The Many Flavors of Application Software Outsourcing ( Pages)
by A.B. Maynard
Sep 29, 2004 Abstract : Many companies are looking to outsource development and maintenance of their application software.

Choosing whether to outsource or not is a strategic decision for a company. Once a company has decided to outsource, however, it must still choose an outsourcing approach that best fits it needs.
