Rural Sourcing and Clarkston Form Domestic Sourcing Partnership
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Durham, NC. June 5, 2007
Rural Sourcing, Inc. announces a partnership with Clarkston Consulting that will provide highly
skilled software developers using their proprietary Domestic Sourcing staffing model to support
large-scale IT projects at costs competitive with other sourcing alternatives.
IT executives have the challenge of finding software development expertise at competitive rates
without sacrificing the advantages of local resources. Offshore has the promise of low rates but
carries the disadvantage of having distant resources, making project management and communication
difficult. Domestic Sourcing offers the advantage of proximity, flexibility, highly skilled project
management and communication, along with attractive rates.
Rural Sourcing establishes development centers in close proximity to major regional universities which
have world class Information Systems programs, thus capitalizing on the intellectual capital and
skilled software developers graduating from these institutions. By partnering with Rural Souring,
Inc., Clarkston has access to a new pool of skilled developers enabling an overall lower cost for
their clients. "The lower cost of personnel, combined with local economic development programs, enable
us to offer skilled personnel at rates better than the sourcing alternatives offered by IT consulting
firms in major metropolitan areas," said Kathy Brittain White, Founder and President of Rural \
Sourcing, Inc.
