The book examines the current situation and likely future developments in the global services market place. It applies the lessons learned from other industries to the IT services arena. The book recognizes that offshoring is a category of the international trade in services, and a natural development in the ongoing globalization of trade and commerce, rather than a novelty to be feared. It is aimed at an international audience of executives, board level and senior management and at ICT vendors.

Review
A valuable, thought-provoking resource for any organisation working with an IT services budget - whether a provider or a consumer of those services. - Information Age --Information Age
This book maintains the BCS track record for producing high quality, well-researched and extremely readable publications about our industry. It is a tour de force by two highly-respected and widely-experienced practitioners. It traces the development of the globalisation of services, charting that progress alongside the evolution and capability of the technology itself and demonstrating that new business models continue to emerge as the technological capability and global connectivity expand. To succeed in IT, at both the individual and national levels, we have to adapt to the changing world and be ready for the net title of the global playing field to respond with services and capabilities to meet emerging needs. The authors maintain that the UK is almost unique in possessing the right blend of skills to deliver globally sourced services in a multi-cultural world, with the stamp of professionalism and assurance running through them. Our people skills, business acumen, understanding of technology, creativity and innovative approach to business offer us the prospect of being able to level and succeed on the globalisation playing field. Tremendous food for though. (Health Informatics Now - December 2007) --Health Informatics Now (December 2007)

By James Minter
Format:Paperback
This book explores in great depth what Thomas Friedman called the 'flat world'. It looks at the processes of outsourcing and offshoring that are facilitating global services and asks how these trends will develop, along with the general development of information technology. It's a very useful guide to the development of corporate technology that moves beyond just looking at outsourcing alone.
