Despite a spate of bad press for offshore outsourcing, TPI claims that a record number of outsourcing transactions are currently under negotiation, although there is no accurate breakdown on the balance between onshore and offshore.
But TPI, which is currently advising a quarter of the commercial outsourcing market, believes that 47 per cent of all transactions involve offshoring or "global service delivery".
At the same time last year, offshoring accounted for just 28 per cent of all transactions and the current level appears to represent a new high.
