Over three quarters of businesses believe offshoring IT is a norm, according to a report from supplier trade association Intellect.
In its Offshore Futures Report 2008, intellect found that 77% of respondents said offshoring of IT and IT enabled business processes was a normal business practice. The survey questioned about 100 people including academics, suppliers, user businesses, and analysts.
"Offshoring has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic influences on UK and global business. For many organisations, offshoring has become business as usual in a relatively short space of time," said the report.
