Argea’s New White Paper on Assessing Outsourcing Readiness in Mid-Market Companies Published Online at Outsourcing Venture
White paper will examine the 12 key elements of outsourcing readiness and the unique success factors for mid-sized companies.
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) August 11, 2005 –- Argea today announced the
publication of Assessing Outsourcing Readiness in Mid-Market Companies in
Outsourcing Venture’s special online section on solving mid-market challenges in
outsourcing (www.outsourcingvenutre.com/midmarket). The white paper
addresses the key elements of achieving organizational readiness in mid-market
companies for onshore, nearshore or offshore outsourcing. The paper is the most
recent in a continuous series devoted to outsourcing in mid-market companies
that Argea publishes in the print magazine and online portal of Outsourcing
Venture, formerly known as OutsourcingCentral.com.
There is growing
evidence that most companies have one or more serious defects in their
outsourcing implementation and management that are preventing them from
attaining the full advantages which outsourcing is designed to deliver. Ram
Iyer, CEO of Argea, said, “These defects are usually caused by a poor state of
readiness to begin outsourcing. In most cases, skill, resource and knowledge
shortages are to blame and these are especially common in mid-market companies.
With the right guidance, however, these companies can meet and even exceed the
outsourcing performance of larger companies.”
Companies in this market
sector have been generally underserved, both by outsourcing providers and
specialist advisors that can successfully guide them through the outsourcing
lifecycle. Mid-sized companies face at least a dozen unique challenges compared
to larger enterprises and it takes specialized understanding to help these
companies to successfully adopt and use outsourcing as a competitive tool.
“While outsourcing can uniquely solve business challenges and create
competitive advantage, it comes with risks. The information presented in Argea’s
Outsourcing Readiness white paper presents crucial risk-mitigation information
and strategies for successfully achieving anticipated return on investment,”
said Kathleen Goolsby, editor of Outsourcing Venture magazine.
Outsourcing Venture is devoted to providing insight into outsourcing and
is committed to bringing the most timely and informative intelligence to the
outsourcing community. Additionally, the company’s leaders are keen to transfer
essential outsourcing knowledge and competency into the mid-market, which has
been overlooked in outsourcing education. “We are pleased to have Argea as an
alliance partner and proud to publish another Argea paper with strategic content
that is exactly what buyers of outsourcing services need to know,” stated Paul
Grim, founder and publisher of Outsourcing Venture’s magazine and online
portal.
