Abstract :
Off shoring IT services has become a key factor in building successful business strategies, allowing companies to better position themselves in today´s highly competitive markets. Nevertheless, off shoring brings to the table a brand new set of possibilities and risks regarding its management and execution. This article presents a method for the elaboration of a quantitative risk model for off shoring IT applications, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of being successful in such initiatives.
