Right Sourcing
Put the right skills in the right place, with the right operating model
Right Sourcing is about finding the most effective way to build and access the technology capabilities your business needs.
That means looking beyond a simple choice between hiring in-house or outsourcing. It considers which capabilities you should own, where external expertise can add value, where your teams should be located and which operating model best balances cost, quality, control and speed.
We help you make those decisions, then access and build the talent and capabilities needed to put them into practice.

Why Right Sourcing?
Technology teams have more ways to access skills than ever before. The challenge is choosing the right model for the requirement.
Right Sourcing takes a strategic approach to that decision. Instead of defaulting to an entirely in-house team or fully outsourcing to a third party, it assesses each requirement against factors such as:
- Skills and talent availability
- Cost and budget
- Speed and project timelines
- The level of control you need
- Geographic location
- Time zone compatibility
- Cultural alignment
- Long-term capability needs
The result can be a combination of in-house teams and externally sourced expertise, potentially spread across different locations.
Our role is to help you find that balance. With specialist technology talent networks and global market expertise, we can help you understand where the skills you need are available, how different sourcing options compare and how to build the right model around your business.
What should you keep in-house?
Right Sourcing starts with understanding which capabilities make sense for your organization to own.
Strategic, business-critical or long-term capabilities may benefit from sitting within your permanent team. Other requirements may be better supported through external expertise, particularly when you need specialist skills, additional capacity or access to talent that is difficult to secure locally.
- What to keep in-house
- What to source externally
- Where specialist talent is available
- Which capabilities you may want to bring in-house over time
This creates a workforce model based on what your business actually needs rather than a single approach to every technology requirement.
Where should your teams be located?
Once you know what capability you need, the next question is where to source it.
Cost matters, but it should not be considered in isolation. Talent availability, time zones, collaboration, language and cultural alignment can all affect whether a location works for your organization.
Our global talent expertise helps you evaluate those factors and identify the locations that best match your requirements.
Nearshoring
Farshoring / Offshoring
The right answer may also involve more than one location, depending on the skills, coverage and delivery model you need.
Build a capability you can own
Right Sourcing is not only about where you access external talent. It can also help you determine where and how to build long-term capability of your own.
For organizations looking to establish a dedicated technology operation in another market, a Global Capability Center (GCC) provides a way to access global talent while retaining ownership of the capability.
A GCC is a dedicated offshore or nearshore hub that is owned and operated by the parent company rather than a third-party vendor.
There are two approaches depending on how much of the setup and operation you want to manage yourself.
Fully-Owned Captive
Build-Operate-Transfer
A specialist partner establishes and manages the capability before transferring full ownership to your organization.
Our Build-Operate-Transfer model gives you a route to ownership without having to build everything from scratch.
We recruit, train and manage a dedicated technology team, establish the processes and governance around it and run the capability to proven delivery. When you are ready, the team, knowledge and capability transfer into your organization.
You get the speed and support of an externally managed model with a clear route to long-term ownership.
Build-Operate-Transfer
For organizations that want to build a capability they can ultimately own, Build-Operate-Transfer provides a route to combine external expertise and speed with long-term internal ownership.
Building an in-house tech capability from scratch is slow, risky and hard to staff. Build-Operate-Transfer gives you the speed of an outsourced team and the long-term value of an in-house one.
We carry the build and operating risk up front, managing a dedicated, certified team to proven delivery before ownership transfers to you. People, process and knowledge included.
Capability you end up owning, without the cost and lock-in of a traditional consultancy.
