EVENT OVERVIEW

Large Midsize and Fortune 1000 enterprises are increasingly making global sourcing decisions, yet continue to ask the question, "How do I make it work?"

China Outsourcing Summit, a Gartner Vision Event, is designed to help enterprise IT and Business Decision-Makers answer this and other critical questions on the increasingly complex global multi-sourcing environment - including nearshore and offshore services.

China is currently taking on the global Information and Communications Technology (ICT) industry in a big way. Its goal is to develop leading worldwide brands across the entire ICT spectrum: hardware, software , telecommunications, semiconductors and sourcing.

China offers a massive low-wage and increasingly skilled workforce. And while there are literally thousands of Chinese ITO and BPO companies, outsourcing to China is relatively unexplored territory for most enterprises. Which is why we are inviting CIOs, Sourcing Officers and Outsourcing VPs from midmarket to FORTUNE 1000 companies to join us in China.

The on-going management of global sourcing options is one of the most difficult competencies facing IT and Business Executives today. Through Gartner insight, industry panel discussions, and Case Study Presentations by Service Providers, we will explore practical examples of how organizations approach and implement their sourcing strategies.

At China Outsourcing Summit, 120 pre-qualified IT and Business Executives from large midmarket and Fortune 1000 companies, leading Service Providers, Gartner analysts, and other industry experts will examine governance models, knowledge management, and relationship models that work effectively with nearshore and offshore sourcing.
