Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the product and billing.
Why Do Enterprises Set Up a GCC Instead of Outsourcing?

To tap specialised talent at scale, retain intellectual property, accelerate product cycles and reduce total cost of ownership—while staying under direct corporate governance.

How Is a GCC Different From a Traditional BPO?

A GCC serves only its parent company and tackles high‑value, strategic work; a BPO serves multiple clients and often handles transactional tasks.

How Fast Can a GCC Scale?

Seed teams of 50–100 specialists typically go live in 60–120 days; mature centres often grow to 800–2,000 employees within about three years.

How Much Does It Cost to Set Up a GCC?

Tier-2 hubs generally deliver 25–35 % lower operating costs than Tier-1 locations, thanks to savings on real estate and salaries.
