Team of AMR research consultants – Phil Fersht, Mickey North-Rizza along with Ruby Jivan, BP's Procurement Operations Director will discuss about the latest market dynamics in supply management business process outsourcing. Visit the article and registration link for the webcast here A good webcast to attend if you can. I am looking forward to have different perspectives on the supply chain outsourcing areas from industry watchers. The argument that Phil had in his last article about the Supply Chain BPO space getting overheated is still fresh, so need to see if he is getting validated from industry experts.

Recently I had a blog conversation with Phil Fersht from AMR research Supply Management BPO on the verge of overheating He was really having a good point on how the overall supply chain management market is heating up in a BPO space. More and more companies are transferring their supply chain jobs to offshore locations just like a IT support jobs and when there is no real process strengthning the things are failing down the line. He has a valid point there. In a bad time like this people may think that by just moving a job to offshore will save them money what they want right now. But when the job function is tighly coupled with the business process - if companies do not really look into changing the technology, look into the change within, just offshoring will add to the mess rather than helping out.
