EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Eagle
Creek Software Services, the leading provider of U.S. onshore
technology services, is featured in a BBC World News documentary “Our
World – Bringing Business Back”. The story magnifies the U.S.’s demand
for higher levels of service and quality from offshore outsourcing
countries.
This worldwide documentary aired on the BBC between February 13th
and February 16th. The production highlights that many U.S.
based companies are now adopting U.S. onshore technology services as
opposed to offshore outsourcing. Natalia Antelava, award winning
journalist, traveled across the U.S. and India documenting this shift.
Ms. Antelava investigates one of the major trends in globalization over
the last fifteen years – the outsourcing of U.S. jobs to low cost
offshore areas. Antelava then challenges if the U.S. is not at the
beginning of a new paradigm for U.S. manufacturing and technology
outsourcing.
The 30 minute documentary features Eagle Creek as a pioneer in the U.S.
public/private partnership arena, building U.S. based STEM jobs for the
high-tech industry. The partnership includes Eagle Creek and the
relationships formed with the State of South Dakota, the community of
Vermillion, South Dakota, and the University of South Dakota. This
partnership has built world-class technology programs for college
graduates entering and competing in the U.S. IT services industry, while
producing successful financial returns for state and community economic
programs.
“U.S. onshore is now recognized as an imperative for companies deploying digital
business,” said Ken Behrendt, CEO of Eagle Creek, who was
interviewed by the BBC. “Of no coincidence a Gartner Insight Report was
just released advocating U.S. onshore,” added Behrendt. “Our unique
onshore/onsite consultant model allows our customers to better manage
cost and substantially increase quality, while minimizing risk in
software development, deployment and support. And we’re doing it by
investing in America.”
