Although the traditional Infrastructure Outsourcing (IO) revenue decline trend is predicted to be slow, suppliers must develop new strategies to grow their businesses, according to Growth of Infrastructure Management Outsourcing (IMO). The report is one of a four-report series that provides a comprehensive examination of the IO market trends and dynamics.
“We will continue to see steady growth of IT infrastructure outsourcing, but the predictable continued cannibalization of the traditional model in favor of IMO solutions will compel suppliers to decide which IO model is most appropriate for their businesses,” said Ross Tisnovsky, Vice President of the Institute’s ITO Research Group. “Traditional suppliers can slow down the adoption of IMO by expanding their traditional model offerings to take advantage of offshore labor arbitrage or compete by adopting key aspects of the IMO model that might jeopardize prospects of pure-plays but allow the IMO market to expand faster.”
