• In an increasingly fragmented and competitive marketplace, how do I stack up against the competition?

• When should I use consultants and integrators, and who should I use?
• What should I outsource, and to whom should I outsource?
• What are best practices for successful outsourcing?
• What are best practices for contracting with a service provider?
• What are best practices for managing a service provider relationship?
• How can service providers help me better use my IT dollars?
