6th Sense Analytics to Host Webcast on ``The New Rules for Strategic Software Outsourcing''
MORRISVILLE, N.C. --(Business Wire)-- 6th Sense Analytics, Inc., a pioneer in automating software development metrics, will host a webcast discussing "The New Rules for Strategic Software Outsourcing." Free-of-charge and open to the general public, this webcast will provide organizations engaging in offshore development projects insight into the proven methods, frameworks and key processes required to make this model work. The 60-minute webcast is scheduled for Sept. 27th at 11:00 am EST and will feature some of the leading experts in global software development, including:
-- Tom Koulopoulos, president and founder of Delphi Group, and author of the book Smartsourcing: Driving Innovation and Growth through Outsourcing
-- Stuart Donovan, CTO of GlobalLogic, one of the largest global software development services firms
-- Todd Olson, CTO of 6th Sense Analytics, Inc.
While offshore development was once reserved for tactical and discrete functions, many companies are now looking to offshore service providers as strategic partners in the full software development lifecycle. Organizations have evolved from simply outsourcing so-called "non-core" functions to outsourcing product innovation itself. However, according to recent Delphi Group research, while 70 percent of organizations see outsourcing as strategic to their growth, 40 percent of organizations are dissatisfied with the results. This webcast will help organizations reconcile this disconnect.
"Shifting strategic functions offshore requires radically different processes and procedures from yesterday's approaches," said Tom Koulopoulos, founder and president of Delphi Group. "Leveraging offshore talent to turn out breakthrough product innovation faster, cheaper, and better than ever before requires proven methods, frameworks, and key processes. Anything less creates a climate of risk."
Case study examples will provide registrants practical tips about how distributed Agile-based methods can be effectively employed. Following the webcast, all registrants will receive a complimentary advance copy of "The Next Generation for Software: How Globalization and Sourcing are Creating a New Playbook for Software Development," by Koulopoulos.
