June 28, 2016

Second event in “On Point | Summit Series 2016” to feature Rod Bourgeois of DeepDive Equity Research; topics will include sourcing models, next-generation IT, and contracting for business outcomes.

The global outsourcing industry has matured into a slower growth pattern, but strategic outsourcing solutions can still add dramatically more and different value to organizations. Discovering the keys to unlocking this outsourcing value will be the focus of the day as enterprise sourcing executives and senior leaders gather in New York City on July 21 at the On Point Summit to network and share insights on optimizing their global sourcing strategies.

The half-day summit—hosted by Everest Group and themed “Succeeding in Outsourcing 4.0: Imperatives for Strategic Sourcing Executives”—is a forum designed for enterprise attendees to learn from each other and featured industry experts and leading practitioners.

Special guest speaker, Rod Bourgeois, head of research and consulting at DeepDive Equity Research, will present, “What are the Winning Models? An Investor’s View.”

“We launched the ‘On Point | Summit Series 2016’ because our clients and others in the industry wanted a safe forum where they could exchange ideas with peers and engage with us in person,” said Eric Simonson, managing partner – research at Everest Group. “Based on feedback from our first event, our format of intimate interaction with peers, an opportunity to hear provocative thought leaders, and a chance to have detailed discussions with us on key issues is exactly what these business leaders are looking for. The takeaways from the event offer an excellent ROI on the time invested.”

The July 21 agenda will feature a panel of leading outsourcing practitioners who will engage participants in a lively discussion about incorporating next-generation capabilities into outsourcing solutions. Other highlights will include “Bring Your Own Topic” (BYOT) roundtable discussions and insights on contracting for business outcomes, offered by Everest Group.

Everest Group hosts for the event include Simonson; Jimit Arora, partner and leader of IT services – research; and Sarthak Brahma, vice president, pricing assurance – research.

This is the second installment of Everest Group’s by-invitation-only “On Point | Summit Series 2016.” The first event, held in May, focused on emerging technology and talent trends in the banking, financial services and insurance industry. Guests enjoyed active dialogue with peers, insights from Everest Group research analysts, and a presentation by guest speaker, Chitra Dorai, IBM fellow and CTO of cognitive services, who shared her thoughts on “Cognitive Computing for Process Re-imagination in Financial Services.”

Everest Group Identifies Digital Sourcing Hot Spots | Press Release

June 27, 2016

As the search for digital talent intensifies, Everest Group offers a “MAP” of the world’s top locations for digital service delivery

Where in the world is the best location for digital services? Enterprises need to know, says Everest Group—a consulting and research firm focused on strategic IT, business services, and sourcing—which is today releasing key insights from its recent research on top locations for digital services delivery, “Global Hotspots for Digital Services.”

“Global delivery has become talent-centric as enterprises, thinking beyond arbitrage and efficiency, intensify their search for digital talent to support digital business initiatives such as social and interactive, mobility, analytics, cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), robotic process automation (RPA), digital cybersecurity and more,” said H. Karthik, partner, Global Sourcing, at Everest Group. “As a result, the choice of locations for digital service delivery has become a key strategic decision and will become even more critical as the delivery of digital services witnesses robust adoption in the next two to three years.”

Everest Group estimates that the global digital services market is currently 300,000 to 350,000 FTEs strong and accounts for 5 to 7 percent of the global information technology / business process (IT-BP) industry. Going forward, Everest Group expects this share to increase owing to the faster annual rate of growth of the digital services market (14 to 18 percent) as compared to the overall IT-BP industry (7 to 9 percent) during the past four to five years.

Key Findings:

– India is the largest destination for delivery digital services (accounting for approximately 55 percent of the market in terms of FTEs), driven by the availability of high-quality talent, synergies with existing sourcing operations in the area, and low operating costs.

– Onshore tier-two North America and tier-two Europe constitute approximately 24 percent of global digital FTEs and are important geographies for real-time innovation and speed-to-market for existing and next-generation digital technologies.

– Nearshore Europe constitutes approximately 14 percent of the global digital FTEs, attractive to buyers due to multilingual service delivery for social media, analytics and mobility services.

– Asia-Pacific (excluding India) accounts for approximately 7 percent of global digital FTEs, with selective evidence of high-end digital services delivery in cities such as Singapore, Beijing and Malaysia.

– Latin America is relatively less mature for digital services delivery as compared to India and Nearshore Europe; however, it is witnessing traction in supporting regional demand and also in providing medium-to-low complexity digital services to North America.

Everest Group also assessed the leading digital services delivery locations on the dimensions of talent and cost, and grouped them in its proprietary MAP Matrix™ according to maturity, arbitrage, and potential.

– The cities of Bangalore, Mumbai and Hyderabad are clear Leaders.

– Major contenders include Manila, Prague, Sao Paulo and Dublin, which have sizable digital IT talent driven by cloud services.

– Aspirants are typified by Beijing, Buenos Aires, Kuala Lumpur and Krakow.

Everest Group Experts to Headline “Go Digital or Die” Event for CIOs | Press Release

June 7, 2016

Taking the message a step further, Everest Group cites recent research in warning, “No DevOps, No Digital.”

