This IDC study presents IDC's most recent forecast for IS outsourcing services spending in Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan). The forecast includes the five-year compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) by industry sectors from 2003 to 2008.
The document answers the following questions:
What are IDC's predictions and assumptions relating to market forces affecting the IS outsourcing services market, and what impact will they have on market forecasts? Which industry sectors spend the most on IS outsourcing services? And which industry sectors will experience the strongest CAGRs through 2008?"Increased operational efficiencies and cost reductions will still remain a top priority but, increasingly, IS outsourcing is being viewed as a vehicle for transforming the company. Therefore, outsourcing vendors with industry expertise will be the ones best positioned to partner with clients on the transformation journey," says Osman Tora, research manager, Asia/Pacific IS Outsourcing and Utility Services.
