The Bleum Advantage
With a sole dedication to clients in the U.S. and Europe, along with unparalleled quality standards and technical capabilities, it is easy to see why Bleum is the best choice for your IT outsourcing.
1. Bleum in China: Leading the Next Wave of Superior Outsourcing
While other traditional outsourcing locations, such as India, are becoming oversaturated and overpriced, China is on the rise and Bleum is leading the charge.
China is quickly becoming a premier leader in IT services outsourcing. The size and skill of China's talent pool is largely untapped and represents enormous opportunities for both cost advantages and expert resources. As a result, the CHINESE Government is quickly mobilizing and heavily investing in the software services industry in China. China is developing a skilled workforce, providing tax breaks and incentives to software outsourcing companies, awarding grants to service providers who receive prestigious certifications such as CMM, and establishing national schools for software training.
China's focus on technology outsourcing, combined with its expanding infrastructure and openness to the West, is making it the ideal location for American and European clients to find superior outsourcing partners. Furthermore, with China's increasingly significant role in the global economy, outsourcing is a low risk gateway into this flourishing new economy.
2. Nothing Is Lost In Translation: Western Business Ethics, Clients, and Standards Combined with Clear English Communications
Accurate and efficient communications, both through language and culture, are critical to all partnerships but especially for offshore development. With disparate time zones, cultural nuances, difficult technical language, and foreign accents, the ability to communicate clearly and understand expectations is paramount for outsourcing success.
This is where Bleum, which is American owned and managed, completely transcends the competition.
- Bleum understands the nuances, ethics, and expectations of Western business culture
- We work solely with Western clients-this specific delivery model keeps us focused as we are not distracted by other markets in Asia and multiple competing territories
- English is Bleum's official working language and we employ an English Only policy throughout our organization: all employees, at every level and every discipline, can communicate in English
- Bleum has its own, full-time English teachers (trained professionals, not student backpackers) who provide an ongoing English curriculum that is critical to employee career paths and performance reviews
- Our English Only policy is the most popular reason for joining Bleum, as employees are "excited about working in the global marketplace."
Ultimately, our ability to transparently conduct business for Western clients and clearly communicate in English makes outsourcing easier and more compatible with your business. Bleum is a partner in China that you can trust.
3. We Employ Only the Smartest IT Personnel So That You Receive Only the Best Services
For technology outsourcing, success doesn 't require large teams of warm bodies at low costs (as is seen at many large outsourcing providers throughout the globe). Instead, success demands the smartest, most capable experts who can quickly and accurately address your specific issues. Additionally, Bleum is just the "right size", large enough to invest in their people and small enough to focus on each client's needs diligently. When it comes to smart experts and efficient IT teams, Bleum simply blows away the competition.
We employ only the smartest, most capable experts. In fact, a minimum 130 I.Q. is an employment requirement at Bleum. You get intelligent resources who are innovative, extremely capable, and equipped to ask the right questions. As a result, our teams develop creative solutions to the most difficult problems. Moreover, you 'll rest assured that you 'll never be in a situation with a less-than-stellar performer for any of your projects-you always get the "A" team because we don 't have a "B" team. And, lastly, we are not trying to grow at rapid speed or resting on the laurels of an oversized company. Consequently, you get IT teams that are the perfect size and skill set for your specific goals.
4. A Relentless Focus on Quality That Delivers Defect-Free, On-Time, and On-Budget Technology Solutions
While outsourcing traditionally has been a key source for cost savings, with Bleum, outsourcing also is a key method to receive the highest quality technology services available.
We steadfastly hold our employees and deliverables to the strictest standards for superior quality. Our rigorous "zero defects" mission gives our clients complete confidence that they are receiving the highest quality technology solutions as well as exceptional cost structures. For example, in Q4 of 2007, Bleum delivered 26 projects, five of which had zero defects while the remainder had less than 0.01 defects per 1000 lines of code.
Bleum's many quality differentiators include:
- The first CHINESE-based IT outsourcing companies to receive CMM Level 5
- All Bleum Project Managers are PMP? certified by the International Project Management Institute
- Microsoft Certified partner
- A dedication to delivering projects on-time, on-budget, and with no defects
