Leveraging The Follow-The-Sun Model To Optimize Your FSP Solution

In the contemporary interconnected landscape of global business, where enterprises strive to deliver continuous services, support, and operations to a diverse customer base, the Follow-the-Sun (FTS) business model is gaining prominence. This strategic approach empowers organizations to function 24/7 by harnessing resources across various time zones worldwide. At its core, FTS involves seamlessly transitioning work and tasks across different geographic locations as the sun rises and sets, ensuring the smooth flow of business processes without interruption.
