NEW YORK, NY, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) Softtek, provider of process-driven IT services that increase the business value of Fortune 1000 organizations' application portfolios, today announced that it will be hosting a webinar along with HfS Research, the leading research analyst firm covering global outsourcing and shared services strategies, entitled, "Sourcing to Latin America: A new threshold in global services performance." The webinar will be held on June 2, 2011 from 11am - 12pm EST.
Softtek recently released a cutting-edge report written and produced by HfS, "How Latin America Powers Global Services Delivery." The report focused on the Latin American IT industry and how nearshore vendors provide process-driven services from a close cultural and geographical location. Given the constantly evolving nearshore market, additional questions have arisen from the report and the audience will have a chance to listen to experts discuss some of the most talked about topics. The panelists are: Phil Fersht, HfS Research Founder and CEO; Esteban Herrera, COO and SVP Research, HfS Research; Beni Lopez, Chief Globalization Officer, Softtek; and Mark Hillary, CEO of Brazil-based IT Decisions.
Fersht, Herrera, Lopez and Hillary will be discussing the following questions:
• With global sourcing delivery showing no signs of slowing down across IT and business processes, what we can expect in the coming years?
• Latin American strategies underpin global delivery with increasingly mature services, so what are the region's strengths and challenges?
• How should buyers consider the global trade-offs (i.e., vs. India) when calculating their future sourcing investments?
• How should buyers balance their portfolio of local, regional and global providers?
• How should buyers approach smarter pricing strategies where formulating a global sourcing roadmap?
