Are you charged with turning your company's offshore development mission statement into reality? Or do you need to learn more about offshore development and how it might alter your company's future strategies? Then you need this book. While offshore development offers many advantages -- reduced cost, access to highly skilled talent, around the clock development and ability to launch projects quickly -- there are challenges. As McKenzie Consulting points out, "Without disciplines in managing offshore, a company can, not only squander the cost and time savings it had hoped to gain through them but can also face other problems -- late deliverables, escalating costs, mismatches between expectations and deliverables and even outright failure." GE and HP are among the hundreds of companies that boast highly successful offshore strategies. On the other hand many companies have either failed or are marginally successful. For example, a large document company tried a major development project offshore and abandoned it. A Silicon Valley company tried to execute a development project offshore, failed and had to bring it back and get it done at considerably higher cost than if it had never gone offshore in the first place. To be successful, you must effectively identify and address issues across companies, time zones and cultures. You need to move rapidly in this highly competitive environment, but you also need to move with maximum confidence. This information-packed book, based on a decade plus experience and best practices of many successful companies, will help you maximize benefit and minimize risk. Reading this book can save you money and time? and may even save your job.

Majoreconomicupheavalscanhavethesortofe?ectthatSchumpeterforesaw60 yearsagoascreativedestruction.Inscienceandtechnology,equivalentupheavals resultfromeitherscienti?crevolutions(asobservedbyKuhn)ortheintroduction of what Christensen calls disruptive technologies. And in software engineering, there has been no technology more disruptive than outsourcing. That it should so quickly reach maturity and an unparalleled scale is truly remarkable; that it should now be called to demonstrate its sustainability in the current ?nancial turmoil is the challenge that will prove whether and how it will endure. Early signs under even the bleak market conditions of the last 12 months are that it will not only survive, it will ?rmly establish its role across the world of business. Outsourcing throws into sharp focus the entire software engineering life- cle. Topics as diverse as requirements analysis, concurrency and model-checking need to ?nd a composite working partnership in software engineering practice. This con?uence arises from need, not dogma, and the solutions required are those that will have the right e?ect on the associated activities in the world of the application: e.g., reducing the time for a transaction or making the results of a complex analysis available in real-time. While the business of outsourcing continues to be studied, the engineering innovations that make it compelling are constantly changing. It is in this milieu that this series of conferences has placed itself.
