With the rapid advances made in telecommunication and information technology, the world is shrinking everyday. The available technology is helping businesses across countries to outsource various jobs from low cost locations. Earlier, outsourcing was limited to labour and only routine physical jobs were outsourced. But now a days, it is basically the services, which need huge back office processing or 24 hours attention, are outsourced. As these services are enabled by Information technology, these are called IT-enabled services. There are various types of IT-enabled services like Call centres, Customer service management, Data entry/data conversion, Medical transcription, Back office processing, content development, Animation, Engineering Design, Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Data mining, etc. Call centres offer jobs as executives who would receive customer calls, answer them and record the necessary details about them. Customer service management centres offer jobs as executives who receive customer queries and complaints and offer advice and services. Data entry/data conversion/ data mining companies offer jobs to data entry operators and database management professionals. People trained in Medical transcription get jobs in Medical transcription organisations as transcriptionists, supervisors, and editors. Back office processing services companies need data entry operators and experienced office assistants. Content development companies offer jobs as content designers, content developers, and content managers. Animation designers and persons trained in visual communication design get jobs in animation designing firms whereas CAD/CAM designers get into Engineering designing consulting firms.
