    What is GCC as a Service

    GCC as a service is a model that helps build global capability centers, also known as global captive centers, for tech product companies. GCCs become centralized hubs aimed at managing key business functions, including HR, IT, customer service, finance, and supply.ย 

    How is a GCC different from outsourcing? It is entirely operated by the parent company, which means full control over service data security, IP, and service quality.ย 

    Global technology companies set up a GCC in the areas of:

    • Artificial intelligence
    • Cloud computing
    • Data analytics
    • Research and development
    • Robotic process automation

    GCC as a Service Advantages

    The advantages of the GCC solution are strategic, mainly:ย 

    • Spurring digital transformation. Global capability centers give access to tech-talent-rich areas, providing innovative companies with fully integrated teams to spearhead their growth.ย 
    • Going beyond cost savings. A well-established global center acts as another company office, eventually generating ample revenue instead of temporarily helping to save costs.
    • Reaching seamless management. Since a GCC as a service model will operate under the company management, the in-house team will share corporate business practices and values, ultimately resulting in consistently outstanding performance.

    TOP Destinations to Establish GCC

    India leads the scene for GCC as a service model, with the GCCs accounting for more than 1% of the countryโ€™s GDP. Admittedly, this is a significant development: the number of GCCs in India may reach 2,400 by 2030.ย 

    However, there are other locations that abound with AI, cloud, and data science tech talent for global tech teams. Whatโ€™s more, they are not as tapped into as India:

    • Latin America: 1.75+ million of tech talent & leading positions in data analytics and AI development in Mexico and Colombia.
    • Eastern Europe: 1.5 million software engineers, ranking high in data science and cloud in Poland, Romania, and Ukraine.

    Mistakes When Setting Up a GCC

    • Relying on outsourcing. You might think that your outsourcing or outstaffing provider can also provide a capability center as a service. However, most such agencies lack the necessary expertise and charge buy-out fees for hiring an employee. These reach up to 50% of the talent compensation. Hence, a transition from an outsourced team to a GCC setup will break the bank. Itโ€™s better to choose a provider who doesnโ€™t charge you for insourcing talent and provides a full range of services.
    • Operating with several providers. Working with several providers at once undermines the goal of a GCC, which is efficiency. Your business will have to align talent acquisition, employer branding, back-office functions, and more. The result? Such a global capability center platform wonโ€™t change the game but will drain your management instead. In contrast, choosing a single global capability center provider maximizes your strategic benefits: your GCC runs smoothly and entirely contributes to innovations.

    Companies Scaling with Alcor

    Alcor is a reliable partner that meets our hiring needs. We finally hired experienced software engineers in Eastern Europe with strong tech skills and business acumen. Account Managers are awesome!

    Andrii Akselrod CTO People.ai

    With Alcor’s all-in-one solution, we got a software R&D office with 15 senior PHP devs and a compliant operational coverage. I really appreciated their transparent pricing structure and deep expertise.

    Boris Glants CTO Tonic Health

    We interviewed a lot of EoR platforms and companies, but Alcor was the only one that provides a combo package of EoR and Recruting offerings. Alcor helped us build a full stack team in 1.5 month.

    Dmitrii Iermiichuk Head of Engineering Gotransverse

    We wanted to switch from our outsourcing provider, and Alcor has become really game-changing for us. Within a mere 6 months, we got a fully-fledged team of 30 engineers in our own R&D office.

    Elena Leonova Director of Product Management Bigะกommerce

    Alcorโ€™s R&D solution eclipses full-cycle recruitment, EOR service, and operational support for our offshore team. Their ‘all-in-one place’ approach is far more cost-effective than I could’ve imagined.

    Farhad Shamshirzan
    Farhad Shamshirzan Director of Software Engineering Certent

    I value their commitment to going the extra mile. We evolved from an outstaff project into an independent company, and Alcor’s support was crucial. They hired and ondoarded 15+ professionals for us.

    Grigoriy Didorenko Research and Development Director BIScience

    Thanks to Alcor, we hired four engineers and a designer that strengthened our team. Beside stellar recruitment, Alcor flawlessly handled our payroll. Their approach was seamless and swift.

    Kirill Latish Head of Engineering & Communications Velory

    Alcor closed our 4 QA positions in a month and more than doubled the team in a year! We chose Alcor because of their communication style, cost, scope of services, and ideas to help us be successful.

    FAQ

    1. What are the top regions to build a global capability center?

    For now, the most popular region for the GCC framework is Asia Pacific. However, itโ€™s oversaturated with foreign tech businesses, so we at Alcor recommend tapping into burgeoning technology hubsโ€”Latin America and Eastern Europe. Itโ€™s a win-win: you get global teams for 40% less cost while bypassing the competition with big tech.

    2. What are the top countries for establishing GCCs?

    In the LATAM region, these are Mexico and Colombia. In Eastern Europe, opt for Poland, Romania, or Ukraine. For a more informed choice, consider the top tech spheres in each location. Mexico leads in AI, while Colombia excels in data science. As for Eastern Europe, Poland is #1 for RPA, Romania boasts the best tech infrastructure, and Ukraine shines in data analytics. Consult Alcor for more!

    3. How to choose where to expand a tech business?

    Approach the choice of your future tech hub by evaluating the business environment, talent capabilities, and legal environment. The business environment should be favorable, talent skills should match your needs, and legal peculiarities shouldnโ€™t be an obstacle to your employer’s duties.

    4. When is a business ready to use a GCC as a service?

    If you need to delegate a single IT process for a short term to fill in the expertise gap, offshore tech recruitment in-house will be a better solution than a GCC. A GCC platform, in turn, is an excellent choice for a company thatโ€™s ready for full-fledged innovation and rapid scaling into another location with compliance and tax support. The need for top-tier tech talent, in this case, is burning and will help your company skyrocket.
