\"Canadian<\/a>Canadian companies have come under increasing pressure to lower their cost structure.<\/p>\n

On top of having to keep up with productivity improvements among our trading partners, Canadian firms have to deal with the dramatic strengthening of the dollar – which lowers the cost of imports and challenges the pricing of our exports.<\/p>\n

We’re going to be looking at strategic sourcing in a session on Monday June 16 at The Canadian Telecom Summit<\/strong><\/a>. In addition, CP Gurnani, the international operations president of Tech Mahindra<\/a>, a leading global outsourcing firm that focuses on the telecom space, will be participating in a session with the CIO of BT Wholesale to end the day on June 17. Their session will look at how British Telecom has restructured to compete domestically and globally.<\/p>\n
