Title:
This can't-miss event will feature a panel of industry experts in hot debate about the future of the outsourced IT marketplace:
Some industry pundits believe that consolidation of the highly-fragmented outsourced IT market is inevitable " that the smaller IT shops that serve small business and residential customers will soon be gobbled up by larger global managed service provider companies. On the other side of the equation is the viewpoint that the smaller outsourced IT companies will not only persist, but prevail, because larger organizations cannot offer the same "personal touch" that the smaller, regional providers do.
