Atricle Dump - Outsourcing, Offshoring, BPO
How does the world see you? It may not be the way you see yourself. Either way, it's time you find out!Recently I typed my own name into a series of search engines to see how well known I was. Surprise, surprise! I learned in England I am a soccer star with adoring fan clubs and celebrity status, in New Zealand I'm a playwright, author and editor. Stateside I am either a Gastroenterologist in Kalispell, Montana or a gospel singer with 4 CDs to my name in Ohio. Who knew!My point? We need to know how our customers regard us. Is there market clarity or market confusion? Are customers as clear about who we are and what we can do for them as we are? If not, it's our responsibility to send a clear and consistent message about who we are and what's special about us.Be the Best At What

Over the last three years I have heard so much about outsourcing benefits and defects that I think I can write an entire book on this subject now.
First let us start with the definitions
outsource
v : obtain goods or services from an outside supplier; to contract work out; "Many companies outsource and hire consultants rather in order to maintain a flexible workforce"
outsourcing
Paying another company to provide services which a company might otherwise have employed its own staff to perform, e.g. software development.
Most of my views would be based on my experiences and sites I visit often. This particular write-up is more from what I have read on SFGate which is a local San Francisco paper. One of my clients in the Bay Area had once sent a link to me about an article on outsourcing from SFGate. From then on, I have been a regular with this paper. What I like about this paper is that when CNN reports about Iraq Prisoners abuse, SFGate reports on the Ford Mustang turning 40. It is a welcome break to see this. Ofcourse they carry regular news of death and war too.

Point of sale (POS) systems have become part and parcel of every business venture: restaurants, retail outlets, supermarkets, bars, online shopping, mobile payments, or even touch-screen information systems. Businesses still using manual cash registers and account books will be far behind in the race for profits. Electronic management of inventory and sales has become essential for survival in the modern computerized world. Budgets and profits have to be recorded error free and be easily accessible for proper business planning. Getting a POS system is indeed the need of the hour.POS systems basically cater to the retail and hospitality sector with hardware and software cut to their specific needs. Systems for the retail industry will speed up cash transactions and standardize inventory and prici

A cost cutting strategy is very popular in the business world, especially during recession or falling revenue periods. The Business which achieves to maintain the ‘cost leader’ position, has a major competitive advantage. The ability to sustain a low cost position, is a precondition for long term development in any highly competitive environment. To achieve that, a business has to develop core competencies in lean production, which cannot easily be copied by Competition.The use of financial and managerial accounting systems for production cost measurement and control, is a common practise.Profitability monitoring is also enabled by accounting systems. The use of profitability ratios at the organizational level, at a profit-center level, or at the product level, is a common practice which

1) Where is the agenda? A meeting without an agenda is like a journey without a map; it will always waste your time. Once you have the agenda, make sure that it consists of more than a list of words because this is almost useless. The agenda for an effective meeting will provide a complete description of how the meeting will proceed.2) What is the goal? Is the chair seeking an agreement, a solution, or a plan? Knowing the goal gives you head start on participating effectively. Be cautious of meetings that are held just "to talk about something," because this type of meeting seldom accomplishes anything.3) What is my role? Make sure that your participation adds value to the meeting. Avoid meetings where you have a superficial role, such as to find out what’s happening. In

You sound like a piano player in the old days when there were 35,000 piano players playing in the front of every movie theater when they had silent movies. You're saying, 'Who's going to employ all of us now that they have sound embedded in the films?' Gang, we've got brains. There will be lots to do. What's an American company? We do half our business internationally. Does that make us an international company or a U.S. company?Global companies grow globally. Shouldn't India be a little upset that we have most of their software programmers here? Who's making the value judgments here?

He has made some very good points - 1) Creative destruction and 2) Think global. One has to be competitive globally and not locally which in the end means using resources all around the world to get the best products and services at the best price. Creative destruction is a phenomenon which takes place in every industry. All chariot makers lost their jobs, due the emergence of the auto industry. The floppy drive industry is almost dead. Optical media has more dominance and it is a matter of time before the magnetic media completely dies. Every industry goes through this shift and so would the software industry. In the software industry, the market is still alive but to get competitive, the delivery model has changed to a combination on offshore and onsite.
Most of the bigger companies today in the US are global giants and not local c
