"Can you say outsourcing?



If you're not outsourcing, you're not part of the "in" crowd. Outsourcing,

the term for sending a business function to an outside firm, seems to be

getting as trendy as the Internet, according to a year-long international

study by Arthur Andersen and The Economist Intelligence Unit. The study

finds that 93 percent of the corporations surveyed plan to outsource in the

next three years and the nine out of ten who now outsource are satisfied with

the results. The study was based on interviews with 50 global organizations

plus a survey of 303 senior executives throughout North American and Europe."
