Outsourcing Grows More and More
Contrary to reports showing that outsourcing is dwindling down, a research report shows that outsourcing deals are indeed growing and actually have reached the status of "mega deals".
Here is an interesting excerpt from the research study done by Forrester:
Results found that 84 deals in total were closed in EMEA during the second quarter worth over €5.4 (£3.8 million), which is 19 more deals than in the same period last year.
IT infrastructure deals accounted for 45 per cent of all outsourcing contracts and help desk and support services also increased substantially, making up at least 44 per cent of the contracts.
Surprise findings came from the Nordic countries where Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark closed 14 deals together, reflecting the "high outsourcing maturity" of this region.
If this research study would be the basis, you could see that Europe continues to embark on outsourcing. I guess it just means that they are satisfied with this kind of business strategy and would continue to invest in it.

As a freelancer I find the outsourcing growth as a blessed blessing. Not only big companies benefit from it, but also the little man, the “simple worker” and thank god for that! The great thing about it is that now, using online platfroms such as Elance anf Bizreef you can get tons of work from businesses from all over the world.
Double thank god for that!

To know that the outsourcing market is growing is a good news. Outsourcing is intresting for many parts of business. Our company Sales Outsourcing Business GmbH ( http://www.sales-outsourcing-business.com ) from Switzerland is a specialist for sales outsourcing.
It is not easy to convince a manager to give parts of his sales and marketing department away. Many companies have made bad experience with that subject and if I speak with them they can not imagine that it can work.
I hopre in future there will be more success stories from sales outsourcing.
