I'm OUTSOURCED! - Risk To be Relevant or Choose to be Outsourced

Speaker(s):
Robert Tipton R.S. Tipton, Inc


Sometimes the best defense is a good offense... That is definitely true related to the issue of outsourcing -- including offshoring. Many IT jobs are in danger of being outsourced -- however, the average IT professional is doing little to prepare themselves one way or the other. Simply waiting for government intervention, or somehow hoping businesses will "wake up and stop doing it" are not good strategies. This session will examine the issue of establishing relevance for one's career, or for an IT department -- so that the issue of outsourcing can be examined objectively and rationally. This is a MUST SEE for all IT professionals concerned about the issue.

By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Calculate personal ROI and TCO.
2. Understand the risk / reward ratios related to outsourcing.
3. Develop a personal success strategy related to outsourcing.
