SANTA MONICA, Calif., Sept. 12, 2000 (PRIMEZONE) -- Dave Nash, Co-Founder and former CEO of Peoplesupport.com, a leading Web-based customer support company, today announced the formation of OutSource Global. The new company uses state-of-the-art networking and communcations technology to address the chronic need for highly skilled programming, network administration and accounting professionals.
OutSource Global harnesses several important trends: the power of the Internet, technological advances in secure networking platforms, significant reductions in telecommunications costs, and a paradigm shift in the way in which people want to work. OutSource Global will match and manage an unlimited number of qualified, home-based workers, and a range of mid-level IT, accounting, design and back-office projects. The home-based workers, or 'Webcommuters,' form the backbone of a totally new model in outsourcing: the Virtual Outsourced Workforce or VOW. The VOW offers companies significant time and cost benefits.
The VOW combines the elements of a staffing company and an outsourcing company with the Internet to provide businesses with cost-effective staffing and management solutions. The VOW will use the Internet as a delivery vehicle to provide a virtual labor force comprised of Webcommuters to companies urgently in need of support.
"As the CEO of a rapidly growing company I was acutely aware of the challenges companies face finding qualified staff, especially mid-level professionals to handle projects. I also noted a fundamental change in work style preferences and quickly recognized that there was an untapped pool of highly skilled mid-level IT, accounting and back-office professionals that wanted to work from home. By using recent advances in secure networking and the cost efficiencies offered by the decreasing cost of connectivity, there is no longer a need for the professional to travel to the work; the work can easily, and most importantly `cost effectively,' be sent to them. Our message is simple -- `There is no workplace like home.'"
OutSource Global supplies it clients with handpicked teams of highly qualified professionals. At the outset, OutSource Global and the client work together to develop a project specification. A team is then assembled from OutSource Global's extensive database of qualified professionals. Unlike other outsourcers, OutSource Global manages the entire process ensuring on-time, on-budget work of the highest quality.
PeopleSupport was founded in early 1998. During Nash's tenure as CEO the company grew to over 400 employees and raised over $80mm from leading investors including Idealab Capital partners, Accel and Benchmark. A proven CEO with excellent operational experience, Nash is credited with pioneering the combination of people plus technology in the outsourcing environment.
