2011 European IT Outsourcing Predictions and ExpectationsWednesday, January 5th, 2011
Judging from the perspective of ITO services buyers, the following trends and changes are anticipated in 2011: 1. An increased demand for outsourced IT services from the public sector. In 1Q 2010, public sector contracts awarded across EMEA stood at over €9 billion and are expected to increase in 2011. In the UK alone, public sector gained a 75% share in the nation’s outsourcing spending, which accounted for 86% of EMEA public sector expenditure in 2010. It is expected that the demand to explore and utilize outsourcing opportunities in Europe will increase due to recent turmoil in such countries as Ireland and Greece as well as economic uncertainties in other EU member states. Governments of economically slow achieving countries will most likely help promote outsourcing as an effective cost arbitrage and quality maintenance tool and will definitely adopt outsourcing on different IT and non-IT related projects.

11 Outsourcing Trends to Watch in 2011Wednesday, December 29th, 2010Outsourcing activity is expected to creep back in 2011, but things are hardly getting back to normal in the IT services space. The new year will be marked largely by upheaval - smaller contracts, cloud-related chaos, increased offshoring and decreased quality, for a start.
Read on for more. It’s not all bad, we promise. 1. Progressive Outsourcing The year will be marked by the inking of smaller IT services deals, many of them by first-time buyers who sat on the sidelines in 2010, say industry watchers. Providers, happy to have a foothold, will push such customers to expand the scope of their relationships over time — the old “penetrate and radiate” approach. Contract activity will “creep back throughout 2011, as the recover stutters and buyers pull the trigger on sourcing activity,” says Phil Fersht, founder of outsourcing analyst firm HfS Research.

Outsourcing, Open Source and Monitoring - an Outlook for 2011Thursday, December 16th, 2010The year 2010 has been one of slow recovery and rebuilding following the economic meltdown, a year in which investment into infrastructure and upgrades was slow and many companies focused on weathering the storm and tightening budgets to reduce excess spending.
However, the year has ended on a positive note as companies have reached the bottom of the curve and are beginning to take a definite upturn in terms of both business and infrastructure spend. During the downturn, outsourcing became a particularly attractive option for many businesses as it enabled access to specialised skills and expertise at a fraction of the cost of keeping these resources in-house. As we move into a more stable economy, this trend will not change, however, as organisations are still wary of hiring internal resources, due to ongoing financial constraints.
