Welcome to the March 2007 issue of Offshore Insights. We continue to track the Services Globalization industry to provide you with the latest news, views and trends that shape the way services are purchased, delivered and managed around the world.

In this month’s white paper, we look at how forward-thinking companies can build agility into their DNA by creating a virtualized services supply chain. Dubbed the “Futurized Corporation”, the report articulates a way for companies to quickly adapt and change based on current, and anticipated, business conditions.

The Futurized Corporation
By neoIT The Futurized Corporation is the one who is able to seamlessly stitch together component-based global services from different providers, interwoven with its own operations, in order to achieve the highest degree of agility in their operating model. Such an organization will keep its vision, strategic execution and core competencies in house; these three building blocks will be the sources of competitive advantage for the Futurized Corporation – beyond them, all functions in the value chain can be outsourced and done better by others.

Lifecycle Series Part III:
The Sourcing Phase

By Atul Vashistha
CEO, neoIT
In my last column I wrote about the second phase in the services globalization lifecycle: planning. The next phase in the lifecycle is the sourcing phase, the actual building of the organization’s global operations presence. The difference between a successful global sourcing experience and an unsuccessful one often lies with the planning process or choice of service provider. To make the optimal provider selection, an organization must follow five steps.
