NEW YORK, NY, Mar 07, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) —
The outsourcing community needs to communicate to government at
every level the positive and necessary role of outsourcing in our
country’s economic recovery. When President Obama proposed to “stop
rewarding businesses for taking jobs out of the country and start
rewarding them for bringing jobs back home,” outsourcers were
presented with serious challenges. What impact will the current
anti-outsourcing stance of this administration have on you? Can
outsourcers depend on the administration for assistance in driving
innovation that will create skilled jobs here in the United States?
With changing global economies, how can outsourcers forecast which
processes and services are best kept offshore and which should be
moved back home?
On Tuesday, March 20, 2012, from 12:00 – 1:00 ET, OI will sponsor a
roundtable webinar on the changing political implications of
outsourcing. Selecting the right outsourcing model — offshoring,
nearshoring, or onshoring — for each sourcing endeavor is key to
ensuring economic benefits and securing tax advantages both at home
and overseas.
To help U.S. businesses understand how to make appropriate sourcing
decisions, our panel of experts will delve into the distinctions
between offshoring, nearshoring and onshoring. Attendees will learn
why choice of venue is particularly urgent in certain categories,
such as IT and BP outsourcing.
In the wake of President Obama’s speech, the discussion will take a
necessary look at the potential beneficial or detrimental
implications to the U.S. economy of outsourcing vs. offshoring. Says
discussion moderator and OI CEO and Founder, Frank Casale, “While
outsourcing has been attacked in previous election cycles, this time
around it seems real. Many of our members are rightfully concerned,
and if you are a buyer or provider of outsourcing services, you have
every reason to be.”
Featured experts include:
— Vaughn Hovey, former Nationwide Insurance AVP and chief sourcing officer, Ohio State Fisher College of Business lecturer
— Michael Mensik, partner, Baker & McKenzie LLP
— Monty Hamilton, CEO, Rural Sourcing, Inc.
— Eric Clemons, professor, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania
