Outsourcing World Summit

BY Fast Company Calendar | 02-15-2010 | 7:11 PM

Outsourcing means jobs go overseas, right? Not always. At this Orlando summit, Monty Hamilton, CEO of Atlanta-based Rural Sourcing, will explain how U.S. firms can save by moving work to the South. Rural Sourcing has centers in Arkansas and North Carolina handling IT for firms such as GlaxoSmithKline and Reynolds. It charges $50 an hour for programming work -- only $15 more than a typical outfit in India. "There are no language barriers," Hamilton says, "and we're not 11 time zones away, so we can collaborate with a client in normal business hours." -- TB
