utsourcing has its own influence and no one can flout this
Ofact. Enlarging feet of globalization and technologies have
simplified the business and now no one lingers in
outsourcing their work to others. Cost effectiveness as well as the
workspace is increased due to outsourcing process.
Nevertheless, impacts of outsourcing can be seen on the entire world
as it has become a special benefit for many developing countries.
There are several multinationals that are outsourcing their needs to
various companies located in these countries. Unexpectedly, such
advantages have enhanced the importance of outsourcing in the
business world and consequently, almost each and every business
has its grit in the form of outsourcing.
Essentially, outsourcing service is an advancement of the tralatitious
style of managing business including varied versions of businesses
contracting out. In the process of outsourcing, an organization works
with pellucid smattering of needs and its proper execution. It helps
an organization in amassing virtuous solutions as well as availing it
on a much reduced cost and this is known as an aggressive mode of
business process.
Outsourced working style has absolutely changed the procedure of
delivery; however contracting out of work has much to handle with
efficiency and accuracy as organizations are now tendering towards
solutions that are done with fidelity. Services of outsourcing also
help in availing skilled and expert services and specifically getting a
facility designed by an expert. For instance, if there is a need for a
solution with an exceptional efficiency then one can outsource the
need to an SME and get the service which they are looking for.
Furthermore, outsourcing helps in relishing the latest trends of
businesses, in order to offer contentment to clients; organizations
keep on adapting the newer form of working style and accordingly
offers the services too. It also helps in complacency a service that is
efficient as well as ahead of time. So outsource your need, if looking
for a much professional service.

ecently, a lot of businesses
Ropportunities have been
brought up through
outsourcing for various countries. Over
the years, India has created a niche for
itself in IT and ITES outsourcing.
Perhaps, India is the biggest
beneficiary of the outsourcing boom.
When it comes to outsourcing, a large
majority of IT companies prefer to
choose India due to the presence of
multi-talented pool of reliability,
affordable resources, and timeliness.
A Brief Recap of How Outsourcing
Started
Today, outsourcing has definitely
revolutionized how industries operate.
When it first started, it was confined to
low-risk functions like data entry and
payroll processing. Later on a large
scale, customer service operations
were outsourced.
This led outsourcing cost benefits
spearheaded and organizations have
started taking notice of it. Global
companies started outsourcing high-
end functions like healthcare BPO, IT
services, and research services to
reliable companies who previously
wanted to leverage the cost benefits of
outsourcing. Nowadays outsourcing is
no longer seems to be a new word only
for the low cost labor rather it has
become a key business strategy for
both small and large business
enterprises.
Debate - To Outsource or Not
While most organizations across the
industry verticals vow by the pros of
outsourcing, the outsourcing debate
continues over its long-term
sustainability. Many opponents of
outsourcing argue that the flip side of
outsourcing lacks quality control as
well as hold on the project
management, and also it lowers the
innovation prospects. Many
outsourcing critics point out that rise in
salary, outsourcing destinations like
India, is taking the shine away from
outsourcing and thus making it non-
profitable in the long run.
Despite perceiving such negative
aspects, still outsourcing has only
continued to grow. In fact, it is now
being embraced by companies of all
sizes and domains. From large
enterprises to startups, outsourcing has
become a tool of choice for gaining
competitive advantage in the business
framework. Although businesses are
moving towards multiple platforms
like social, mobile, cloud etc.,
stakeholders are getting distributed
geographically; in such a contrasting
environment, outsourcing has been
able to appropriately adjust with the
rapidly changing business
environments.
Till now only crux business situations
have helped to build the case for
outsourcing further. Testimony to the
fact that businesses not only need to
learn how to survive during a downturn
is due to the recent global economic
crisis, but also there is a need to look at
newer ways of overcoming weak
economic conditions. The current
business scenario is all about
“outsource and survive”, and
systematically managing your projects
of outsourcing and always staying
ahead in the competition.
Foreseeing the Future Trends of
Outsourcing
As outsourcing provides companies the
access to specialized skills and saves
on effort and time, outsourcing will
continue to survive in the future and
can be channeled into the other core
business ventures. Relationships of
outsourcing are now more
standardized, and it is process and
people driven rather than price driven.
Cost pressures will pave the way for
custom outsourcing contracts. A higher
adoption of outsourcing will be
witnessed by small businesses and
startups in order to increase their time
to market and reduce the operational
inefficiencies. Also, R&D outsourcing
in these industries will also tap into the
wider outsourcing potential of India.
Additionally, in the next decade, high-
end critical business functions will be
outsourced while low-end services will
be stabilized.

