About Us

Established in 1999, Mivar Press is an independent, full-service publisher that specializes in providing cutting-edge business- and technology-oriented content to the business community and the world at large. In particular, we focus on topics such as:

• Global sourcing and offshore outsourcing
• Enterprise software (SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft)
• Service Oriented Architecture
• Software as a Service
• Web 2.0 - Internet-enabled business models
• Business process management and platforms
• Mobile and wireless business processes, technology, and infrastructure

Mivar Press was created on the premise that the business and technology publishing industry is rapidly changing. Managers, professors, and students want the following:

• More up-to date information on emerging technologies and their business implications.
• Syntheses of multiple concepts rather than a repetition of raw content available through search engines such as Google.
• More real-world example and case study-driven books based on actual events rather than hypothetical concepts.

Mivar Press aims to tackle relevant and timely issues. Our first title in 2004 is on the controversial topic of offshore outsourcing. Offshore Outsourcing: Business Models, ROI and Best Practices by Marcia Robinson and Ravi Kalakota cuts through the hype and provides a balanced analysis of the offshore outsourcing mega-trend.

Mivar Press' next title, Mobilizing SAP : Business Processes, ROI and Best Practices, offers insight into how managers of leading firms are leveraging mobile technology to extract more value out of their SAP investments.

Mivar Press' recent title, Global Outsourcing: Executing an Onshore, Nearshore and Offshore Strategy, offers insight into how managers of leading firms are cutting costs by creating a portfolio model to outsourcing. They are using a hybrid or blended approach of onshore, nearshore and offshore to lower overall cost structure and improve flexibility.  This integrated outsourcing model being called resource virtualization.

Mivar Press aims to publish two to three titles every year. If you are a prospective author who is looking for a new way of publishing, we encourage you to visit the Authors section of this Web site.
