On Thursday, February 13, Hamer will present, “Project Management: To Outsource or Not to Outsource…that is the Question!” This presentation will provide valuable insight to industry trends, the pros and cons of outsourcing and tips on how to determine if outsourcing is right for a particular organization.

“In today's challenging economy, retail executives are having to take a more sophisticated approach toward project management, often engaging in collaborative relationships with outsource business partners to create high-performance support operations that keep in pace with industry best practices,” said Paul Hamer, executive vice president of sales, Davaco. “However, some organizations must take a step back and evaluate their project management needs and then determine if outsourcing is the answer best suited to their specific needs. During my session at TheSTORE 2003, I will give attendees the opportunity to learn about solutions that may be able to increase workflow efficiencies, integrate industry best practices, and, more importantly, help boost bottom line results in a soft economy. ”
