Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 16 page paper discussing current trends in IT outsourcing. Outsourcing was born of situations just short of desperation, and was looked on in many ways as being less than desirable. The idea of turning over control to essential internal operations to any outside entity often was seen as being foolish. It opened the organization to risks associated with giving outsiders access to company information. Outsourcing not only is “respectable,” in many cases it is highly profitable. For many, it has become another tool for management to use to achieve the greatest degree of internal efficiency possible. India currently is the most attractive place in the world for Western outsourcing, but there are indications that workers will not tolerate current conditions – such as working during US and UK business hours – forever. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

still need to have persons with that expertise and knowledge on staff to oversee what the outsourcing supplier is doing. Outsourcing was not
