USourceIT is not a legal entity. It is simply a group that is created to facilitate self-service sourcing. There are no controls in place to ensure the quality or credentialing of either the "buyer" or the "seller", USourceIT relies on self-governance. While outsourcing makes good sense, organizations, particularly SMBs (Small to Mid-Sized Businesses), simply maintain status quo. Either they cite lack of expertise in managing off-shore engagements or perceived quality issues to not engage in off-shoring. To a large extent, their fears are justified. When outsourcing the projects, the overhead gets accented as procurement and sourcing decisions have their own components of fixed costs. The lack of a well-established Service Provider network that deliver project-based offshore solutions adds to procurement costs, often negating the benefits of outsourcing. Management issues leading to gaps between expectations and delivery. Businesses are not adept at managing global sourcing for smaller projects. The sheer number of projects with a large pool of smaller outsourcers makes the job of connecting the “right” provider with the projects extremely challenging. Having web-site consolidators like UsourceIT leveraging LinkedIn provides an efficient mechanism to implement small-project sourcing. Guidelines: 1. Post only projects that you are interested in getting bids. 2. Evaluate sellers if you are a buyer, and evaluate the buyer if you are a seller. 3. Post comments on the success/failure - this helps future buyers to select better sellers, and sellers to decide whether to bid or not. 4.
