About webinar
2020 studies show the return of cost reduction as a core benefit of outsourcing for business. In the face of the economic crisis caused by COVID-19, it can be expected that this outsourcing trend is likely to reign supreme for the next two or three years. In the latest white paper, entitled “How IT Outsourcing is Becoming the New Normal”, Comarch explores the reasons behind this tendency, as well as the most popular outsourcing methods, top destinations and much more.
In this roundtable discussion, the statements and statistics presented in the white paper will be compared with the opinions of experts who deal with IT outsourcing every day. The meeting will be hosted by Paula Wąsowska, strategy and innovation expert, Harvard lecturer, public speaker, and business practitioner with 20 years of experience in the ICT industry (Cisco, Dell and Nokia).
