Using Bamboo's offshore roadmap, Partners can have substantial offshore teams working in a matter of months, and can realize commensurate savings in that time.

whitepaper Practical Considerations for Evaluating the Benefits of a Low Cost Country Sourcing Strategy2009-05-19 CIBER
  Many companies have historically sourced a high percentage of their business to low cost countries and recent data indicates this sourcing strategy will continue in the near future. But is low cost country sourcing still a viable alternative for domestic companies that are looking to improve their bottom line? While there are instances when sourcing to off-shore suppliers will continue to yield savings, the past advantages of following this sourcing strategy will diminish over time. It is imperative for companies to consider all of the financial and risk management factors in determining the best source for new and existing parts and components, as well as understand the overall sensitivity of changes in key cost drivers that could quickly negate any expected savings.

whitepaper Body Shop to Mind Shop: Businesses Look for More From Third Party Consultants2009-05-01 Quocirca
  As budgets tighten, it is even more important for a company's IT function to demonstrate its fit with the business and obtain the best value from all resources and services at its disposal. Simply scaling up by regular recruitment or ad hoc use of contract staff is not always a sensible option. Companies can cover gaps and needs with outside help, but they need trusted partners that can supply transferable business knowledge, as well as offering an extra pair of IT hands. The options for companies looking to outsource some or all of their IT needs have increased as suppliers look for innovative ways to offer software products such as Software as a Service (SaaS) or on-demand and hosted IT offerings.
