April 2008: Ascent participates in London's OutsourceWorld
Ascent Software has participated for the third time in London's OutsourceWorld. Considered the premier pure play business trade platform for the outsourcing community, OutsourceWorld facilitates commerce between buyers and sellers across the globe.
Touted as the largest event in the sourcing field, OutsourceWorld London is now in its seventh year, having drawn on past experiences to place top level executives face-to-face with exhibitors who understand their particular needs and have hands-on experience in delivering solutions and solving problems for like companies.
Ascent joined
forces with two other Maltese software companies to promote Malta as a near shoring destination - a viable destination when compared to those of central Europe. Together, the three companies employ some 300 IT professionals - a young and dynamic highly skilled workforce that is competitively priced when compared to their UK counterparts.
Managing Outsourcing in an Age of Globalisation and Innovation was the title of the conference which ran parallel to the event. Speaking from firsthand experience was Stephen Hand, Group IT Director of the UK-based shipping firm Lloyd's Register who presented a well received case study on End-user Innovation - Multi sourcing in Lloyd's Register. Lloyd's Register has used Malta for much of its work.
