Rural Outsourcing
Rural community leaders need to recognize the opportunities the global economy offers and how they can fit into it.
'Onshore' outsourcing is an emerging industry for rural communities. Rural Sourcing Inc., a start-up founded and largely funded by Kathy White, former chief information officer for health care giant Cardinal Health, is a good example.
Rural Sourcing Inc. has set up two facilities in Arkansas, has another center coming on line in New Mexico, and are in talks to open yet another facility in North Carolina. Rural Sourcing Inc. offers low-cost, high quality information technology services at 30%-50% cost saving, while supporting Regional Economic Development.

Today people can decide where to live and bring jobs with them. Many people are either moving or considering moving into rural communities because of quality of life issues and the high cost of living in America’s larger cities. This trend will create new opportunities in rural communities.
Today, services such as Information Technologies (IT), customer relationship management (CRM), payroll services, shipping, etc. can be performed from anywhere in which high-speed internet service is available.
