Moreover, a company offering BPO services differs itself with others by putting in new technology or applying existing technology in a new and better way to improve a process and offer benefits to client firm.

Recently, BPO services were heavily hampered by the recession. Post-recession too there is no stop for problems coming on the way of smooth progress of outsourcing from companies in the USA. State legislature in Ohio state of the USA has banned any outsourcing to Indian company. Similar measures are expected from various other states of the USA. The path for India becoming global leader in providing outsourcing services to the USA and other countries seems difficult. Moreover, there are various other issues including of escalated cost and inflation which hamper the growth rate of BPO services in India.

One of the fastest growing segments of the Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) industry, BPO services in India is a kind of delegation of one or more IT-intensive business processes by the companies located outside India. In BPO services, a company in India owns, administers and manages the selected process.

Though Indian software developers are located away from the location of the company's country, still they are being managed by the company. Moreover, offshore software development in India is done fundamentally for the reason that India offers the most cost-effective software development services with its pool of talented software development.

Companies in the USA, Canada, Australia, or the other developed nations are looking to reduce the production cost and for them India serves the purpose as it has extended number of software developers who can offer their services at extremely reduced cost. Moreover, when IT companies see various advantages in their software development to be done in developing countries like India at the fraction of cost of what would otherwise have been if the same would have been done in the original country, the companies try to offshore their research and development work to India.

Offshore software development in India is done for the reason that many of its cities have quality infrastructure and global connectivity as well as immense human capital. Offshore software development often compared with Business Process Outsourcing is different in the sense that while in BPO there is outsourcing of services to third party service provider, in Offshore software development the same company opens its software development center in India at its own cost and hire the software professionals at its payroll.

There is huge conflict in politics and economic of offshore software development. Whereas traditionally countries such as the USA and Canada has never been transferring their technology to India and lose their technological prowess, now through various offshore software development centers in India the same is happening much against their actual wish. While offshore software development in India is economically beneficial for the USA and Canada, it is politically incorrect for the countries would lose the much enjoyed domination in technology front to India.
