Today at my work I started my first project with outsourcing for a client we need to process a lot of content and we decided that it would be best to do that processing in India.
The first step was to contact the business representative of the company in India, I sent him a e-mail about a request for proposal. He phoned me back in about 2 hours, which was pretty impressive considering it was 19:00 in india. The representative spoke English fluently, like I expected. The only thing that was a bit annoying was the phone connection: there was a lot of noise.
Anyway, I briefly spoke to the representative about the project and we agreed that I would send him the specifications and that he would make a quote based on those specifications. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to translate the specifications today, so I will continue tomorrow.
