Summary:

IT and corporate executives are very interested in offshore outsourcing initiatives for many reasons including reducing costs and improving service quality. But most of them don't consider the cultural issues involved in sending work offshore to countries like India. In his presentation, Mark Kobayashi-Hillary, author of "Outsourcing to India: The Offshore Advantage," will introduce you to India; the major players in the Indian service industry; the reasons why you should utilize India's resources; and whether or not India is the right strategic decision for your company. Offshore outsourcing can be a great opportunity for your organization, provided you are aware of the risks.
