Add Canada To Your Outsourcer Shortlist

摘要

In addition to the growth of interest in outsourcing to emerging markets such as India, businesses are also looking to opportunities in the North American IT outsourcing market, which will grow from $93.8 billion in 2000 to $159.6 billion in 2005, according to a recent report from research firm Gartner. An emerging beneficiary of the growing interest is the Canadian outsourcing industry. Canadian out-sourcers have won a recent string of contracts, mostly from Canadian insurers seeking to cut costs to help cope with the economic slump. U.S. companies that have been looking offshore also may want to consider the benefits of outsourcing IT closer to home. These include proximity, cultural similarities, inexpensive labor, and a favorable exchange rate.
