CIBER Vendor Session:
“Seven Deadly Sins and Virtues of Outsourcing”

Tuesday, May 20, 2008 (Maryland B)
2:00 – 2:30 p.m.

Let's get real about outsourcing - and discuss the sins to avoid and the virtues to pursue when outsourcing IT applications or infrastructure. CIBER will present its perspective based on real life examples culled from its 35-year history in the IT business. Mark Perlstein, President of CIBER's IT Outsourcing Division, will answer crucial questions, such as: How much money can I really save? How much flexibility can I get from my vendor? How important are SLAs? How do I negotiate a win-win contract?  Attendees will leave with advice, information, and lessons learned from practical experience-not theory!-that they might not otherwise receive from outsourcing vendors.
