Trends in IT Outsourcing
[ send me this paper ]
A 16 page paper discussing current trends in IT outsourcing. Outsourcing was born of situations just short of desperation, and was looked on in many ways as being less than desirable. The idea of turning over control to essential internal operations to any outside entity often was seen as being foolish. It opened the organization to risks associated with giving outsiders access to company information. Outsourcing not only is “respectable,” in many cases it is highly profitable. For many, it has become another tool for management to use to achieve the greatest degree of internal efficiency possible. India currently is the most attractive place in the world for Western outsourcing, but there are indications that workers will not tolerate current conditions – such as working during US and UK business hours – forever.

A 9 page paper discussing Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows XP for Riordan's upcoming network operating system upgrade.

Though the Vista system (Longhorn, Windows Server 2008) ultimately will provide greater functionality, it will not be available as anything but Longhorn Beta 3 until early 2008. Judging from Microsoft's past performance it will take at least two years for the Windows Server 2008 to become as reliable and predictable as the company claims it is.
