ITS AN EXCELENT BOOK!!!!!!

ITS ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS REGARDING IS/IT INSOURCING, HIGHLY RECOMMENTED!!!!!!!!!!

Required reading for MIS professionals

This book is absolutely dead-nuts on, explaining in plain English, so even Dilbert's pointy-eared boss can understand, the facts and fictions and cost pressures of the typical outsourcing arrangement. As I feel when reading many of Scott Adam's cartoons, I kept wondering when these authors had worked for my company--how did they know was going on so accurately? Their clear explanations of figuring if an outsourcing makes any sense (MIS people are dense at financial concepts, I know I am), but their simple charts and NPV explanations helped me through the tough parts. Chapman and Andrade know their history, and they explain why we're all going to relive it. Read it before you have to relive it too. I'm ordering an additional copy for my boss. (He doesn't have pointy ears--yet, anyway!)
