Scoping It Out

What's the real story behind outsourcing, who's doing it successfully, and who are the companies that provide these outsourcing services?

More and more companies are choosing to outsource tasks like payroll, benefits administration, and IT functions, among many others. Some have even decided to outsource their entire training division. They've done their calculations and determined that business functions that don't contribute to their bottom line should be farmed out completely. For them, it's simply a matter of holding down costs by outsourcing high-volume drudgery – thus freeing their company to focus on core competencies. They prefer to be lean and mean.

Right now, outsourcing is one of the hottest topics in corporate learning circles, but there is still a lot of uncertainty around the key players who offer and take advantage of outsourcing services. To help cut through the myths and misunderstandings about outsourcing, we've compiled a one-of-a-kind research report that offers a high-level look at the history of learning outsourcing, explains how and where it's being accomplished right now, and points out where it's headed in the future.

Outsourcing the Training Function is packed with in-depth case studies and success stories, extensive profiles of outsourcing vendors, and the specific, real-world advice executives, consultants, analysts, and professionals need to understand before considering a full or partial outsourcing strategy. The report details the key players in the space and breaks down the arguments for and against outsourcing. It compares the results that are possible with the results that are often promised – and lets you know what kind of results you can really expect. The report is packed with insider tips you should know before you contact a potential vendor or make a proposal to your CEO. It's the most current and comprehensive research on outsourcing available, and it's only available from Brandon Hall Research.

Take a moment to download the complimentary executive summary of this groundbreaking new report that distills everything you need to know about the emerging outsourced learning marketplace. It's a wide-angle look at the state of the industry and why it matters to companies struggling with training issues.
