You'll discover: * A pragmatic, step-by-step guide for setting up and running outsourcing engagements * Proven techniques that will maximize your return on investment and minimize risks * Handy checklists and easy-to-use tools for every step of the outsourcing life cycle * Common offshore outsourcing traps—and tips on how to avoid them Outsource It! tells you how to estimate your potential savings, how to figure out what, how, and where to go—and how to find that vendor magic. You'll learn how to use metrics, reduce turnover, and perform technical due diligence. And you'll never miss a beat, because the checklists will keep you and your project on track. Outsource It! is written by a seasoned technology professional with more than 20 years of experience working all sides of outsourcing. Nick's book takes the lessons he learned the hard way and turns them into an easy-to-read, practical guide for technology professionals.
