Von Consulting Lists Top 10 Reasons Tech-Oriented Outsourcing is Actually Saving Costs in 2020

The pros and cons of outsourcing make for a hot topic of debate for businesses that are starting their entrepreneurial journey, as well as the established entities this year.

San Diego, USA, May 29, 2020 - Recent years have been groundbreaking for enterprises in terms of innovative technologies, as well as operations. A high volume of activity meant that companies resorted fully or partially to outsourcing of IT & technology services. The coronavirus pandemic escalating and turning over business processes worldwide raises the following question: is outsourcing still beneficial in 2020?

"The pros and cons of outsourcing make for a hot topic of debate for businesses that are starting their entrepreneurial journey, as well as the established entities this year. However, if you understand the full range of benefits that outsourcing comes to offer, I truly believe it can drive your company to a digitally progressive organization", says Vivien Untaru, General Manager of VON Consulting, an outsourcing firm operating in the United States and Germany, offering a full range of services from hardware and software development to IT support.

What IT functions companies can outsource

When one compares tech-oriented outsourcing with in-house teams, there are several things that go in favor of the first option. The type of services that one needs for their business depends on the size, operations, growth potential, and other requirements. However, the most commonly outsourced functions for businesses are software and application development, analog and digital design engineering, database development and management, nformation security, infrastructure setup and maintenance, telecommunications, technical support, research & development.

"Considering these benefits, outsourcing seems like the best choice for enterprises, as well as startups. However, there is a need to find a technology partner that you can rely on without any doubts, both in terms of technology expertise and consistency in service delivery", adds Ms. Untaru from VON Consulting IT outsourcing firm.

Here is why tech-oriented outsourcing is better than having an in-house team

Companies save money. Company will have lower labor costs as it will not spend money on recruiting, training, and retaining the employees, but rather access trained resources on hire and also get tax savings as well.

Companies save time. By partnering with an outsourcing vendor, Company is able to save the time that is needed to recruit and train the in-house team for the same functions. This reduces the burden on the HR department and also gets the projects up and running faster than expected.

Companies get access to a wider talent relay. in-house professionals may not be always in sync with certain technologies that companies may require. In such case, it is best to outsource skilled resources from elsewhere.

Companies can implement new technologies. The outsourcing model can make for the canvas of rapid implementation of new technologies in the company. And this is why one will not need to train resources or hire new ones to initiate the change. Reliable IT companies offer expertise and experience that is needed for early adoption of a new technology.

Companies are better protected from risks. Besides cost reduction, tech-oriented outsourcing is associated with risk reduction as well. The reason is that outsourcing providers significantly assume and manage the risk for the client as they come with specific industry knowledge, particularly security and compliance issues.

Companies get hands-on continuous consultancy. Making full use of external expertise, a company gets the opportunity to be evaluated on a continuous basis by experts who can give suggestions regarding improvements and can also help  better scale the processes. In a nutshell, company gets free consultancy for re-engineering it's existing operations and setup.

Companies can use internal resources better. When a company outsources professionals to handle certain functions, it frees up the internal resources to look after some other business-critical process. One can invest time and money saved on fulfilling more meaningful requirements of their company.

Companies can improve core business. Businesses have only limited resources, which can be focused on the core areas once it has the grounds covered. With a reliable provider by the company side, one need not worry about the complex operations set, security, and scaling decisions.

Business will evolve at a larger rate. With external providers looking after burdensome tasks such as maintenance and support, one will be able to thus move forward, focusing on measures that are efficient, as well as profitable.

Companies can identify new business avenues. Outsourcing may be a smart idea for businesses that want to explore growth opportunities in new market areas. Providers can actually help the company to expand its business by closing the gap between the point of service delivery and the end users.

"All the above mentioned reasons for outsourcing your technical oriented services are even more of high importance this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic shuffling business cards, so to speak, in a decisive manner. We understand all the implications of a meaningful partnership with an outsourcing company and have top talents in support and consultancy ready to ensure your business is successful. Because, after all, the measure of a fruitful collaboration are results, tailored to every company’s needs", concludes Vivien Untaru from IT outsourcing firm VON Consulting.

