexico helps TCS, of Mumbai, as it will be closer to U.S. customers and on a similar time zone, said Pradipta Bagchi, a spokesman for TCS said on Thursday. The South American market also provides a significant opportunity for TCS because of a large number of regional companies investing in information technology and related services, Bagchi said. TCS currently has about 5,000 employees in South America, which service over 150 clients there. It operates global delivery centers in Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay, besides a business process outsourcing (BPO) services center in Chile. Indian outsourcing companies are grappling with the appreciation of the Indian rupee against the U.S. dollar, andÂ rising labor costs. Indiaâs National Association of Software and Service Companies (NASSCOM) has said that the 8 to 9 percent appreciation of the rupee over the last three months is worrisome. The U.S. is the largest market for Indian outsourcers. TCSâ expansion in Mexico led to speculation that the company may be looking for alternative locations to India. Staff in India is still cheaper than in Mexico, and the company has no plans to scale down its operations in India, Bagchi said. A number of Indian companies have set up operations in South America and Eastern Europe to offer a near-shore option to their customers in the U.S. and Europe. Indian companies are also expanding in other countries to look for new talent pools, as it gets tougher to hire staff in large numbers in India. Satyam Computer Services, an outsourcer in Hyderabad, said last year it wasÂ expanding in China, Malaysia, and other locations to tap regional markets and supplement its Indian operations. TCS and Indiaâs second largest outsourcer, Infosys Technologies, have alsoÂ set up operations in China. China has, however, fallen short of expectations as an offshore location, according to Forrester Research. Two years ago, China was viewed as a key challenger to India because of its large number of engineering graduates and the support of the Chinese government to establish it as a key offshore location, Forrester said. But after an initial burst of momentum, there has been relatively little evidence of the countryâs success, the research firm added. TCSâs new center at Mexico will primarily offer software development, Bagchi said. The center will serve clients in Mexico and in the U.S., he added.

Indian outsourcers already have a large share of outsourced application development and maintenance and are dominant in business process outsourcing. The country is now targeting a larger share of the market for remote infrastructure management services (IMS), and is planning to more than double revenue from these services to $15 billion by 2013.IMS involves managing an enterprise&#8217;s core IT systems, including hardware, software, connectivity and people. The IMS industry is moving towards a remote delivery model where services are increasing delivered from low-cost locations by service providers and wholly-owned services subsidiaries of user companies, according to a report released Thursday by India&#8217;s National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom).Customers in the US and Europe are increasingly willing to outsource IMS to offshore locations, because the data does not move out of the home countries, and is only managed remotely, said Siddharth Pai, a partner at sourcing consultancy firm,Technology Partners International (TPI) in Houston, Texas.In India, IMS business is going both to Indian outsourcers, and the Indian operations of large IT services companies, Pai said. Because of the large staff component involved in IMS, there are cost benefits in outsourcing IMS to low-cost, offshore locations like India, he added.Research done by management consultancy firm McKinsey for Nasscom, suggests that the IMS business could generate between 325,000 to 375,000 jobs in India by 2013, as 70 to 75 percent of the roles in IMS can be moved offshore.Low-cost locations, including India, have so far captured a mere $6 to 7 billion&#160;of the IMS opportunity.Indian outsourcers have so far learned to price their services on the basis of staff time utilized. They now have to learn more sophisticated pricing that takes into account other parameters like amount of computing power being managed, if they are not to risk losing money in the business, Pai said.
