The A-Z of Outsourcing
A Comprehensive Guide to Industry Terms and Concepts
Global sourcing advisory and benchmarking firm, Alsbridge, Inc., today announced a guide that is helping anyone involved in outsourcing understand common terms and concepts in the industry.
“Outsourcing has attracted a huge amount of attention over the past few years,” says Alsbridge Founder and CEO, Ben Trowbridge. “The basic idea is of course very simple - reap the benefits of having a specialist do the job at a lower cost. However, setting up the right deal can be complex and there is a bewildering array of jargon.”
As a result, Alsbridge has written “The A-Z of Outsourcing” to shed light on the main terminology, from ARC’s to Zones and everything in between.
The guide is meant to be comprehensive without being an encyclopedia. However if there’s anything you would like to know which isn’t included, or which isn’t clear you can contact the company at: inquiry@alsbridge.com
