the Party Over for Indian Outsourcers?
Evolution
of a Sourcing Strategy: Organizations
typically consider several inputs while
formulating their offshoring road maps,
and selecting an appropriate offshoring
model is one of the key steps in the process.
There are several factors to consider,
including aspects of international business
strategy -- selecting the country, scanning
the landscape and deciding on the sourcing
strategy. Tracing the history of EDS's
foray into India is akin to walking down
the offshoring memory lane. >> (Computerworld.com)

The
book by Mohan
Babu K [Offshoring IT Services: framework for
managing outsourced projects] bridges the gap between
offshoring strategies and execution and delivery
of offshored projects with an analysis of an Offshoring
Management Framework [OMF].
"Offshoring of information technology
is `not an isolated trend but part of a bigger shift
towards the globalisation of business processes.'
This book says the good times are here to stay,
taking a cue from manufacturing. Things never end
up as cut in stone. Every offshoring project brings
in new things to operations management, says Babu,
in conclusion. "People and processes need to
adapt to changes." Useful insights, to help
you offshore." Says Hindu
