CMP Media's TECHXNY (http://www.techxny.com/) announces the addition of OutsourceWorld, the first global gathering of the outsourcing industry, to its conference program. TECHXNY, which will be held September 15-18, 2003 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City, is a full week of business and technology conferences, tutorials, special events, and expositions -- including New York's technology icon, PC EXPO, and the inaugural NETWORKS For Business New York Conference & Expo.

OutsourceWorld brings together global service providers and key influencers, decision makers and buyers from the USA and Europe. The event's producers have pioneered the networking of these groups in the last three years with their OutsourceWorld UK conference and expo.

"It is a quantum leap for the industry and for OutsourceWorld to partner with the USA's leading technology event, TECHXNY," said James Freeman of OutsourceWorld. Leading outsourcing service providers from India, Russia, Ukraine, Canada, Australia, Romania, China, Philippines, Egypt, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, USA and Argentina are key supporters of OutsourceWorld.

Outsourcing has become a multi-billion dollar industry over the last decade, and is forecast to continue seeing strong and consistent growth. In the face of ongoing pressure to reduce costs and increase productivity, many companies are either outsourcing or looking to outsource products and services.

Companies offering software development, design, communications, back- office systems, call center services, payroll, data-entry, technology support, customer service, sales operations, and administrative functions are all poised to build their success on the strength of the outsourcing phenomenon. In addition web development, system integrators, accounting, HR, data processing, email response and handling, CD and DVD production can also profit from outsourcing.

OutsourceWorld at TECHXNY/PC EXPO will also feature a general session (on date and time), open to all registered conference and expo attendees, entitled "Outsourcing: Friend or Foe?" A panel of experts on both sides of this controversial issue will debate the financial benefits of outsourcing for a company's bottom line versus the impact of sending jobs overseas.
