Avantica’s brief about Peru development that provides information about education and other topics as well.

Matt Perez’s extremely entertaining and informative Flash movie about near shoring (although we’re not in agreement with the last 30 seconds or so as we think Costa Rica is an equally viable choice for California).

A Total Cost of Engagement tool from Scio. The tool is helpful for understanding the costs of outsourcing although the actual costs for any one project may of course vary.
