Comments on "Happy About Outsourcing"
- The mantra is “focus on what you do best and partner
to do the rest.” -- Don Tapscott. He has authored 10 books on technology
in business and society, most recently (co-authored with David Ticoll), “The Naked
Corporation: How the Age of Transparency Will Revolutionize Business.”
- "No
longer is 'globalization' just a reference in Webster's New World dictionary,
but an energy depicting a paradigm of many changing aspects of world economies"
-- Patrick Yam, CEO & Founder, Sensei Partners, LLC
- "Outsourcing
gave us round the clock coverage where the sun was shining, with well-trained
individuals having excellent IT experience." -- Dr. Marguerite Raaen, Director
of Information Systems, National Cancer Institute commenting on her results while
she was at IBM.
- "Versant would not have survived
the 90s without the outsourced/offshore development center—the local R&D costs
were simply too high." -- Nipun Sehgal, CEO, Enlighta Inc., Ex-VP Engineering,
Versant Corporation
- "Everything worked in
our favor-—we didn’t have the soft cost of another body at another desk. Our Company
turned into a 24-hour operation with the time difference-—it was like having someone
work the night shift without having to foot the overtime bill." -- Mike Faith,
CEO & President, Headsets.com, Inc.
