Outsourcing to India
As a growing number of companies seek more centralized and less expensive methods of processing information, they are turning to offshore outsourcing to fulfill many of their business and human resources processes. Given India's success in building a significant share of the offshore business process outsourcing ('BPO') market, a significant portion of the data is now being processed in India. Recently, there have been allegations that call center employees based in India have stolen data outsourced to Indian service providers.
