The Future of Information Outsourcing

October 19, 2005

Offshore outsourcing of content processing is nothing new in the information industry ??? indeed, bread-and-butter legacy content conversion may be approaching the end of its lifecycle.  But as the infrastructure for content services outsourcing matures along with larger trends toward globalization of production, information content providers are examining new opportunities further downstream in the value chain. 

This Brown Bag session will look ahead to the future of content and application outsourcing in the information industry.  How are supplier capabilities evolving?  What has been the experience of information providers who have adopted aggressive outsourcing strategies?   What new models are emerging?  Can outsourcing confer sustainable advantage, or has it become ???table stakes??? for information providers? 

A leading information industry analyst/consultant will explore these issues with both suppliers and customers of outsourced content services.Moderator:
