OPTIMIZE YOUR GLOBAL TALENT STRATEGY

Proven methods to build your GCC

01

Recruit-to-Fit

Unlike most outsourcing companies, we never pull from a bench or database of random skill sets. SMC recruits specifically to fit your technology requirements, experience, soft-skills, leadership potential, and cultural fit. There’s no question why our GCCs boast a 90%+ retention rate with recent builds achieving near 100% retention after the first year. 

03

Cost Optimization

With a continuous eye on costs while understanding India’s government, business, and vendor environment, SMC optimizes your spend over 3 years. SMC targets a true India cost at the end of our 3-year builds, which includes the cost of talent, office space, and operations. 

02

Technical Quality

From roots as technologists and leaders in Fortune 500 companies, our leadership team has been responsible for technical quality throughout their careers. At SMC, we lean in, advise, coach, and measure your technical and business capabilities to ensure productivity, results, and impactful business solutions.

04

Risk Mitigation

We consider the entire GCC opportunity and build a plan that optimizes each phase of growth. Through organized governance, clear KPIs, organized leadership, and guiding best practices, SMC acts as a fiduciary partner for the long-term growth, stability, and performance of your GCC.  

OUR SOLUTIONS

Proven methods deployed to build your GCC

Owned GCC

Define. Measure. Drive. It’s our mantra as we inject consistency across all global resources to ramp up your IT team. The result: engineering rigor that leverages multi-location and timezone efficiencies. No surprises. You set the standard and we’ll make it happen. The build-optimize-transfer (BOT) of your GCC is executed in 3 years with no upfront capital investment. We’re here to bring your Global Team to life.

GCC-as-a-Service

Addressing the diverse needs in the market, we created this flexible à la carte model, allowing you to choose the specific services you need. We’ve got your back steering through entity setup, talent acquisition, organizational change, and a variety of other challenges with the following services: strategy, talent, operations, leadership, workspace, and corporate.

Managed GCC

Crawl, walk, and run with the GCC concept. Experience demonstrated success using our proven recruit-to-fit dedicated model without the full commitment of an Owned GCC. Regardless of team size, “People First” is core to our DNA. It’s how we attract quality global talent with high retention. You’ll see how simple tactics drive quality, productivity, and bottom-line results.

CHOSEN AS A TRUSTED GCC PARTNER BY INDUSTRY LEADERS

“Operating as a lean start-up, this global center of excellence for digital technology enables us to overcome resource constraints, while also reducing reliance on external contractors.”

This leading sporting goods brand came to SMC with an existing Indian entity, seeking assistance building out its global technology organization as a GCC. Our goal was to expand and optimize their GCC, located in Hyderabad, over a quick two-year period. We actively recruited very specific skillsets needed to support company growth across a dozen brands. Recently, this GCC successfully transitioned 200 employees to TopGolf Callaway.

03

ELECTRONIC COMPONENT DISTRIBUTOR

This electronic distribution company came to SMC seeking a true partnership in building out a robust technology team with goals of increasing sales and enhancing global distribution capabilities. DigiKey's GCC was built upon their core values and company culture to emphasize that their India-based teams are a part of one global team. We have built and continue to grow their technology, services, support, and academic teams to provide cost-effective business value to DigiKey.
