Description:  

Morrison & Foerster, in conjunction with the National Outsourcing Association, will be presenting this seminar on Tuesday, July 11th, from 9am to 5pm.

This year's offshoring conference looks at the Offshore / Onshore Outsourcing and the key lessons that have been learnt. Scrutinising the latest trends in the market, the day will aim to educate delegates on the directions of international offshoring - which countries are coming to prominence and which services and processes are destined for offshoring. It will also delve into the impact of offshoring in the UK economy and examine what exactly UK organisations have learnt from their offshoring projects.
