Offshoring’s Insurance Policy 
By Brian Tumpowsky, neoIT

The ability to offshore and tap into a global network to help
improve a company’s cost basis and operational performance is a tangible, real
option for many companies. Yet, the complexity inherent to services management,
and the risks involved in offshoring services have prevented many companies,
including half of the Fortune 500, from considering this approach (despite the
lure of lucrative cost savings). Fortunately, there are products and services
now in the market to help companies take advantage of offshoring capabilities
while minimizing the risk in these types of arrangements.
