The highlights of the event were presentations by Oliver Houck of Outsourcing Institute on e-Sourcing Capability Model for Service Providers (eSCM-SP) and Michael Zavileysky, COO of DataArt on client demands from outsourcing vendors. Mr. Houck reviewed existing models and standards of certification, and pointed that eSCM addresses the entire sourcing process and provides a new method to appraise capabilities and guidance for improvement in IT-enabled sourcing services.
