The are still dependent upon one source for their major outsourcing task, which could proved to be risky in long term."
"What report shows at first glance is that companies are good while negotiating terms and conditions with their outsourcing companies for providing reliable outsourcing services, however, they are still not putting much use of their resources in finding out better options for planning and management of multiple outsourcing relationship, " he added.
"You can plan well and negotiate better terms and conditions if you plan your multiple IT outsourcing business. This will also help you to understand outsourcing industry closely. In many cases, we have found that outsourcing business relationships have been jeopardized due to misunderstandings, workloads, non-commitments of outsourcing service providers.
