Driving Outsourcing Maturity: The Answer to Economic Uncertainty

In this webinar, our experts will discuss how a recession could impact the BPS industry and how increasing outsourcing maturity could be the defense enterprises need.

What questions will our experts cover?

How does economic recession impact the BPS industry?
Will the impact of this potential recession be different from previous ones?
How does outsourcing help organizations weather economic uncertainties and periods of recession?
What benefits can organizations capture by driving increased outsourcing maturity?
