The updated model follows a 70:15:15 global delivery model, as compared to the traditional 70:30 one
Under the new approach, 70% of the work will be delivered from offshore locations, 15% will be delivered through on-site local
workforce and the remaining 15% by deploying resources at clients’ premises in on-shore locations

1,000 American workers in the state by the end of 2023