Across the globe, HR is a non-standard practice and is quite
unique to each industry or entity. For this reason, it is
necessary to work around and try to see how to reflect the
ambitions and aspirations of that particular entity and its
human resource in an interactive manner, ensuring a path to
excellence. That’s one of the key elements of the issue.
At Ascent Consulting, they believe that by offering their
own solutions they have the advantage of being adaptable,
an option which would be lost to them had used inflexible
third party solutions. Therefore, flexibility, agility and
adaptability are something that they keenly bring to the
table and this has been something that has helped them
overcome obstacles. It also has the advantage of providing
such solutions in a short span of time.
At Ascent Consulting, their inherent approach to assist a
client in any function always provides the best combination
of skills & knowledge resulting in an excellent outsourcing
service or solution
Relation with Clients
Traditionally, Ascent Consulting have been a company that
is into outsourcing which means that they try to take
enterprise clients and manage services which has been the
storyboard of their enterprise so far. In addition to that, they
provide services in the form of staffing and training. They
also have value addition in terms of their new SMB
solution, i.e. Small Business Solutions, which is more like a
software service in the cloud that is thus unique in terms of
its approach.
This has probably been born out of the experience that
Ascent Consulting has dealing with enterprises because of
which they are familiar with the pain points, the challenges
and the tough tasks that lie ahead of the HR Service
Delivery. This has led to a kind of combined expertise
which has been implemented in this. So they believe that by
next year they should be on track for being the fastest
growing company by scaling their worldwide presence. In
their opinion, they should be able to do at least 200 clients
in the current year.
Ascent Consulting have implemented a very large HRO
solution for an enterprise which has more than 65,000
employees ensuring their capability in handling large
companies. This is a unique experience as far as India is

Need of Ramping-Up
Outsourcing Services
oday, outsourcing has become an accepted as well as a standard strategy for business leaders, thanks to the notion
Tacceptance of “core competence” as the focal point for a business structure. One major challenge that every
business will face is whether they should outsource their processes or not. And after they have decided on what to
outsource, the decision of how to pick the right outsourcing partner about the process is a huge challenge. Now, many
companies have a mix of relationships with their own supplier partners and internal teams all over the world and are
striving for excellence in core areas while outsourcing the rest is common wisdom.
Using these guidelines for so many years as a rule of thumb, now organizations often resemble a nexus of relationships,
with the internal teams located globally and the head ofﬁce connected with other companies. Yet, many organizations
have bitter experiences with offshoring, either in terms of goals not being met or disruption to business, or the occasional
need to reverse course and insource processes.
In the Insights Success magazine, be sure to check out the cover story where ‘Ascent Consulting Services’ throws light on
how traditional outsourcing is becoming signiﬁcantly unappealing and the entail of organizations to evolve for keeping
pace, while inscribing pointed questions like why most of the developing nations are vying to be seen as the most
attractive outsourcing destination and forgetting that markets are inside their own backyards and regions.
Insights Success magazine has collated the list of the outsourcing providers of the industry. They proffer great acumen
that will help an organization to comprehend how outsourcing works and how they can use the information to improve
their business.
Insights Success magazine has covered and presents you ‘The 10 Most Valuable Outsourcing Companies 2016’, after
shortlisting a long list of outsourcing providers that will help companies in making decisions while dealing with fresh
wave of outsourcing initiatives.

