IT outsourcing/ offshoring – what does it mean to you?

 

Krishnakumar Venkataraman asked linkedin members  to define the three words or phrases that spring to mind when they hear the term: “IT outsourcing/ offshoring.”
My response to the question: “no longer relevant”

 

the phrase “IT outsourcing/ offshoring” is no longer relevant because the world of connected enterprises has moved on. People who still talk about “IT outsourcing/ offshoring” need to take a long, hard look at what they hope to achieve from their organisation, rather than how they might simply alter the cost/ delivery model.

How would you answer this question?
