One of the most pressing challenges facing virtually every organization over the next five years will be around deciding what to outsource, what to keep in-house, who to partner with and how to deploy resources accordingly.
With the first generation of ad hoc outsourcing deals behind us, it’s time to look beyond traditional, reactive outsourcing to embrace a strategic approach that aligns sourcing with business goals.
The Gartner Outsourcing & IT Services Summit 2006 analyzes and explores the next frontier: disciplined multi-sourcing. It’s all about maximizing value, mitigating risk, and optimizing resources across a portfolio of service suppliers and in-house departments, resources for the optimal delivery of IT services and business processes, via a traditional or offshore approach.
The Summit is an unparalleled concentration of outsourcing and service expertise, presenting all-new research, case studies, keynotes and market analysis. The program is tuned to each level of outsourcing experience, so no matter where you are in the outsourcing cycle – setting strategy, negotiating contracts, managing existing relationships or what service you are looking for – IT infrastructure, IT applications, BPO, Offshore – you’ll come away from the Summit with solid best practices, new ideas and approaches for a changing marketplace as well as strategies and tactics for acceleration.
In thirty-two sessions across six tracks, we’ll roll up our sleeves to address the critical drivers of multi-sourcing strategy, win-win contracts, the best delivery models, relationship management and much more. Plus the Gartner Keynote, and three pre-Summit Tutorials to make sure everyone’s up to speed.
Outsourcing is too important to leave results and careers to chance. Join us at the annual Gartner Outsourcing & IT Services Summit and drive your plans forward with confidence.
