Introduction

This piece discusses the possibilities of the Obama administration implementing legislation that could impede the ability of outsourced contact center vendors to deliver services to American end-users from overseas.

Scope
  • The Obama 'Buy American' plan has the potential to worry outsourcers about potentially overly protectionist legislation.
  • However, the political orientation of the Obama cabinet, coupled with the legal challenges of restricting trade make such provisions unlikely.
Highlights

The 'Buy American' provisions included in the Obama stimulus bill could be seen as a move to protectionism, but are unlikely to feed into anti-offshoring legislation.

Reasons to Purchase
  • Learn about the Obama administration's orientation to free trade;
  • Understand what outsourced contact center services may expect from the new US administration.
