Randy Altschuler

Randy Altschuler helped pioneer the business of outsourcing. Altschuler devoted years of his life founding Office Tiger, a company that specialized in teaching American companies how to outsource good-paying white collar jobs to India and other places at one-tenth the wages. He has said that “in India, you get a much higher standard of person.”

Altschuler Founded Office Tiger. On August 3, 1999 the certificate of incorporation was filed for OfficeTiger Inc. with Altschuler as one of the three initial directors.  OfficeTiger was acquired by RR Donnelley and Sons in 2006, Altschuler remained on with the company until sometime in 2007.  [Certificate of Incorporation, OfficeTiger Inc, 8/03/99; Fec.gov]

Office Tiger: Work “Can be Performed Overseas Just as Effectively and at a Lower Cost.” One of OfficeTiger’s clients said that “OfficeTiger is based on the idea that many of the professional support services required by U.S. investment banks, law firms and other businesses can be performed overseas just as effectively and at a lower cost.” [Metropolitan Corporate Counsel, 11/06]

Office Tiger Paid “Roughly a Tenth” of What Jobs Would Pay in U.S. In their Indian offices, Office Tiger paid “roughly a tenth” of what would be made for comparable work in the United States. [New Yorker, 7/05/04]
