The IT Outsourcing Outlook: Fast growth sectors and the leading players

Organisations are increasingly turning to third-party service providers for their ICT infrastructure and application services requirements- IT outsourcing has matured in recent years from providing a solution to a customer’s IT nightmare into a competitive business imperative. It now encompasses a growing range of sophisticated services, from consulting to the outsourcing of entire business processes, with a blurring of the lines between discrete services. As a result, the IT outsourcing market landscape is increasingly complex. Large service providers are now facing increasing competition from not only each other but from outsourcing specialists as an increasing number of deals are being won on a best-of-breed, consortium basis.

‘The IT Outsourcing Outlook: Fast growth sectors and the leading players’ report analyses the market trends, on a sub-sector basis, and identify the vendors that are best placed to dominate in each of them over the next few years. The contents of this report are based on a unique database created on an on-going basis since 1998. It contains in-depth vendor profiles based on executive interviews and independent analyst ratings, and tracks IT outsourcing market trends down to the level of the single contract.