Behind the Scenes
Software
Outsourcing
Issues and
Blunders
Starting the Contract: While
considering the umpteen number of
problems that may come across when
an IT service provision is handed over,
it will be wise to have a well-defined
transition period in terms of the
contract and decide the commencement
date as soon as possible.
Ownership: Ownership is another
significant matter about software
services outsourcing. In order to avoid
disputes, the ownership of information
and data should be cleared.
Licensing and Third Party
Suppliers: While involving a 3rd party
software supplier, care must be taken
to get appropriate license. Licenses
currently held by the purchaser must be
extended to include the activities of the
outsourcer. It must be agreed upon as
to which party will administer the
terms of any agreement going on
between the purchaser and 3rd party
supplier. Maintenance contracts also
must be transferred to the outsourcer.
SLA and Management: SLA’s
(service level agreements) is the
minimum level of service that must be
provided; is the basis to measure the
outsourcer’s performance. It may also
be noted that both the parties must be
aware about the flexibility of SLA’s
and review period in the SLA to cover
changing purchaser requirements and
new technology.
System Requirement Specification:
The defining of the system as well as
service specifications must be done
well when it comes to software
services outsourcing.
Insurance: The outsourcer should
have public liability insurance, in case
of loss or liability through injury or
damage.
Warranties: The warranty must
contain service quality and compliance
with specification.
Moreover, effective management
includes reporting and review of the
performance of the outsourcer, through
consultation between both the
outsourcer and the purchaser. So, those
seeking opportunities offshore ought to
be aware of the many aspects of
software services outsourcing.
ver a short span of time,
Osoftware outsourcing offshore
has become an inseparable
part of the modern IT business.
Perhaps this is the time to look back on
the usual blunders committed during
offshore outsourcing.
While approaching order fulfillment
companies, always keep in mind
initially, not entering into long-term
contracts. One must have an IT
strategy, which has a patrollable
boundary between the outsourcing firm
and your responsibilities. Also, on the
basis of an established objective, get a
contract which spells out performance
measurements. And, it will be the
corner stone of the process.
Once a service or work is outsourced,
leave the service provider to do his
work. Never try to mess up his work
by implementing unnecessary control.
Always outsource your work to a firm
who has an established track record or
else your whole software outsourcing
could end up in a disaster. Also, stay
clear of offshore software outsourcing
blunders as this will save you against
whole lot of problems. There are
several issues with respect to software
services outsourcing.

he Need and Benefits of RFID
RFID is among the niche technology innovation by
mankind that comes with a bouquet of advantages which
helps in reducing the generic challenges faced by
organization resulting from long time consuming process,
Identified /Unidentified Human Error, Tracking and
Tracing, Pilferage, Counterfeiting, and absence of
transparency. As an Industry, we all work for deadlines and
any discrepancies arising out it is a cost to the organization,
this cost indirectly affects the profits /margins of the
business.
The benefits of this technology can be seen in the form of
better transparency in the system, real time information
updates which helps in quick decision making, Better
accountability, Elimination of Human errors, resulting in
better profit margins and high compliance levels.
These days applications of RF technology can be referred to
in our day to day life like Metro transport smart Card,
automatic pass system at toll gates, wristbands worn by
staff at petrol pumps, windshield tags on new 4 wheelers,
keyless entry in vehicles, cashless cards at food court in
malls etc.
Revolutionizing IoT with RFID
The power of RFID is even more evident when we look at
emerging opportunities for RFID in the Internet of Things
(IoT) landscape. The number and range of IoT applications
that can be envisioned with RFID devices are tremendous.
The inherent value of RFID lies in enabling “things” to
report data in real time for faster, quicker, more interactive
decisions both at the industrial level and increasingly at the
consumer level.
One of such examples in everyday life is automated home,
where people can interact with everyday devices in their
homes. This vision of the future sees appliances such as
refrigerators being aware of their ‘state’, and knowing when
to order and replenish groceries; electronics such as
lighting, music and TV automatically tuning to individual
preferences, which can be managed by presence (proximity
to RF-enabled device), by time or by sensory input; access
solutions, whether logical ones for Wi-Fi user authorization,
or hands-free operation of doors and windows.... the
possibilities are truly endless.

