Outsourcing: India and Beyond Consistently, the leading "hot-button" topic this past year has been outsourcing. The features we ran on offshore outsourcing elicited the greatest volume of letters and passion from readers. * In "Inside Outsourcing to India," we described how outsourcing to India can provide a huge payback--if you're willing to work at it. Two offshore veterans shared the lessons they'd learned to help you determine whether Indian outsourcing is right for your company. http://www.cio.com/archive/060103/outsourcing.html * In a special report called "The Ultimate Cost of Offshore Outsourcing," we looked at the politics (see the story "Backlash"), the people (see "The Radicalization of Mike Emmons") and the money (see "The Hidden Costs of Offshore Outsourcing") http://www.cio.com/archive/090103/index.html 5. Resourcefulness: The CIO 100 Resourcefulness is not just about cutting costs. As 100 companies showed us, true resourcefulness lies in extracting value from all aspects of IT. This issue contains topic coverage, company profiles and a complete list of the 100 honorees. http://www.cio.com/archive/081503/index.html ** The 2004 CIO 100 will honor companies for agility. Watch for an application online in early January. http://www.cio.com/awards/cio100/application.html 6.
