Golf Sponsors In todays environment, a company cannot be expert at all business activities and
processes, from originations through recovery. Most below-prime auto finance com-
panies have to evaluate options to outsource, in-source or otherwise find additional
resources to manage each business activity. In this interactive Session, auto finance
companies and product and service providers share their experiences and insights
as to what functions are best outsourced and how vendor management is most
successfully handled in the below-prime auto marketplace.