The ‘Big’ Technology Ride:
What it Means for Business
Transformation and the Shift!
Many times you might have
heard people saying that
‘Change is the ultimate law
of nature, and every single thing in this
world is inherently subjected to
change.’ We all have to agree that
technology and evolution have similar
story as ‘change’, and over the period
of time, technological development has
mastered our human race in the most
spectacular way. The scale, scope, and
complexity of this change are vast-
something that is beyond and above
our limitations and experience. Neither
have we had a complete idea that how
this change took place nor we are
absolutely confident about the future
progression. But one thing that is sure
is its dynamic effect on the socio-
economic, cultural and industrial
sphere of our society.
The BIG Impact- 200 Years of
Industrial Revolution:
Ever since the dawn of the industrial
revolution, the socio-technological
paradigm in industrial structure has
seen a visible shift. With each passing
day, technology is becoming more and
more scientific. And not just the origin
is scientific in nature, but also the
entire development process and
fundamental idea and knowledge
behind the technology has an
experimental touch. So whether it is
about the discovery of artificial
intelligence or the advent of
superconducting material, every story
has similar components like
technological invention, extraordinary
application, super material and
advanced economy.
Three factors that have
extraordinarily supported the
technological shift:
•Speed: The pace with which the
technology is advancing is
phenomenal. In comparison to the
previous stages, the latest evolution is
at an exponential pace.
•Scope: As technology is connecting
billions of people through smart
devices at unprecedented power and
storage options, the scope is unlimited.
•System and its impact: The emerging
technology thrives on innovation
system, and the impact is ever
promising.
Emerging Technologies in Recent
Times:
The technological breakthrough in
domains like artificial intelligence,
robotics, IoT (internet of things), 3-D
printing, nanotechnology,
biotechnology, quantum computing,
etc. is magnificent. As we find
ourselves surrounded amidst artificial
intelligence (such as in automobiles
and virtual assistance), we are simply
blown away by the way computing is
riding the technology drive. It is the
power of computing that makes the
vast amount of data available to the
user over the cloud- from the use of
new software to the discovery of drugs;
the advancement of technology drives
every single sphere. We can see how
the digital technology is interacting
with the biological domain every day
to give rise to some new heights of
innovation. The professional domains
are combined as the roles of engineers,
designers, architects and conceptual
thinkers are collective.
Perks of Technological
Advancement:
•Technological advancement has
paved way to higher income levels.
With the rise in global revenue, the
GDP of nations are improving, and as
people are able to earn more, it is
developing their buying behavior and
socio-economic culture.
•Technology is becoming a synonym to
comfort. It has raised the ‘Quality of
Living’As people are able to live a
comfortable life, there is higher
contentment and satisfaction. The
world is becoming a happier place.
•Technology is improving our
efficiency levels. It is making the
world a ‘preferable’ space to live and
more than that; it is developing our cult
zeal for competition.
•With integrated technologies, we now
understand the power of collective
comfort. For instance, if you have a
CXO Standpoint
JULY 2016 |
32

smartphone, then you can use it for multiple purposes like
calling, messaging, browsing, filming, booking a cab,
watching a movie, listening music, making quick payments,
etc.
•Technology has rationally dropped the cost of
transportation and communication. The global supply chain
is as lucrative as ever. Economic growth is ever rising, and
the cost of the trade is diminishing.
How IT Businesses/ Start-ups can take benefits
•Don’t scrimp on technology- it is a tool to improve the
productivity and communication channels of your
business.
•Manage and know your online data with the help of
analytics. It’s insightful.
•Embrace cloud technology to modify your data space and
utility.
•Make your business contactable through mobile
friendliness.
•If you are planning to go online with your business, make
network security a major concern.
•Research for the best Social Media options for a winning
digital presence.
•Introduce innovation through BYOD (bring your own
device) concept to employees.

Will Outsourcing Continue to Grow
outsourcing, perceive that the future of
outsourcing will perpetuate to remain
secure particularly due to several
benefits that outsourcing brings both to
the offshore provider and the buyer.
The benefits of outsourcing are
manifold - the most important being
cost-effectiveness and better
infrastructure and this has led to its
sustained growth.
Cost Savings Will Continue To Be an
Advantage
In the early years, one of the major
advantages of outsourcing was the
mammoth difference in cost.
Organizations were able to curtail their
overall outlay considerably by paying
less than half the wonted amount in
salaries to their offshore outsourcing
partners.
In the early 90s, outsourcing
started as a revolutionary
phenomenon of propelling
unskilled work from developed
countries to developing countries, has
adept prodigious growth over the past
10 years.
Today, after more than a decade of
outsourcing, the triumph of
outsourcing is being catechized. Now,
the question arises will outsourcing
continue to flourish or be curtailed by
force in the coming years? Also, will
the advantages of outsourcing become
overshadowed by governmental
pressures and rising offshore
outsourcing costs?
Industry specialists, who have been
scrutinizing the pros and cons of
Few years back several outsourcing
specialists prognosticated that cost
savings would no longer be the major
advantage of outsourcing due to the
increasing cost of living and
technological advances. But the
monetary woe brought on by the year
2008 to 2009 pecuniary crises has
made the whole notion of cost saving
even more important. With the
economic recovery still unsure cost
saving remains the prime reason for
outsourcing to India?
Core Business Activities Will Be
More Focused
Upcoming trends in outsourcing points
to the vital change of focus from the
outsourcing of non-core services to the
core business functions. Most
businesses, with a remarkable number

