Other outsourcing industry professionals including Mary Ellen Mitchell, director of global procurement solutions at Office Depot and Michael W. McDaniel, senior executive director of procurement services at Accenture will co-present with Trowbridge. Mitchell and McDaniel will speak to the benefits of outsourcing.
