Offshoring information technology

"The decision to source software development to an overseas firm (offshoring) is looked at frequently in simple economic terms - it's cheaper, and skilled labor is easier to find. This book explains everything you need to know to put offshoring into practice, avoid the pitfalls, and develop effective working relationships. It covers a comprehensive range of the important offshoring issues: from RDI to strategy, from SLA to culture, from country comparisons to provider marketing written for CTOs, CIOs, consultants, and other IT executives, this book is also an excellent introduction to sourcing for business students."--BOOK JACKET.