of SMEs, consider fully outsourcing their IT department,
not only to save money, but also to gain better qualified and
skilled experts to generate high quality solutions.
In India, especially IT outsourcing, is on the mount due to
the profusion of experienced professionals who have the
methodologies, resources and skills taking to create high-
grade results.
Benefits of Outsourcing Smaller Projects
The future of outsourcing will be observing rise in the
outsourcing of smaller projects. Although bigger
organizations will continue to outsource huge projects to
prime service providers, there will be an expansion in
smaller buyers, looking for pliable and specialized smaller
providers to support them in realizing newer business ideas.
This advantage of outsourcing will be more relevant to
entrepreneurs, who spent several years observing from the
sidelines and those who want to benefit from the
outsourcing action.
Outsourcing of smaller projects will succor companies,
specifically those looking outsourcing as a way to resurrect
their businesses as the economy rebounds. Outsourcing to
India will also continue to grow due to a gush in smaller IT
service deals from initial buyers.
Exponentially Outsourcing and Cloud Sourcing Will
Grow and Merge
Industry specialists who have been noticing the advantages
of outsourcing and cloud sourcing prognosticating that
cloud sourcing will shortly merge with the existing
outsourcing market and give better opportunities for the
whole outsourcing industry. In general, businesses are
pushing towards cloud solutions for various reasons like,
scalability, pliability and cost savings, outsourced IT
services will necessitate for exodus of existing
infrastructure and services for making them cloud enabled.
This prime advantage of outsourcing will be convenient for
infrastructures supported by cloud resources as well as
other small outsourcing providers.
Furthermore, outsourcing is awaited to increase drastically
in the coming years. It is just because globalization which
inevitably links the world’s economies leaving no room for
individualism. Organizations will not be able to meet
several challenges; they come-up with relying
independently on their own internal resources but will have
to look further for more cost-competitive and reliable
sources. And this is where outsourcing and various profits it
brings with plays an extremely valuable role.

Q. How IWORKTECH has contributed for innovative
technology in a current IT space?
The fast pace of today’s world brings with it many
distractions and less time to relax. It’s easy to forget what
your body needs. Luckily, the very mobile device that
sometimes acts as distractions can also be used to promote
healthy living.
These mobile apps can help you track and improve your
personal health metrics. The best part is that most of these
can be used on the go-even when you are sleeping.
IWORKTECH has developed a platform which allows one
to build app on Andorid and iOS easily. The platform is
developed using Xamarin.
Recently using this platform IWORKTECH has released an
application for a lifestyle company based out of S. E. Asia.
Q. What were the main considerations you kept in mind
while introducing Xamarin?

While developing the platform IWORKTECH the major
considerations were Enterprise Mobile Application, Mobile
Software Development Life Cycle, Mobile testing.
After a lot of research on various tools, platforms and
environments available in the market, Xamarin was
selected. Developing a common platform, and also
releasing apps in the different domains, has helped
IWORKTECH to build a mature Xamarin development
unit.
According to you, what are the challenges of Enterprise
Mobile Application?
Since the last decade Enterprise Mobile Solutions are
experiencing increase in: Maturity, Security, development
and testing complexity, scalability of the solution itself,
Support various types of devices, Maintenance of
application, Support of new release of the Oss, Response
time.
Mobile Enterprise Application - Requirements
Mobile Software Development Life Cycle
A lot comes into play, even when you develop a small
single app. In this you need to develop the application,
release it in the market place, and gather users experience
and response. Additionally, you need to keep on adding new
features, new capabilities so that the user’s interest is
maintained and you can continue to have market leadership
and remain ahead of your competitors. Also there is a
challenge of supporting various devices that keep on
coming in the market.
This life cycle needs to be supported in the mobile
application. We found that Xamarin provides us an
environment which is secured and can integrate with the
backend system easily.
Xamarin’s cross-platform development environment allows
us to create rich native applications by keeping large
percentage of code common. It allows us to achieve the
following:
Q. What challenges you faced in Mobile Testing and
how do you address those?
With mobile quality challenges such as device
fragmentation, app complexity, fast release cycles, and high
mobile user expectations, it becomes very difﬁcult to
monitor the user experience and quality of a mobile app.
Embracing new innovations in apps and quickly evaluating
compatibility and quality requires adopting a mobile testing
solution with access to the latest hardware and software
from a variety of vendors. With the help of Xamarin Test
Cloud we are able to address these challenges.

