Data integrity meets knowledge transfer 9:15AM Data integrity is mission critical. But project success also relies on turning your data into a “knowledge transfer” with your outsourcing partners. We’ll discuss the best ways to both ensure data accuracy, and ensure you are transferring useful knowledge to and from all your partners.

The geography of outsourcing: How important is your project’s location? 11:00AM How critical is physical location to the success of your project? Does proximity outweigh purpose, or geography mean as much as specific capabilities? We’ll outline all the variables (e.g., distance, country, equipment, platforms, capacity, and capabilities) you must consider to select the best location of your next project and outsourcing partner.

Putting it together: Evaluating your provider network 1:15PM It’s not enough to measure service providers in isolation.
