While price is always an important consideration, there is clearly a need to take other factors into consideration to have a chance for executing a sustainable deal.  No other industry would accept even the most optimistic satisfaction percentages that are found in public outsourcing industry reports. (PRWeb Feb 1, 2006)</P>
