Abstract :
Offshoring IT services has become a key factor in building successful business strategies, allowing companies to gain competitive advantage. Nevertheless, offshoring embeds a brand new set of risks regarding its management. This paper presents a step-by-step method to build a customized qualitative risk model for offshoring IT applications, which, in turn, increases the likelihood of being successful in such initiatives.
