This event will deliver survey findings of TIGA members on their preferences for outsourcing development work. The study, conducted by brothers Rick and Nick Gibson, showed that more than 60% of respondents have outsourced in the past and 95% stated their intention to do so in the near future.
There will be a panel discussion with developers who have experience of outsourcing and offshoring, followed by a similar panel of key outsourcing suppliers. The final session will use panel and audience participation to draft guidelines for outsourcing, to be contained in the TIGA best practice handbook.
TIGA is a British trade association launched in March 2001 to represent the business and commercial interests of games developers not controlled by publishers.