No longer a peripheral facilitator of business operations, technology must now be at the heart of every enterprise. It is time to “go digital or die,” according to Everest Group, a consulting and research firm focused on strategic IT, business services and sourcing. To become truly digital, enterprises need to develop a holistic applications and infrastructure strategy, with DevOps as the pivotal enabler.

Everest Group experts Sarah Burnett, vice president, and Eric Simonson, managing partner, will discuss these findings at an exclusive event, “Go Digital or Die,” to be co-hosted by Professional Outsourcing magazine and Nasscom on June 23 in London.

Burnett and Simonson will join R. Chandrashekhar, Nasscom president, in discussing technology from the capital point of view, disruptive technology, and making the digital transition.

***More information about this exclusive networking dinner and presentation at the Royal Horse Guards Parade Hotel is available here.***

According to Everest Group’s Application & Digital Services research conducted in Q1 2016, over three-fourths of enterprises believe in leveraging digital technologies to achieve competitive differentiation.

“Enterprises that embrace digital adoption are using technology to create new business, not just enable it. For example, enterprises are discovering how IoT and mobility can dramatically improve user experiences, which is unlike the traditional role of technology for driving efficiencies in back-office operations,” said Yugal Joshi, practice director and lead on the recently published report, “Application Services – Annual Report 2016: ‘No DevOps No Digital.’”

“Digital enterprises are those that employ emerging technologies throughout the enterprise—across internal and market-facing operations,” continued Joshi. “This requires an integrated applications and operations strategy with DevOps as its pivotal element.”

Everest Group also reports that though enterprises are keen to adopt DevOps principles, most organizations struggle with them and require hand-holding on their journey. Nevertheless, this has not resulted in higher engagement with service providers, as enterprises themselves are scaling up their portfolio to meet this demand.

Other Key Takeaways from Application Services Annual Report

Enterprises have begun adopting Agile and DevOps principles by themselves. However, they are struggling with scaling up their pilot projects to an enterprise-wide adoption.
Many enterprises already have adopted Agile approaches in the application development and testing phases of the lifecycle and are now experimenting with ways to integrate the crucial operations phase to embark on a truly DevOps journey.
While in some cases enterprises lack executive leadership commitment to institute cultural change, in other cases, enterprises overemphasize technology without getting the pre-requisite peripherals in place.
The Application Services market grew by approximately 5 percent in 2015, higher than the overall IT services industry growth of 3 percent.
Demand for consulting services spiked in the last year, driven primarily by enterprise adoption of digital technologies.
Anti-incumbency is gaining traction among buyers as they are increasingly seeking newer engagement constructs.
The Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI) segment led overall deal activity with 26 percent share. Healthcare and life sciences enterprises increased their spending proportion to 14 percent share.
As for the outlook for 2016-2017, Everest Group predicts that digital adoption will continue to witness increased traction, but the bulk of enterprise spending will be on traditional application services that take up the majority of legacy application portfolios. Application services will begin to take up a slightly larger share of the market as demand for digital technologies and connected systems will necessitate development of ecosystems across multiple channels.

471 Global Services Deals in Q1 Exceeds industry Expectations | Press Release

May 23, 2016

Webinar identifies “talent hotspots”– locations well positioned to lead in the delivery of digital services

Global outsourcing demand exceeded industry expectations in Q1 2016, according to Everest Group, a consulting and research firm focused on strategic IT, business services and sourcing. Most service providers reported sequential growth in revenue, and transaction activity increased significantly, with more new deals reported in Q1 than in any of the previous eight quarters.

Growth in the IT outsourcing market was a key contributor to the outsourcing industry’s strong performance in Q1, with banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) and manufacturing, distribution and retail (MDR) verticals leading the way. Service delivery automation, an ongoing trend among service providers, is helping replace a substantial amount of human yields, resulting in significant cost savings for enterprises.

Everest Group presented these and other highlights of the global services market in Q1 2016 in a one-hour live webinar on May 12. The webinar, “Key Insight on Digital Service Delivery ‘Talent Hotspots’ PLUS Market Vista™ Q1 2016 Update,” featured Everest Group experts offering insights on the delivery locations that are positioned to become the “talent hotspots” for the delivery of digital services.

“Service delivery automation continues to shape the industry, and we are beginning to see a clear demarcation of leading providers who have witnessed significantly greater impact on the revenue, cost and productivity,” said Salil Dani, vice president at Everest Group. “Best-in-class providers are reporting some remarkable milestones, such as a 24 percent reduction in net headcount addition, cost savings between US$100 to $300 million annually, and up to 50 percent improvement in productivity due to automation.”

