The Fourth Global Sourcing Summit: Sharpen Your Edge
-Collaborate with China, with Xi'an |
| Nov 8-9 2007 China.Xi'an |
| |
Events Detail |
We are living in a new era of global competition. The effects of globalization are far-reaching, especially in the services outsourcing industry, which is in a rapid stage of development. In 2007, customer demand and service patterns in various regions have gradually continued to change.
- Customers are more mature and becoming increasingly knowledgeable about BPO and sourcing.
- Regional needs vary dramatically.
- Traditional service providers are no longer the sole focus of a truly competitive environment. Emerging (hosting) models and other offshore locations (e.g., Brazil, India, Vietnam, and the Czech Republic) are currently factors.
- Requirements for service delivery are expanding and must address both business processes and IT needs.
- The value of service providers is increasingly tied to helping customers reduce operating costs, allowing customers to invest in more important areas, helping customers operate noncore businesses, and enabling customers to focus on their core business.
IDC released the Global Delivery Index (GDI) in July 2007. The GDI used selection criteria, such as rental costs, language abilities, operating profit rates, and so forth, to identify potential sourcing centers in 35 cities around the Asia/Pacific. According to IDC, there are cities in China that are forecast to exceed the leading city in India in 2011 to become leading global sourcing centers. These will be our focus in 2007.
The Fourth Global Sourcing Summit invites global customers and service providers to discuss the evolution of China's service sourcing market and its development for the future. With three consecutive successes, we expect this conference to be an equally useful platform for customers and service providers to communicate ideas as well as to develop business relationships.