US Capital Global Triples Financial Support for India's Hungry and Displaced Following Extension of COVID19 Lockdown

Through its California-based foundation, Braj Bhumi Group, US Capital Global has increased its financial support to philanthropic projects feeding tens of thousands in country devastated by the coronavirus crisis.

San Francisco, California, USA., May 19, 2020 - As global lockdowns are extended and vulnerable populations are forced to bear the brunt, San Francisco-based global private financial group US Capital Global has tripled its philanthropic efforts during the COVID-19 crisis. Through its California-based foundation, Braj Bhumi Group, US Capital Global supports programs that help solve crucial social and environmental issues.

India’s 21-day coronavirus lockdown, which resulted in the imminent threat of starvation for millions, has been extended into next month. Although enforced to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the extension has caused widespread concern for the health and welfare of India’s large informal workforce, which makes up 85% of the country’s employed population and subsists on daily wages to survive, as well as 40 million children from poor families. This is further exasperated by fears of growing food shortages. While the Indian Government has rolled out substantial aid packages and food distribution programs, there are many who fall through the cracks.

Through its philanthropic foundation, Braj Bhumi Group, US Capital Global is directly engaging with local grassroots organizations such as Radhe Kunj, a nonprofit ashram based in the ancient temple town of Vrindavan, India, to support those suffering most during the crisis. Amid the world’s largest lockdown, Radhe Kunj safely distributes free meals daily to anyone in need, ensuring that no one in the vicinity goes hungry as a result of the lockdown. In light of the lockdown’s extension and the country’s continued food crisis, Braj Bhumi Group is significantly increasing its financial contributions in support of the nonprofit’s work.

“While the effects of COVID-19 ravage the world’s poorest communities, the current circumstances have fueled a broader consciousness of what connects us as humans, inspiring many to reach across cultural and geographical divides to help strangers during this time,” said Jeffrey Sweeney, Chairman and CEO at US Capital Global. “We are witnessing what may be called a ‘New Globalism’, where people from opposite sides of the world are connecting to support those most in need. This vision of human connection and service lies at the core of our philanthropic foundation, Braj Bhumi Group. As the situation in rural India intensifies during the lockdown, we are honored to be increasing our financial support for nonprofits on the coronavirus frontlines, feeding tens of thousands of hungry villagers, informal workers, families, and medicants.”

US Capital Global Chairman and CEO, Jeffrey Sweeney, and Managing Partner, Charles Towle, serve on Braj Bhumi Group’s Board of Directors and financial advisory groups. Over the past twenty years, US Capital Global’s Philanthropic Solutions division has been delivering expertise and a comprehensive suite of financing and advisory services to help institutions build and sustain their nonprofit missions.

New 120 Million Dollar Data Centre Will Bring Jobs, Opportunity and Connectivity to Darwin and Australia

$120 million Data Centre will bring jobs, opportunity and connectivity to Darwin and Australia

Darwin, Australia., May 12, 2020 - IOT Data Centres Pty Ltd (“IOTDC”), announce the commencement of a $120m Data Centre project in the Northern Territory.  The IOTDC facility, slated for an early 2021 opening, positions the Northern Territory as a central data and communications hub, connecting, the East, West and North coasts of Australia into South East Asia.   As the first of a series of 10 other separately funded facilities around Australia, the Darwin centre means an immediate investment of $12m with the additional investment expected to integrate the Northern Territory into the rest of the IOT Data Centre pipeline.

IOTDC announces phase one of their Data Centre facility to be located in the Northern Territory.  This $120m investment will deliver a Tier 3* (Uptime Institute Certified) city integrated data facility into the closest major Australian city to South East Asia. 

The state-of-the-art facility which will be delivered in fully operational stages, enables the Northern Territory to play a significant role in connecting with the rest of Australia by providing additional information gateways into the SE Asian region. Working together with Vertiv, TotalSecure, Wolfe Systems, TPG and Intersector Capital, the IOTDC facility has been slated for early 2021 with subsequent phases to soon follow.

