Abstract

From the Publisher:A common practice involving enormous sums of money, outsourcing is paying a third party to take control of one of a company's functions and then "sell" the service back to it. Prominent IS community members warn of the dangers in surrendering complete management control of their strategic assets. The key question is not "should we outsource IS?" but "where and how can we take advantage of the rapidly developing market of IS service providers?" This book provides answers to the question based on extremely detailed studies of six successful insourcing companies.
