CHICAGO, April 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --
The emergence of a worldwide "network of digital hubs" is changing the way global corporations source their rapidly growing digital-services needs. These nodes of highly skilled digital practitioners are increasingly serving as "one-stop shops"—and proximity to them is becoming a crucial factor for companies seeking to keep up with ever-accelerating change, according to a report issued today by global consulting firm Kearney.
Kearney's Global Services Location Index (GSLI), issued every two years, helps companies make key location decisions about where to locate offshore operations, and the Index sheds light on their complex and shifting choices through an analysis of more than 50 countries. The index is based on 47 metrics across four main categories: financial attractiveness, people skills and availability, business environment, and digital resonance.