Steve Shelley, vice president of integrated modular solutions at Vertiv, a global provider of critical digital infrastructure and continuity solutions, believes, "Data centres are the core foundation infrastructure needed for economic growth. Ultimately, data is what runs the world and there is a natural acceleration in demand for data centre services, as people and businesses rely more on the digital ecosystem for activities including banking, shopping, education, remote work and entertainment.  We are always demanding more of the internet and more than ever, our daily lives depend on data and data centres. This will be a really important infrastructure piece for Darwin’s recovery"

The new IOTDC data centre brings regional benefits like better connectivity to both East and West coasts of Australia, Smart City initiatives, and new customers from outside the Territory, enabling accelerated growth of new jobs and positive economic development.

The addition of this data processing capacity is important to the Territory, and globally, as Covid19 has placed increased demand on the internet, and data centre services.  New infrastructure is needed to service the requirements from major operators such as YouTube, Netflix and Facebook, and other businesses which are now dealing with the need to protect themselves from risk due to the newly introduced work from home strategies.  https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/24/tech/youtube-video-quality-coronavirus/index.html) The IOTDC data centre means that the NT will be one of the first locations in the world to see an upgrade in infrastructure capability in order to satisfy these needs.

When asked on the implications of the IOTDC project to the Territory, a representative of the Department of Trade, Business and Innovation stated that “The Northern Territory Government welcomes private sector investment and is actively working with the IOT Data Centre proponents on the proposal.  The IOTDC Data Centre project has the potential to advance the Territory’s goal of being a digital leader in the region through the development of a highly secure, high speed terabit network.”

By bringing in investment from outside the Territory, IOTDC is delivering an internationally recognized capability and preparing the region for inevitable demand which comes from better integration with the large international consumer markets in the region, and new requirements to service emerging technology industries.   

TPG, soon to be a part of the merged Vodaphone-TPG organisation, has recently agreed terms in relation to the provision of its services within this project.  IOTDC believes that these favourable terms enable it to create new enterprise capability in the region, aligned with the Northern Territory’s Terabit Territory aspirations.  The project will create great impetus and opportunity for the Territory.  Its increased role in the development of future technology connectivity in South East Asia, and the relocation to and expansion of technology related businesses will support jobs and growth in the NT and the rest of the country.  TPG, as a service provider and stake holder in the Territory’s first certified Tier 3 Data Centre, is a key piece in IOTDC’s offering.
Due to the imminent TPG/Vodafone merger, TPG were unable to comment but IOTDC believes that TPG’s continued support of the project will be a critical part of delivering competitive, connected leading enterprise capability to the region.

Companies Hiring Right Now amid Coronavirus have Changes in Personnel Recruitment and Selection

Ms. Untaru, VON Consulting General Manager, comments about trends in personnel recruitment & human resources in the US

LA, USA., May 6, 2020 - Vivien Untaru, VON Consulting recruitment agency GM, has set up international recruitment campaigns in Central and South-Eastern Europe and recently started in the US. The agency she manages provides recruitment services, hardware design and verification services, IT support and software development for customers in different industries. The team she manages helps clients by building teams on and off site, remotely or on their premises that can assist in ongoing projects or can take on full projects. By bringing in passion for the technical fields and an innovative approach, the VON Consulting team has become a supportive long-term partner for clients’ businesses.

Ms. Untaru, VON Consulting General Manager, comments about trends in personnel recruitment & human resources in the US, in the interview below.

What industries were most affected by coronavirus in the US?
The first to feel the coronavirus impact were hospitality, horeca, travel and retail sectors. Also, the real estate sector registered a slow-down in transactions and, recently, prices started to be more flexible. In March and April, things escalated and these sectors, amongst others, were hit hard and lost jobs to the thousands.

What will be the sectors hiring in the upcoming months?
IT, telecom, online consumer goods, transportation & courier companies will most certainly continue recruiting.
Industries affected directly by the coronavirus (to mention a few - hospitality, leisure, travel, leisure, retail, constructions) will restructure their employee scheme, but some will be hiring for their online engines.

What do companies need to keep in mind at this point, as regards to their employees?
During this time it is important to keep the existing workforce fully engaged and motivated. Many companies can actually design turn-around plans and launch new projects/products, improve processes, design new marketing strategies by involving their employees. In these times, many solutions might come from the people in the field, in direct contact with the customer, able to see day-to-day issues.