ith 2.3 Billion active social media users across
Wthe globe - according to 2016 social network
usage report by Global Web Index - it is no
surprise that social media marketing strategy has become an
integral part of every organization’s marketing plan.
Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Pinterest,
Instagram, Tumblr, Myspace, Blogs… you name any social
media channel and you will ﬁnd organizations trying hard
to engage with their target audience to promote their
brands. Almost every day, we witness organizations’
coming up with innovative marketing campaigns to engage
with their target audience in order to build a strong brand
presence and drive higher sales.
In this age of digital connectivity, customers welcome these
engagements with open arms and to some extent even with
open pockets to interact with brands and drive higher sales.
Hence, organizations are witnessing fair amount of success
from these campaigns. However, customers’ expectations
from these social media interactions are not just limited to
purchase transactions. They turn to social media channels as
a means for instant resolution for the product or service
problems they are facing. Customers view these social
media channels in a far greater role of an instant and
transparent customer service desk.
Today’s generation believes in instant gratiﬁcation and they
expect resolution to their product/service related issues
immediately. No longer are they content with the traditional
channels of resolution like helplines, FAQs, or support
emails. They are not ready to put up with automated and
delayed responses. Consumers are looking for immediate
connect with their product/service providers and expect a
more personalised resolution of their issues. Failure to
respond to the customer in a TIMELY and PERSONILISED
manner can be devastating for your brand and can lead to
huge customer drop off.
It is one thing to use social media for creating brand
presence but it is altogether a different thing to use social
media for customer care. Achieving this balance between
Social Media Brand Awareness Engagements and Social
Media Customer Care Engagements is no easy task. It
requires a sound IT infrastructure in place that can share
information in real-time across business units and various
hierarchies in order to make quick customer facing
decisions. It is this need that has led to the advent of
SOCIAL ENGAGEMENT CRM.
Social Engagement CRM is a powerful CRM technology
that equips sales, marketing and services teams of

organizations with cutting edge social tools to connect with
customers as well as critics and gain insight how they really
feel about your product and services. The popular tools
covered within Social Engagement CRM are:
• Social Listening: Social Engagement CRM allows
you to harness the power of social media to identify and
assess what is being said about your brand, product and/or
services on the social media channels. Social Listening will
enable you to spot trends, identify key inﬂuencers and
receive alerts on how people feel about your business.
Accordingly, one can make informed decisions and drive
sales and service conversations more effectively.
• Social Analytics: With Social Engagement CRM, you
can gain valuable insights about your customers and target
audience previously not available. Traditionally
organizations were only able to
get demographic insights about
their customers like age,
gender, geography, marital
status etc. but with social
analytics tool, you are exposed
to a plethora of personal
insights on social media. You
can now get to know about
your customers likes, dislikes,
sentiments towards your brand.
Using this information you can
now customize your products
and offerings as per customers’
expectations and further do a
personalized service delivery to
convert negative sentiment to a
positive one.
• Social Engagement: With
social engagement tools,
engage and interact with your
customers, brand advocates and
brand detractors on social
media. Improve your social
media presence by engaging
with social communities with
rich multimedia and drive end-
to-end customer experience by
creating CRM actions from social posts. Build deeper
relationships with customers by engaging with social
communities on Twitter or Facebook and other popular
social media channels using your corporate or personal
proﬁles.
Key Takeaway - Make sure to create the right balance
between your Social Media Brand Awareness Engagements
and Social Media Customer Care Engagements. This is no
easy task and do not think twice before seeking external
professional help to achieve this balance. At Tectura, we
help organizations to build a strong Social Engagement IT
infrastructure, powered by Microsoft Dynamics CRM, to
create the perfect balance but at the end of the day it’s the
culture within an organization which maintains this balance
for the years to come.
