WORLD IT CONSORTIUM SUMMIT EVENT

Venue to Be Announced

         

WITC Background
logo.gifThe Internet, standardization, opensource, free trade...all are contributors to an increasingly smaller, albeit more complicated global technology landscape. In today's world, you might as well be working with an individual on the other side of the world as you're working with the person sitting right next to you. Historical barriers: geographic, political, and corporate, are becoming less succinct, less clear. There are numerous budding economies that have emerged onto the world scene each presenting its own unique set of opportunities and challenges.

To help companies make sense of this global conundrum, Onshore Technology Services has formed the World IT Consortium, a worldwide network of information technology service providers whose goal is to help companies harvest the benefits of global technology outsourcing while minimizing the associated risks, costs, and start-up cycles. The World IT Consortium (WITC) is comprised of technology vendors from all over the world who have adopted processes, procedures, and communication protocols as part of a common IT Governance and Portfolio Management Framework designed to proffer the distinct advantages of each region. This arrangement is of tremendous benefit to companies who would like to harvest the benefits of offshore outsourcing because it reduces the upfront discovery, procurement, and ramp-up costs inherent to offshore engagements.

Value Proposition

  • If you're thinking about outsourcing or if you aren't sure of how to make outsourcing IT effective, here is an event, which in 24 hours, will provide the information you need to make intelligent outsourcing decisions.
  • As part of the event, you will meet face-to-face with outsourcing industry practitioners who can share best practices in the selection and ongoing management of outsourcing partners with you.
  • Once the sessions answer your general questions and provide you with some useful management frameworks, you and your management team will have direct access to senior executives from some of the best outsourcing companies in the world. This provides you with the chance to ask them the tough questions and to do some comparative shopping.
  • Thus, within a narrow window of time you should be in a position to make informed decisions about how best to leverage global outsourcing to help enable your information technology efforts and with whom to partner.
