The 2009 Asia-Pacific Outsourcing Summit, being held 12-13 May,
2009 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in association with Outsourcing Malaysia
and PIKOM, the association representing the information and
communications technology (ICT) industry in Malaysia, brings the
world’s top outsourcing practitioners and business leaders together for
a once-a-year, one-of-a-kind gathering to explore and set the future of
outsourcing in Asia. The Summit will explore and showcase the
critical role Asia now plays in the global outsourcing marketplace. And
while today’s economic slowdown certainly impacts all aspects of
business — including outsourcing and offshoring — there is no doubt
that Asia will be pivotal moving forward. The theme is Outsourcing 2009: Asia’s Role in the NEW Global Economy with major emphases on: • Outsourcing’s emergence as a global business practice and profession. • How exceptional results demand exceptional execution. • The critical connection between cultural ties and global sourcing decisions. • How the most successful firms simultaneously think globally, but act locally. The
Summit is designed to create a forum where outsourcing is discussed
from both global and regional points of view. There are some
significant differences in creating and implementing outsourcing
strategies in the Asian marketplace. We want to explore and highlight
these and learn from those who have experience in the arena to create
customer-provider interaction through joint presentations as well as
through panel participation. The emphasis will be on case studies and
lessons learned.
