A Cozy Stable for Outsourcing Vendor Management Professionals

Well, the day has finally come.  The so-called “Mystery Vendor Manager” and primary author here at 360° Vendor Management, has formally joined forces with Horses for Sources, which this week announced its entry into the analyst industry with a unique vision and niche – Horse for Sources is the only BPO outsourcing analyst organization focused on buyers.  This is great news for our readers, as you’ll get the benefit of his close collaboration among a pretty amazing stable of BPO veterans that he has personally have come to know, including Phil Fersht (needs no introduction), Lee Coulter (famously interviewed here, here, and here), and Jason Busch (of SpendMatters fame), in addition to a variety of other deeply experienced outsourcing professionals and analysts that are equally talented.  It really is a great mix of analysts and practitioners.  SageCircle covered the announcement with an objective analysis here.

So, what should you expect?  More frequently blogging here regarding vendor management insights, significant use of social media (podcats, blogs, LinkIn, twitter), some interesting collaboration among other analysts, and, most importantly, the information you need to be a successful outsourcing vendor manager.
