Primary Purpose

The purpose of the Greater Atlanta Area Chapter is to provide a common, open forum for Outsourcing buyers, suppliers, advisors and academia to share and learn about all aspects of Outsourcing. We will advance the knowledge of all members regarding in-sourcing, ITO and BPO; on-shore, off-shore, and near-shore; from RFI through contract renewal and renegotiation. Our open access and collaborative approach will allow us to identify opportunities and circumstances that we encounter, and share best practices to achieve success and promote innovation. n

IAOP Chapter: Atlanta
Inaugural meeting to be held August 30, 2010
The inaugural meeting of the Atlanta chapter, chaired by Firstsource and Assurant, will be held on August 30 from 6:30 to 9:00 pm at the offices of King & Spalding in midtown Atlanta.
In addition to the formal chapter launch and introduction of the chapter Governance Council and charter, the meeting will include the following key topics:
- Chapter Charter
- Organizing upcoming events
- General Session Presentation& Discussion
- Current and prospective member “meet and greet” networking reception
The evening will be highlighted by an engaging discussion led by Monty Hamilton, CEO of Rural Sourcing who will discuss a new, emerging “hot spot” for outsourcing – the United States. That’s right; the United States is stepping up to become the new kid on the outsourcing block. Just as foreign car manufacturers looked to low-cost labor in the South to gain an advantage, outsourcing within the US a cost competitive alternative to the offshore option. Mr. Hamilton will share insights on global macro-economic trends that are driving this new movement, as well as, documented cases of how US businesses are reducing costs and staying onshore.
