| Abstract: | Information Systems /IS/ managers know that outsourcing has become a way of life for many companies. Cost is often the driver in outsourcing, but smart shoppers know that picking the right outsourcer is more complex than just comparing price. IS managers point to several criteria that are key to making outsourcing decision: knowledge of your business, flexibility, technology leadership, scope, industry expertise. Case stories of each factor are presented. Some important outsourcing vendors are identified, and some specific products are described briefly. The outsourcing market will jump from USD 10 billlion in revenue to an estimated USD 26.5 billion in 1997. |
