Event Details
When outsourcing is mentioned, most people think of IT services and perhaps call centers in India. Outsourcing has already trickled down from big corporations to small businesses, which now send everything from complex financial analysis to graphic design to back-end legal research overseas. Many US service businesses now routinely subcontract some portions of their work offshore. An architect designing a residence, for instance, might send drawings overseas to be turned into computer-generated renderings. A product manager might outsource the entire value proposition development offshore. Does this kind of outsourcing pose a threat to analysts, architects, accountants, landscape designers, and other professionals in the US? Are US professionals seeing the tip of a very big trend? Sanjeev Arora, who leverages the outsourcing trend with a leadership position at Pipal Research, a leading custom research firm delivering the highest quality financial and business research and quantitative analytics to organizations worldwide, will address the realities and dispel the myths.
