Outsourcing 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.

Legacy enterprise software, like well-known CRM and ERP applications, are moving to the cloud, but new kinds of applications will need to be developed to take full advantage of these computing services, said Amazon’s Web Services chief.
Such a potential shift to new applications poses a threat to vendors of legacy software, said experts speaking during a panel at TechNW on Monday.
Companies like Oracle, SAP and CA are certifying their software to run on cloud services like Amazon’s, said Werner Vogels, CTO of Amazon Web Services. “That doesn’t give you immediately all the benefits like scale and elasticity,” he said. “For that, new apps have to be developed.”
That shift opens doors for new companies to develop services that take full advantage of the cloud but also threatens existing vendors. Vogels said that telecom service offers a good example. For instance, “no one buys their own PBX anymore,” he said. Instead, companies are using cloud-based voice services from providers like Twilio, which uses Amazon.

As websites continue to evolve from static pages to interactive tools rivaling desktop apps, you’re bound to hear more and more about cloud computing. Under the model, your computer wouldn’t need tons of storage or processing power, but would make use of those resources on remote servers and instead act more as a remote terminal. One of the biggest names in software is in the middle of making that move to a cloud-based system, as Microsoft announced the launch of online-based Office 365.
Office 365, scheduled to ship next year, is now available in limited beta form in 13 countries and regions and includes Office Web Apps, Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and Lync Online.
Combining some of Microsoft’s existing cloud-based services, it will be available through most browsers, including Mozilla’s Firefox, Apple’s Inc’s Safari and Google’s Chrome, and can be used on mobile devices such as Research in Motion Ltd’s BlackBerry and Apple’s iPad.
