THE OUTSOURCING FORUM 2008
Outsourcing in a Global Economy – the impact of economic uncertainty
For many organisations the use of near and far shore outsourcing locations has become business as usual. For others the journey is just beginning. With increasing global economic uncertainty what lessons can organisations starting on this journey learn from other’s past experiences and what should organisations with an offshoring track record do differently.
Key questions that will be considered include:
- How can companies plan a strategic sourcing policy? Hear case studies from top-level industry speakers about their business' future sourcing direction.
- What role can outsourcing play in mitigating the effects of the global economic downturn?
- Assessing the end-to-end contract process - learn from our expert speakers about how to enter, manage and exit a sourcing contract for maximum business benefit.
- Focus on offshoring - where are the latest key destinations and where should you consider basing your offshore outsourcing operations?
- Evaluating ITO - what are the latest trends and what should you look for in the most effective IT strategies? Explore ITO from every single angle with our tailored streams.
- What key changes will take place in the favoured offshore locations? Who will be the winners and loosers?
- What changes are predicted in the types of services being sourced offshore and which services are likely to move back onshore?
- How relevant are the traditional commercial models used in the changing economic climate? What will be the preferred commercial models of the future?
- How will the current economic uncertainty impact existing contracts, and what impact will this have on existing and future governance arrangements?
- How will the anticipated changes in technology impact the provision of services from offshore?
- In addition the forum will review the impact of offshore sourcing on project management, cultural communication and quality of service

There have been companies who have outsourced offshore with varying degrees of success. Some have managed good service delivery at a much lower price. There have been a number of well documented stories of offshoring contracts being brought back home.
