Just saw a new Twitter via Geoff Livingston about a Wikinomics post about Worldsourcing.

Defined as:

• Truly global scale. Worldsourcing companies have no single corporate headquarters
• Porous corporate boundaries. Worldsourcing companies have porous corporate boundaries – meaning they manage a portfolio of “internal” (same owner) and “external” (different owners) resources in most aspects of their work.
• Across all business functions. While some business leaders have managed global scale and porous relationships in one or two key functions (e.g., manufacturing and software development), Worldsourcing companies take this approach across all business functions – including marketing, product development, sales and customer service.

Wow, I couldn’t be more excited about how well this defines Flatsourcing, Inc. We are truly a global company and Worldsourcing is our enterprise model. A partnership between teams in Russia and the US with customers worldwide. I don’t think I could define our company better.

Think Flat, Think Worldwide.

Vinny Lingham, CEO of Synthasite was kind enough to share his thoughts on working with Flatsourcing.

As all global IT companies Flatsourcing faces factors that used to be difficult parts, but not in modern age! For example what if your company has several offices? Our company has two major offices in New Orleans (US) and Kazan (RU), not counting cities where other friendly development and management staff members are located.

What we do to stay connected like we’re in one company? We use IMs, web-cams, desktop sharing tools and social networks a lot. It probably becomes so common where you know about your own friend more not from sitting in same office room, but through facebook, for example. So knowing each others habit, birthdays, etc. is not a problem indeed! BTW recently have created flatsourcing facebook, and so we now have a fan club!

The main thing about having multiple offices is that each office has to have core staff, somebody who’s managing it all and unites the company offices! The info on the core staff of flatsourcing company, who’s managing its all aspects has been recently updated on the flatsourcing about page.

The sweetest part about our long successful global IT company experience is that just like we unite our company’s multiple offices, we’re also able to use those techniques with our partners and clients, so that we work with them just like they are part of our team (or we are part of their team)! And we really like to work with professionals! So everybody, let’s cooperate, and benefit from globalization, outsourcing, rather than suffer from it’s high competition factors!

Hello Everybody!

After logo redesign I realized that the whole site design seems too dark and colors are not so pretty as logo has. So I applied more bright color scheme, used some components of new logo, created some icons, formatted blog posts and now presenting updated blog.flatsourcing.com design. Please let me know all your comments on that, I love constructive critics and would be happy to apply your comments!
