Objective:

To explore how the German fibre industry can leverage outsourcing and offshoring to optimise costs, enhance operational efficiency, and accelerate go-to-market strategies by tapping into the rich pool of economical, scalable engineering talent available in offshore locations such as India. This roundtable will examine various processes—ranging from design and permitting to as-built updates and network monitoring—that can be effectively managed offshore to reduce expenses and address the scarcity of skilled labour domestically. Drawing parallels from North American practices, the discussion will aim to identify best practices and strategies that can be adapted to the German context, ensuring that companies can maintain competitive advantage while managing critical and non-critical functions effectively.
