"When companies outsource to an IT supplier, they open the door to many risks — security, process management, project delays and even loss of vital information," according to webinar co-host Adam Cooperman, Vice President at ConvergeOne and leader of the ConvergeOne Program Management team. Therefore, the webinar also emphasizes how combining strategic sourcing and program management helps to ensure that IT enables the efficient execution of business processes across organizations.

Webinar co-host David Pastore, Director of IT Strategic Sourcing at Source One, added, "This topic is particularly relevant today with IT groups managing business processes that were previously completely foreign and supporting technologies that are totally new to the organization."

ConvergeOne Program Management and Source One Management Services often partner to meet customer needs, including providing education and training. The recent webinar was presented through NACR, a ConvergeOne company, and its Center of Excellence for Learning and Development (COE), and is available for free download through the ConvergeOne, NACR and COE websites.
