Perhaps more telling than the rise of small and midsize companies' use of outsourcing is that the levels for large companies remain essentially the same, says a new report by Computer Economics. Small and midsize companies' use of offshore outsourcing services grew 10 percent from 2008 to 2009.
"There is a surprisingly sharp increase in the number of smaller companies using offshore service providers, but little or no change among larger companies," said John Longwell, director of research for Computer Economics, in a news release. "As larger customers cut back on IT spending, offshore service providers appear to be moving down market. They are doing a better job of connecting with smaller IT organizations."
