		<description><![CDATA[Hi all,

I would agree with Arpana regarding the coin game; if you want real benefits from outsourcing then you have to see this like a partnership and not just as a short project that has the only scope of cutting costs.
Reducing costs is important but if you target a minimum of 21%  then you will have to face problems at home: hard to find and retain motivated people and experts in their area. A reliable partner (or more) can take all this headaches and to offer you flexibility and scalability beside the points mentioned earlier.
The only issue is to find the right partner for you and is not whether outsourcing is good or not.

Wish you luck!
