Abstract
This IDC study provides IDC' s assessment of the 2007 market in Australia for IS
outsourcing services as well as forecasts for 2008-2012.
"IDC announced a reduced IT services spending forecast due to recent downward
revisions to macroeconomic indicators and assumptions and the mild recession
scenario."
"In a slightly weakening economy, customers will become more cost conscious
than ever. Cost reduction will yet again appear on top of the executive agenda.
It is incumbent upon service providers (SPs) to provide new and less-costly
delivery options, and offshore outsourcing will be high on the agenda for most
organisations," says Aprajita Sharma, research manager, Outsourcing and BPO,
IDC Australia.
