“Knowledge is key to alleviating those fears,” says Ben Trowbridge, president and CEO of Alsbridge, Inc. “Early planning and a solid strategy will go a long way toward successful outsourcing.”

Alsbridge will host a free webinar, “F&A Outsourcing: Is It Right for You?” scheduled for 2-3 p.m. Eastern Time (1-2 p.m. Central Time) Thursday, November 20.

The program, part of Alsbridge’s Outsourcing Leadership series, will feature Steve Kopp, managing director of Alsbridge who will outline basic steps in making F&A outsourcing successful. The webinar agenda includes:

• Offshoring versus outsourcing
