velos-IT's Alan Kerr Discusses What Businesses Should Consider When Outsourcing IT and How They Can Ensure Enduring Results

Online, September 7, 2010 (Newswire.com) - (SAN DIEGO, CA) - Business Review Australia, the leading digital business publication for C-level executives, speaks with velos-IT's Alan Kerr about the benefits of outsourcing IT.