How can companies create shared value in their future recruitment processes?
Companies need to engage their current employees in the recruitment processes. Workers with a history in the company should be included in the hiring stages, as well as in the onboarding process.

How employees or candidates will adapt to this coronavirus impacted work landscape?
Employees and candidates as well are already starting to understand the importance of reskilling or gaining new expertise in digital management of day-to-day attributions, learning to work with new online tools. Companies should include online learning and training, seminars, courses and career exploration in their employee retention and loyalty practices. Companies should provide the means for a safe on-site activity. For those situations, where some of the employees could continue to work from home, shifts could be organized in such a way that only a certain number of employees will be present in the office at any given moment, allowing for proper social distancing. Candidates should also be called in for on-site interviews only in final stages of the process so as to minimize exposure of both team and candidates.

How can companies improve their human resources processes in the future?
First of all, companies need to be more open to online recruitment and online recruitment tools adapted to their profile, as this trend, enhanced by the coronavirus pandemic, will continue to grow in the near future.
Remote working will also see a rise and companies need to make sure they have procedures in place for their employees, in order to generate performance and ensure the day-to-day efficient flow of activity, while also maintaining employee satisfaction.

Will the employee experience continue to be a top priority in HR in 2020?
Yes, only it will suffer some transformations. Employees who are energized by their job are essential to transformation agendas, are more likely to stay, are more resilient and more ready to reskill. Energized employees will choose to work in cultures that are empathetic, in environments they find enriching, and in work cultures that are both efficient and embracing.

What are the main hurdles that companies need to overcome in the coming months?
Good team-management interactions and better enablement of digital working in times of social distancing. This is where a professional HR partner with expertise can make the difference.

Top Cat Kits Launches reviews, expert Advice and informative articles, library of articles, blogs, and guides, covers a broad range of topics related to cats such as their accessories, breeds, foods, grooming and so on

Virginia, USA., May 4, 2020 - Top Cat Kits Launches an all new website comprising all the information one need about raising a cat and ensuring their feline friend is happy and healthy. Newly launched website is complete with expert advice, informative articles, blogs, and guides, covers a broad range of topics related to cats such as their accessories, breeds, foods, grooming and so on.
 

The team at Top Cat Kits is going above and beyond the call of duty to bring all the information and guidance one need about raising a pet cat. All cat owners will agree that it’s easy to decide that they want to adopt a cat and bring it home; however, it can be a daunting task to ensure it remains healthy and fit, gets proper nutrition and grows up to be a happy pet. 

Cats are known to be moody animals. A cat’s routine is not as disciplined as that of a dog. On one hand,  dog will prompt for its meals and exercise, whereas on the other hand, cat will give  a tough time when it comes to feeding and exercising. Therefore, it’s of the utmost important to understand when and how to feed cat, how to make it exercise and ensure it remains fit; identify the best accessories cat lovers need to groom the cat and keep it entertained, and so on. And, that’s exactly what Team Top Cat Kits works on, round the clock.

The team at Top Cat Kits is headed by Sarah Jane, a writer, blogger and cat enthusiast. She is a mom to 4 beautiful cats (2 Persian, 1 Himalayan, and 1 American Shorthair) and they are her motivation behind starting the website. Her team comprises cat experts, cat enthusiasts, veterinarians and expert trainers. Currently, Sarah is also looking for guest bloggers to contribute their ideas and thoughts to broaden and strengthen her cat community.

“My cats are my world. I have learnt a lot about cats (breeds, nutrition, accessories and so on) over 5 years and want to share my knowledge and experiences with all cat owners around the world,” she says. “My friends and family call me the Cat Woman,” added Sarah in a humorous tone.
 

Visitors can access a wide variety of content related to cats. As a website visitor, one will find “Buying Guides,” “Informative Articles,” “Best Product Guides,” and so on.  Some of the most popular posts on the website include, “The Best Cat Treats of 2020,” “The Best Cat Carrier of 2020,” and “The Best Cat Trees in 2020.”
