Predictions for IT Outsourcing

Filed in archive Opinions & Insights on January 6, 2007

It's 2007 and a great year for predictions!

Let me share with you the predictions revealed by Luxoft, one of the leading IT Outsourcing provider in Russia regarding their IT outsourcing predictions for this year. Here are some of the interesting ones:

-outsourcing would be more "agile" for this year
-the popularity of hybrid outsourcing models
-more sophisticated security features in outsourcing
-"nearshore trend" for different outsourcing deals
-value would outweigh cost

Personally, I agree with these predictions given by Luxoft because if you would notice, most of these changes are for the betterment of the outsourcing industry. This just proves my theory that companies are really viewing outsourcing in a new light and not just a quick fix for a firm's problematic situation.

I am looking forward to see these predictions become reality for the year 2007.
