Confusion over Outsourcing

News.com clears the confusion over outsourcing in an interview with John McCarthy, VP, Forrester Research. His orginal study, published in 2002, in large part touched off the heated debate over what's come to be commonly known as "offshoring."

"The reports transformed McCarthy into an offshoring guru who was highly sought after by the media. But news stories have at times mangled his analysis. In a recent interview with CNET News.com, McCarthy discussed his frustration with the press and described why businesses, fearing the potential public relations backlash, have stopped talking about their offshoring plans."

"Surveys that we do show that the No. 1 issue is lack of project management skills from the customer to manage the vendor."
