Re: Is the outsourcing boom over?...There is nothing in the article to suggest that any of To add to Gene's excellent points, and to further muddy the waters, in many cases companies fire one outsourcing provider prematurely, only to immediately replace them with *another* outsourcing provider. At my former employer, a major multinational consulting firm with a large outsourcing arm and significant onshore *and* offshore outsourcing presences, we both gained and lost business this way fairly routinely. My experience is that it is *very* much the exception, rather than the rule, when a long term (five to seven year) outsourcing agreement goes to completion without being significantly revised and renegotiated or terminated outright. In the outsourcing industry, we even spoke of the "three-year itch," as that seemed to be about when customers started getting restless with their providers. - bc -- Barry Campbell <barry -at- campbell-online -dot- com> http://campbell-online.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ WebWorks ePublisher Pro for Word features support for every major Help format plus PDF, HTML and more.
