Today marks an exciting day in the development of HfS Research as a global advisory analyst organization – we have selected<\/a> sourcing and software PR and communications specialist\u00a0<\/em>Gutenberg to orchestrate our global research communications to the Americas, European and Indian markets. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Why this is meaningful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Gutenberg's CEO, Harjiv Singh… beaming after the HfS tie-up<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Communicating what global sourcing is all about to real business people<\/em> is broken.<\/strong> We believe that the biggest problem with the sourcing industry today, is a broad failure to communicate the challenges and\u00a0opportunities\u00a0posed by global sourcing to mainstream business people. Accountants, technologists, procurement specialists, operations experts and so forth did not go to outsourcing school and likely never will. \u00a0Most of today’s providers, advisors, analysts, academics etc are so wrapped up in their own vernacular that they end up marketing and talking to each other<\/em> as opposed to the people who really matter: \u00a0the buyers. \u00a0Our goal at HfS has consistently been to cut through the jargon and explain to business and IT professionals what global sourcing is all about. \u00a0To do that, we need to take our insight and get it to the broadsheets, the politicians, the lobbyists, the investors, the big business media.<\/p>\n

This partnership will tackle the communication challenges of sourcing in a coordinated global<\/em> fashion.<\/strong> Gutenberg is entrenched in the sourcing industry and understands the core industry communication challenges. \u00a0In addition, they have prominent teams in India, in addition to the US and Europe. \u00a0Much of the heartbeat of the sourcing industry is\u00a0emanating\u00a0from India, with a feverish media industry – and their issue has often been to get the issues discussed globally. We believe our combined global teams can work together to change this dynamic. With the growing HfS presence in India and Europe, in addition to the US, we believe this is an ideal partnership to bring together the global story.<\/p>\n

We have also invited Harjiv Singh (CEO, Gutenberg) to contribute to our blog to drive some lively discussion on the core communications issues\u00a0plaguing\u00a0our sourcing\u00a0industry\u00a0today. He can get away with saying anything with that smile \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
