What happened to outsourcing?

Posted by Steve McQueen PM | on Sat, 27/08/2011 - 12:15 2320 51 comments | report

I was unable to sleep last night and spent a few hours going through my old files and papers for the want of something better to do.

Amongst my stuff I found a conferance program from 2005 that predicted that paperless and outsourcing were the future of practice in the UK.

The paperless bit seams to have been adopted - allbeit in a less paper way, rather than the complete paperless office approach - but outsourcing seems to have died a death.

Is anyone still outsourcing? How many tried it?
