Why You Should Attend

One of the key trends affecting businesses of all sizes is the shifting, or “outsourcing,” of business functions that used to be provided internally within a company to third-party vendors who specialize in the operation and management of such functions. These include data processing and storage, computer applications, network management, customer service, and human resources.
