DonEt heed the siren songs of off shore talent

Article Abstract:

Internet professional services firms in Canada, in order to cut costs and maximize available revenue, out-source non-critical services overseas to known technology centers. Misconceptions and lack of faith in homegrown talent, the companies overlook difficulties which out-sourcing to foreign countries cause. Strong creative vision, client management and better project management with a changed payment policy for contractors, out-sourcing within Canada can be made more cost effective with better final results.

Crunching the numbers on the Web

Article Abstract:

Canadian advertisers are increasingly demanding the third-party audits of Web sites where they buy ad space. The move has been spurred an Internet Advertising Bureau of Canada report which showed that only 20% of Canada's major ad-sellig sites have their circulations checked by third-party auditors. However, some sites are resisting third-party audits because of the added costs and the fact that third-party auditors typically chop off 5%-30% of the Web traffic they reported.
