Many definitions of outsourcing, but it is simply…
Non-core services
From 1.0 to 2.0 Whereas 1.0 focused on low cost, ‘re-badging’, big deals, and little knowledge transfer/retention, 2.0 focuses on value and: More competition, shorter contracts, newer pricing models, selective buying and bringing strategic services back in-house -Ongoing deal management and relationship management -Industry has matured and open to mid-market customers -Multi-sourcing benefits vs governance challenges More US staff in front office -All providers are increasing US front office staff; cost savings of near-shore and on-shore outsourcing have improved in North America and Europe with increased available labor pools at lower rates From SLAs to performance metrics Distinct trend in moving towards ‘performance metrics and OLAs’ away from financial penalty driven SLA’s -SLA’s are more complicated in the multi-sourcing environment -Decreased use of ‘hard’ SLA’s inspired by financial penalties -Threat of lower Customer Satisfaction results (impacting aggregate customer sat for provider and future sales) -Customers want the contractual ability to effect change in the providers operations, processes and personnel assignments Evolving provider landscape The global IT services outsourcing provider landscape is evolving -Consolidations (vertical, size based, footprint etc.) -Providers looking more like each other as the market evolves (offshore providers investing in customer geographies) -Universal standards for provider performance decreasing contract ambiguity -Rise of the Tier 2 providers (brand less important than the team) Technology advances as drivers Providers focus on the emerging technology trends to meet Outsourcing Goals -ITO - RIMO, Virtualization, Cloud Computing -ADM - SOA, PaaS, Saas -Flexible contracts; ‘on-demand’ will be back -Outsourcing acts as technical transformation opportunity rather than like-for-like replacement of providers -Increased focus on application and hardware rationalization SR and political realities Companies offering socially responsible and environmentally friendly solutions are on the rise; Outsourcing (offshoring) deals getting more scrutiny in the era of high(er) domestic unemployment
