Co-locating with the Software Outsourcing Summit 2004, Russia's largest

risks of the outsourcing. Russia with its experience in multilingual
projects has its own answers to the questions: How to manage your
offshore partner? What are the best tasks to outsource and why? How to
manage your outsourcing risks? The result will be 3 days of dedicated
focus on outsourcing, with special emphasis on how the most successful
companies are making their business with their partners. They will share
their experience with the conference participants through a number of
Outsourcing Localization case studies.

Over 400 clients are estimated for this collaborative event. A three-day
exhibition will give an opportunity for over 20 companies - developers,
providers and suppliers to demonstrate their  translation and
localization products and services in Resource Channel Sessions.
