Most Popular Questions

Outsourcing allows you to focus on your core business; it gives your company access to a higher level of expertise than you usually can afford. It means you get qualified experts, appropriately skilled for your business operations, along with the flexibility in retaining them for an extended period. Having the right outsourcing partner can also benefit you in the form of reduced overhead costs.

Cost-effectiveness - Salaries of professionals are significantly lower than those in North America and Europe. This wage differential translates into cost savings.

24/7 operation - Offshore outsourcing offices located in India are in the perfect time zone to help you operate 24/7.

Large pool of talent - Retaining experienced employees becomes difficult when they are given boring and repetitive work. Cogneesol offers you a cost-effective talent pool that you can tap on for reliable service delivery.

Best Practices - Focused heavily on quality and continuous process improvement, offshore outsourcing firms operate at high levels of efficiency, predictability, and reliability. High process maturity dramatically reduces risks and provides a significant advantage when managing service level agreements.

No, outsourcing enables more control over current business functions and allows you to concentrate on critical functions. The control should be need-based. Ask yourself this question: is there a need to control something where the cost of control is higher than the cost of not controlling it at all?

The flexibility provided by the internet is at the heart of our success as providers of superior quality services. Most of our projects are web-based, and thus we can communicate and transfer files through the internet. At the initial stage of communicating your project requirement, you can send us a brief description or a document about your project requirements. If you have an application on which you need us to work on or analyze, we will need to get:

  • Web server details
  • Database details
  • FTP details

If you want us to work on your server, we will need your Remote Desktop details.

This is covered through clear termination clauses in our contract. However, we try to prevent such a situation from ever arising by providing you with clear problem escalation routes. You can raise any issue to the Operations Manager, and the CEO for redressal and an appropriate solution will be provided.

We are committed to the security and confidentiality of the information that you share with us. With the aim of giving you a safe outsourcing experience with maximum benefits, we have set up a reliable information security system.

To ensure confidentiality of information, we encourage our customers to sign in a Confidential Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) at the very initial stage of the project discussion. The NDA has a legal binding and is an important document that ensures total security of your information in our hands. We also do not publish about our client projects unless we get prior permission.

Keeping in mind the information security concerns, we have engineered our infrastructure to eliminate all possible information leaks.
