Alsbridge has expanded its business to the Antipodes (Australia and New Zealand), setting up offices in Sydney.

Alsbridge provides consultancy services in the areas of outsourcing, robotic process automation and cloud transfer services. The company expects both the Australian and New Zealander outsourcing market to boom in the coming years, as companies looking to save money by contracting out parts of their business processes.

According to its directors, Dom Bower and David Snell, both the Australian and the Kiwi outsourcing sectors are yet to reach maturity. Bower pointed to the local resources boom at the time of the 2008 financial crisis as the main reason for the sector’s underdevelopment.

The boom meant that both Australia and New Zealand were not faced with the budgetary pressures that opened a space for outsourcing as a cost saving resource in countries such as the UK and the US.
