The new project is called the Polish Outsourcing Initiative (POInt) and was established by Baker & McKenzie, Cushman & Wakefield, Hewlett-Packard and headhunter company Russell Reynolds Associates. POInt is to concentrate on outsourcing services and will provide its services on commercial terms. "We want to use the synergy of our four companies to provide investors with required solutions," declared Marek Rosinski from Baker & McKenzie. The companies expect a flood of customers. "Our research show that 20% of companies have already decided on outsourcing to new EU member states and a further 20% intends to do so. We expect a huge increase in investments in outsourcing within 2-3 years," added Richard Petersen of Cushman & Wakefield Polska. (Puls Biznesu, p 7) E.B.
