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.
