In a recent series of articles (part 1 part 2), Decipher Information Systems detailed the steps that they went through in helping a client enter into an offshoring relationship. The articles provide an interesting high-level overview of the process and may prove to be a useful guide for executives looking into offshoring IT or technical matters.

While not comprehensive, they represent the basic steps in the process of selecting and engaging with an outsourcing vendor. Thanks to the authors for this great "quick list" of offshoring steps.
