Captive Center: A Strategy to Tide Over the Crisis

An offshore captive center may have just gone from “good to have” to “critical to survive” in these times. A “managed captive center”  gives you the best of two worlds: cost cutting while retaining control, in the long term.

Since 2000, zCon has been providing a Managed Captive Center service for many clients around the world. The experience has helped develop both the skillset and mindset to help you transition a part of your operations seamlessly and reliably to another office on another continent.

Once you have decided to transition, our well-designed  “workbook approach” jump starts the operation.

zCon’s Plug and Play Infrastructure

The “plug and play infrastructure” feature in our service makes it a quick start. The three key elements: space, IT infrastructure, and talent come bundled as a white-labelled package under our managed captive center service.  You can customize it almost immediately and create your center.

Captive Center Setup Basics

Captive center requirements that we can provision almost immediately are:

1. A secure physical infrastructure in terms of operating space that is isolated and secured for you. We have modular spaces in zCon premises that we can quickly dedicate and secure for you with access and ID cards, with exclusive access to your staff only.
2. IT infrastructure as per your specs and secure and configurable internet and network connectivity as per your needs, by our IT team.

Your independent unit can be up and running in the shortest possible time, backed by our operational platform which is very efficient and tried and tested.

Accelerated Hiring

As a next step, we offer accelerated hiring for you with our recruitment engine. With access to a large talent pool that we tap into, we can procure the right talent quickly. The HR and hiring processes, ND agreements and legal requirements are taken care of by us, after you interview and select the candidates. We can also tap into our existing pool of people and assign them exclusively for you.

The ramp up is one of the fastest you will experience.
