Welcome to Vantage Partners’ brief survey on offshore relationship management.

The purpose of this survey is to understand the challenges customers and service providers face in managing their offshore outsourcing relationships, how those challenges differ from challenges in onshore deals, what cultural differences present significant challenges, how those challenges differ by geography, and what customers and providers are doing to meet those challenges.

AS YOU ANSWER THE SURVEY QUESTIONS, THINK ABOUT YOUR COMPANY'S MOST SIGNIFICANT OFFSHORE RELATIONSHIP IN WHICH YOU ARE SIGNIFICANTLY INVOLVED. PLEASE TRY TO CONSISTENTLY ANSWER THE SURVEY QUESTIONS WITH THAT PARTICULAR RELATIONSHIP IN MIND. IF YOU ARE NOT INVOLVED IN ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER OF AN OFFSHORE RELATIONSHIP, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

Please be as candid as possible. Your individual answers will remain confidential, and answers will be reported only in aggregate.

This survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Thank you very much for your time.
