Security
Framework and Best Practices in Offshore Outsourcing
By Indy Banerjee, Bindu Sudhir and Prabhash Thakur
As organizations embrace offshoring, their
information technology systems and data become
increasingly dispersed. Although this may lower client
costs and add capability, it also raises concerns about
data security. A well-thought-out security program that
balances control and flexibility can be an effective
tool for securing business as well as increasing the
confidence of clients and other stakeholders. This white
paper analyzes and clarifies issues surrounding offshore
security, discusses how clients and service providers
can reduce security risks and outlines best practices in
offshore outsourcing.

A
Rising Tide Lifts All Boats?
By Duncan
Aitchison, Partner & President, EMEA, TPI
The outsourcing market has seen a near
seismic shift over the last two years in the
geographic profile of market demand. No one is
standing still. For the majority of the past
three decades the United States has been the
leading buyer of outsourced services. In fact,
just five years ago it comprised 66 percent of
the outsourcing contract value. By the end of
2007, this picture changed dramatically. The
United States accounted for less than 30 percent
of the global contract value while Europe led by
50 percent in the same period.
