• Gemensamt språk
• Gemensamma arbetsmetoder
• Fördefinierad dokumentation och mallar

Accenture is meeting a changed IT market with a global network ofdelivery centers; 71.000 employees, including 1,500 Nordic and Baltic staff.
How does Accenture go off-shore?
27Copyright © 2007 Accenture All Rights Reserved.
Offshoring is a success factor for Accenture in Sweden and continues to increase
• Approx 1000 employed in India per month
• Approximately 250-300 Indians in Swedish projects
• All larger IT project have offshore components today
• Increased turnover with 50% with good profitability
• “Sanity factor” rather than competitive advantage when competing in today’s market
• Few of our competitors can compete with our organic growth at the off-shore locations, utilizing the same methodology for delivery across the globe

Two different approaches adopted by the Onshore Delivery Leadership heavily influenced their respective offshore “experiences”.
Project A Project B
29Copyright © 2007 Accenture All Rights Reserved.
Project A -Comments on working with the DC
Mobilisation
"….my first impression is very positive. We have created a good starting point for the project – all is left is to deliver". [Onshore Development Team Lead]
Post Implementation
"the work with the IDC was very good and we were able to expand the scope from core ABAP development into functional testing, conversion and BW as well. [Onshore Development Team Lead]
"the project can be seen as a triumph and has in a way broken new ground in delivering a truly collaborative solution with our Offshore colleagues. With this in mind a special mention should go to our dedicated team at the India Delivery Centre, who delivered not only 2/3 of all development but also provided much needed on-site functional expertise in SAP Plant Maintenance, Materials Management, Project systems and BW. [Overall Delivery Lead]
30Copyright © 2007 Accenture All Rights Reserved.
Project B -Not so good.
• Many Delivery & Quality problems
• Frustration & excessive unplanned overtime, both onshore and offshore
• Witch hunts & finger pointing
• Time consuming escalation and intervention from DC and OG management
• Cost overruns
• Delivered, but with much pain
• Soured experience for all concerned, including the client.

“The three key lessons learnt are communication, communication and communication…”
…and additional lessons learnt includes:
•Follow and respect the established methodology and working process
•Clearly define handover points, entry/exit criteria, deliverables
•Plan technical connectivity early in the process
•Plan well ahead, involving the off-shore team as early as possible
•One Team, not “us and them”
•For larger, more complex engagements, embed onshore solution skills and management strength into the offshore location
35Copyright © 2007 Accenture All Rights Reserved.
Off-shoring impacts
Offshoring will affect roles but not replace them• Technical skills locally will be vital in the future as well• Lead roles will need to be positioned locally
Offshoring is positive for business and personal development• We have far greater possibilities to match resources with specific
competence and experience to open roles in projects• Having experts of the specific area within a team gives opportunities
to learn and minimizes project risk
