Today, I\u2019ll be reviewing a whitepaper entitled \u201cDemystifying Sourcing\u201d from Patni.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss updates on Procurement &amp; Supply Chain, Subscribe here!<\/p>\n<p>The title of this whitepaper may be a little deceiving as it doesn\u2019t really get into the sourcing process as a reader of this blog may expect. What it does do is explain the fundamentals of outsourcing.<\/p>\n<p>While the content is rather basic, I did find the paper written in a very easy-to-understand manner. If you are just getting into exploring outsourcing, it really has some concise, valuable coverage of the basics included. Here are a few highlights:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The whitepaper gives definitions of terms like sourcing, outsourcing, captive sourcing (having a service performed with employees), shared services sourcing, offshore sourcing, near-shoring, and global sourcing.<\/li>\n<li>The whitepaper compares the benefits and challenges between captive sourcing and outsourcing<\/li>\n<li>The whitepaper compares the benefits and challenges between offshoring and local sourcing<\/li>\n<li>The whitepaper addresses five myths associated with offshoring and outsourcing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, while basic, the whitepaper does cover some things that managers responsible for making make vs. buy decisions absolutely must know. If you think that this type of knowledge can help you, you can download the whitepaper from Patni\u2019s site. No registration is required.<\/p>\n<p>Have a whitepaper you\u2019d like me to review?
