Summary: This book presnets a logical approach to outsourcing IS
Review: The two most important concepts I came away with from this book were: 1) You should apply some logic to any outsourcing decision, and 2) You should only outsource what you understand completely today. The author presents a mathematical formula that, although complex, helps the reader to understand how to make decisions for the organization on outsourcing IS. Although there are some good principles presented early in the book, about half way through most readers will be lost by the indepth mathematical formula's. Understanding what you are outsourcing is the most important point. Most organizations today believe they can outsource IS and the problems will go away and costs can be reduced. This is not the approach one should take to outsourcing.
