Enterprise-led. Practitioner-supported.

Your enterprise owns and operates the GCC from Day 1. Collabera provides deep embedded advisory and execution support — legal, talent, workspace, compliance — during the critical setup phase, then steps back as your team takes full control. The most common model globally, representing over 50% of GCC setups.

Speed to Operational

Enterprise is operational in 4–6 months. Collabera's playbooks compress timelines that typically take 9–12 months independently.

Compliance & Entity

Full legal entity formation, regulatory registrations, transfer pricing, and audit framework — delivered under your brand from Day 1.

Embedded Talent Advisory

Collabera talent team runs leadership and anchor hiring alongside the enterprise — not as a vendor, but as an extension of your TA function.

No Service Delivery Obligation

Unlike BOT, Collabera does not operate the GCC. Your team runs it. We assist setup and exit on a defined timeline.

Location & Workspace Strategy

We shortlist, negotiate, and configure your workspace — managed, flex, or enterprise-leased — with IT and security built-in.

Modular Engagement

Pick what you need: legal only, talent only, or full-stack assisted. Engagement is scoped to your gaps, not a fixed package.
