Countries Raked by Attractiveness - Global Services Location Index (A.T. Kearney, 2019)

"
- Globalism is alive and well in information technology outsourcing, business process outsourcing, and voice services
- While India ranks number one, the inclusion of digital resonance metrics shrank its lead and gave advantage to onshore locations such as the United States and United Kingdom
- Automation and cybersecurity are changing the outsourcing landscape...
...The GSLI has traditionally identified locations that can best provide information technology (IT), business process outsourcing (BPO), and voice services based on countries' Financial attractiveness, people skills, availability, and business environment. The 2019 GSLI, however, includes a new digital resonance category to capture the effects of digital transformation, especially automation and cybersecurity, on the global services landscape.
