Current activities

Intellect Offshore Futures Project

In May 2008, the Group launched its Offshore Futures Survey to gauge the views of its members and other key stakeholders on the development of offshore sourcing in the coming decade. The aim is to generate a high quality, high profile, insightful yet balanced white paper on the future of offshoring and its impact on the UK IT industry. The survey will help shape a thought-provoking White Paper, and the industry's understanding of offshoring issues for the next few years to come.

Intellect Sourcing Conference 2009

Intellect will also be running a Sourcing Conference on 22 January 2009. This Conference will bring together a range of experts, including business leaders, media commentators, sourcing practitioners and government figures to discuss the latest trends emerging within the sourcing industry and what this will mean for the future. Further details on the conference will follow click here.
