Whilst considered a new player onto the scene for the Australian market, Egypt has long been a location of choice for plenty of multinational brands that have chosen to set up or expand operations in the country including Vodafone, Henkel and Dell Technologies.

 

Egypt has become well regarded on the international stage as a leading destination for outsourcing, culminating in being named as ‘Outsourcing Destination of the Year 2016’ at the Global Sourcing Association (GSA) European Awards .

 

Egypt offers a unique value proposition of a large pool of English-speaking university graduate, with good language availability across many other European languages (French, Italian, German, and Spanish) and among the lowest cost of service delivery.

 

Egypt also offers one of the best quality and scalable infrastructure for service delivery.

 

Egypt’s rich cultural diversity, geographic proximity to Europe and Asia and its role as the gateway to the Middle East and Africa is a major strategic advantage and a key driver for investments in Egypt.

“No matter the outsourcing model is, its expansion is fuelled by three key considerations: the availability of critical talent, cost of operations, and a robust infrastructure.”

 

EGYPT Offers all three!

 

Talent:While talent has always been important, historically, transactional skills – often along functional lines – were most sought after. In the increasingly automated environment of modern-day Shared Services, however, these capabilities are less relevant. Instead, SSO leaders are looking for talent that supports customer centricity (including language), business partnering, and the ability to leverage performance-driving competencies around data analytics and technology.

 

Robust Infrastructure: What multinational organisations in search of new locations are looking for, are countries that are committed to infrastructure investment and that prioritise cyber security issues. Cairo’s infrastructure is comparable to many European cities competing for Shared Services business. In addition, Egypt features in the 21 countries leading the Global Cyber Security index, demonstrating a high commitment to the five pillars that make up that index.

 

Cost of Operations: Egypt offers one of the most competitive operating cost. The difference in operating costs is primarily driven by lowers compensation costs, though costs of facilities and technology have also been reported to be significantly lower than in other offshore competing destinations.

 

Located in the heart of the world, Egypt is your gateway to competitively provide high quality business services and technology innovation to the rest of the world.
