Business leaders in companies ranging from startups to the Global 2000 struggle continuously with pressures to deliver affordable, quality solutions for their organizations. With companies looking to cut costs, more and more are deciding to outsource their needs offshore. When they do, there are literally thousands of service suppliers in dozens of countries vying for their business.

For the executive making the decision, the options can seem overwhelming. Should one opt for tried-and-tested but relatively expensive nations such as India and the Philippines, or are cost-effective but less established countries such as China and Vietnam a better choice? Do you bring them to you for training, or send your trainers to them? Do you work only with tier 1 firms or should you reach out and evaluate the sometimes overlooked, but better qualified tier 2 firms? Should you send trusted executives to manage them, or should you seek out capable local partners and leave everything in their hands?

During this seminar you can expect to answer these questions and more:

• Uncover the trends in globalization of services, especially, offshore IT services
• Discover a proven methodology to follow as you review your offshore sourcing options
• Map out a process of what to offshore, where to offshore, when to offshore and finally, how to offshore

Join us for a webcast presentation with Atul Vashistha, CEO, neoIT, on Thursday, September 26th, at 1:00 pm (ET). Register NOW!
