Security software developer Lieberman software released an interesting research on IT outsourcing company’s client’s satisfaction. It’s not a secret that the main motive for delegating some part or even all IT tasks to an outsourcer is economy of resources, and especially - opportunities for cost reduction. And the survey showed that a surprising 77% of respondents believe that their outsourcers have made up work to earn extra money.
Only 38% respondents claimed that outsourcers had met the cost-saving projections mapped out in contracts. 27% said the deals cost “significantly more than planned,” compared to 11% who said outsourcing actually saved more money than their companies expected. But the huge 77% distrust is really surprising.
