QuEST and Global Services launch a micro-site dedicated to Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO)

PRLog (Press Release) – Dec 06, 2007 – QuEST, a leading provider of outsourced engineering services and manufacturing, and Global Services, the leading global media platform on outsourcing have launched a micro-site dedicated to Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO) at http://www.globalservicesmedia.com/microsites/quest/inde ...

Engineering services outsourcing is considered the next wave in domain specific knowledge outsourcing after IT outsourcing and BPO, and studies estimate the market for such services out of India could grow from $1 billion in 2006 to $40 billion in 2020.

“We noticed that Engineering Services Outsourcing had seen a lot of traction off late, but seemed to lack in awareness because of its specialty. We saw an opportunity here to play a role in filling that niche space with knowledge and were encouraged by QuEST’s willingness to sponsor the initiative. We will endeavor to provide a platform that will engage the ESO community and bridge the existing gap,” said Satish Gupta, head of sales and marketing at Global Services.

Apart from regular news updates on the industry, the ESO micro-site will contain research articles by industry analysts and consultants, and will feature customer case studies. Editorial control rests with Global Services. The micro-site will be linked from the QuEST and Global Services websites.

Says Vijay Menon, vice president of marketing at QuEST, the site sponsor: “Engineering services outsourcing is distinct from IT and BPO outsourcing, and QuEST is delighted to support this initiative to create a credible and independent forum where all the stakeholders—buyers, sellers, analysts, consultants, and industry observers—can meet to exchange notes and gather information on ESO.”
