70 percent of total SAP spending is spent on internal labor CCI grows market share with US based SAP Remote Labor Milwaukee, WI – August 23, 2004– CCI, today announced an agreement, to support US based SAP firms and their SAP solution needs with their American based SAP Operations practice. "Why would a firm not US-Source over Off-Shoring when the cost is 10% less to stay in the USA? We continue to grow and to strengthen our US-sourcing," said Christopher M. Carter, CEO of CCI. "By assisting companies with our American Based SAP solutions, and in particular our operations support, we can further support their needs for a progressive, effective SAP system.” The greatest cost of any IT investment is not the hardware, software or service contracts, but the staff expenses for resources needed to develop applications, manage and support these assets. In fact, more than 70 percent of total IT spending is spent on internal labor. Managing an offshore contract, for example, increases the cost by six to ten percent, according to industry figures. Other extras include productivity lags, ramp up expenses, and "dead" money towards those laid off at home. Due to the piled up costs, many companies are bringing their operations back to the USA, to regain control of data and lower costs. “Our number one goal for CCI is to make sure every SAP company is getting the best service and support from an American based company who truly cares about their SAP environment, their company and their success, and now we are showing more firms the same true great American based support.” Stated Carter.
