Outsourcing CAD to India? Here’s the Ultimate Vendor Test
Yes, OK, you’ve located a good CAD drafting vendor in India, you’ve sent trial assignments, you’ve got a good response. But how do you know that you’re not just dealing with a very small shop, because this would mean no service when someone there is on vacation for whatever reason.
The solution: take four or five days and visit the CAD vendor’s office in India (we get such visits on a regular basis). Meet the top decision-makers in person, look at their facilities (which version of AutoCAD or MicroStation are they using? How many CAD drafters do they have? Are there engineering CAD or architectural CAD assignments on the monitors?), see how international they are and gage their interest in your business.
Budget around $4,000 for this very effective exercise.
See you soon!
