Dear reader,

Firstly, thank you for visiting the ValueNotes Sourcing Practice blog. It’s your contributions and vibrant discussions that keep us going, and help us understand the state of sourcing today!

If you’ve been a regular on our blogs, you would have noticed the many changes to our navigation and content. Until last week, we had separate blogs focusing on e-learning, publishing, research & analytics and legal services outsourcing. As time moved on (it’s been a year now!), we realized the value in cross-linkages, and in communicating with our audiences together.

So while once we were four, we are now on one platform, bringing you, our peers in the outsourcing sector, a consolidated view of the many industry sub-segments. We believe this move will add more value to our discussions, and enable a dynamic cross-industry representation among our readers. To illustrate, while on one end publishers could discuss how e-books can change the market, members from the new media and e-learning segments can also add to the subject and give a more comprehensive view.

I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Jui Narendran, our Practice head, as the newest blogger on The State of Sourcing. She will focus on outsourcing, BPO and IT research, among other segments. We wish her the best for a long and fruitful blogging activity.

We look forward to your continued patronage, and hope to make this blog the number one source for sourcing discussions!

Thank you once again.

Warm regards,

Reetika
