Gartner Outsourcing & IT Services Summit

With cost-cutting at the top of every board agenda, the first two questions on almost everyone’s mind are, “What can we outsource?” and “How fast?”

It’s getting turbulent out there. A recent Gartner survey of European sourcing decision makers reveals the rise of outsourcing in midsize organizations, an acceleration in the renegotiation of existing contracts, and an increased interest in new innovative approaches such as global delivery, remote infrastructure management and alternative delivery models. With outsourcing prices set to decrease in the short term, organizations must learn how to quickly access potential savings – and mitigate the inherent risks.

The Gartner Outsourcing & IT Services Summit is here to help. This year’s theme says it all: Practical Outsourcing - Balancing Cost Optimization with Performance Improvement.

Hot Topics & Keynote Presentations include:

• The European Outsourcing and IT Services Scenario: Insight for a Turbulent Market
Claudio Da Rold, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner and Ian Marriott, Research VP, Gartner

• Multisourcing Today: Techniques for Optimizing Cost Containment and Performance
Management Linda Cohen, VP Distinguished Analyst, Gartner

• Creating a Self-Funded Project to Transform IT
Phil Pavitt, CIO, Transport for London

• Outsourcing Initiatives: Balancing Excellence, Innovation and Cost
Helen Huntley, Research VP, Gartner

• Does the IT Department Have a Future?
Ade McCormack, Advisor, Author and Financial Times Columnist

Invest two days with us for a deep dive into the strategies, tactics, state of the market and players, deal structures and SLAs. A completely new, four-track agenda covers it all – sourcing strategy; the IT services marketplace; vendor evaluation, negotiation and management; business process outsourcing; and global sourcing.

It’s not about abstract theory. It’s about steps you can implement the day you get back to the office. And there’s never been a more critical time for it.