Other Key Takeaways

The increase in demand continued to be led by the “traditional buyer geographies” of Europe and North America
GIC activity was high, with setups concentrated in Europe for buyers looking to leverage the nearshore proposition
Overall location activity also remained high with increased center setups in Latin America compared to previous quarters. Interestingly, India’s share in new center setups decreased for the first time in many years
Service delivery automation (SDA) adoption is leading to lower headcount addition by leading service providers, compared to 2015

80 Percent of Enterprises are Well Along the Road to SaaS Adoption, with Many Relying on Service Providers to Guide Adoption Journey | Press Release

April 14, 2016

Accenture and Deloitte are named Leaders in Everest Group PEAK Matrix™ list of top IT service providers in SaaS implementation market

Enterprises are seeking newer mechanisms to consume and provide software to their end-users. Consequently, consumption-based models such as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) have mushroomed in recent years. According to research conducted by Everest Group, over 80 percent of enterprises have either piloted adoption or already adopted SaaS solutions. These high adoption trends suggest SaaS is no longer a fringe construct. Rather, it has become a prime investment focus for enterprises.

“Though we would expect mega enterprises to constitute the largest proportion of deals, the smaller enterprises take up that mantle,” said Chirajeet Sengupta, vice president at Everest Group. “As-a-Service models are compelling to businesses of all sizes, because they offer access to enterprise-class technology in flexible consumption models, in line with business fluctuations.”

Everest Group also found that traditional technology providers are aggressively adapting their business models to maintain dominant market share, with Oracle, SAP and Microsoft representing a combined 69 percent of SaaS deals.

Despite assumptions that SaaS is easy to deploy, enterprises often find the opposite to be true. SaaS adoption can be plagued with challenges such as vendor risks, integration challenges with legacy systems, security issues, privacy concerns, hesitancy to use shared technology, and problems with network availability, latency and bandwidth.

As a result, system integrators are playing an integral part in this adoption journey, by helping enterprises integrate and deploy SaaS products. In fact, nearly 42 percent of revenue among service providers for SaaS engagements is for consulting and customization.

Everest Group profiles ten leading IT service providers in the SaaS implementation services space in a PEAK Matrix™ report. Accenture and Deloitte are named as Leaders; Capgemini, Cognizant, HCL, Infosys, TCS and Wipro are identified as Major Contenders; and Dell Services and L&T Infotech are categorized as Aspirants.

***Download Complimentary 4-page PEAK Matrix™ Preview Here***

Insights into each provider’s vision, major services portfolio, key solutions, and recent investments in the domain as well as additional research findings about the SaaS implementation services market are described in “SaaS Implementation Services – Market Trends and PEAK Matrix™ Assessment & Profiles Compendium.” A preview report is available for complimentary download here.

About the PEAK Matrix™

The Everest Group PEAK Matrix is a proprietary framework for assessing the relative market success and overall capability of service providers based on Performance, Experiences, Ability and Knowledge. Each service provider is comparatively assessed on two dimensions: market success and delivery capabilities. The resulting matrix categorizes service providers as Leaders, Major Contenders, and Aspirants. Companies that demonstrate strong upward movement in successive reports are recognized as Star Performers. Everest Group recently announced a recalibrated methodology, in which innovation, intellectual property and technology take center stage.

Global In-house Center (GIC) Landscape Grows as GICs are Recognized for Role in Driving Innovation | Press Release

April 13, 2016

Annual number of new GIC setups reaches four-year high, driven by enterprise demand for digital skills

The global sourcing market continued to evolve and grow rapidly in 2015 to cross the US$160 billion mark. While buyers leveraged a variety of sourcing models, the Global In-house Center (GIC), also known as captive center, model continued to be an integral component of this evolution, accounting for 25 percent (US$38-42 billion) of the global offshore services market.

The success of the GIC model in India and the Philippines led buyers to explore its application in other locations. While both these countries continue to lead GIC activity, companies also established GICs in other parts of Asia, Central & Eastern Europe (CEE), Latin America, and Middle East & Africa (MEA). The CEE region, in particular, is becoming a preferred delivery location for GICs as it offers an attractive cost-talent-operating environment proposition.

Besides the geographic diversification, the GIC market also expanded across verticals and functions. The manufacturing, distribution and retail (MDR) vertical continued to dominate, logging maximum growth and the most new setups in comparison to other verticals. Business process services continued to be the predominant function served by GICs; however, IT and R&D/engineering services witnessed traction due to growing importance of digitalization.

“We expect GIC activity to continue on its growth trajectory, because GICs are no longer seen as only a support unit or cost-saving mechanism for their parent entities,” said Sakshi Garg, practice director at Everest Group. “GICs are being considered a strategic unit for driving innovation. To that end, we increasingly see GICs expanding their ecosystem of partners to include start-ups. The retail and technology verticals are leading this trend, leveraging start-ups in areas such as mobility solutions, business intelligence, cyber security, process automation, and customer experience. ”

Other findings in the research:

The GIC market has now grown to reach more than 2,101 centers and one million FTEs across leading offshore and nearshore locations
Overall, the GIC market continues to be dominated by U.S.-based large (revenue exceeding US$10billion) companies; however, small firms (revenue less than US$10 billion) are also witnessing an increase in GIC activity
A multi-GIC footprint is observed primarily among technology and MDR companies.
Technology, MDR, and BFSI (banking, financial services and insurance) firms lead the GIC activity. Emerging verticals such as consulting and professional services, conglomerates, hospitality, media and entertainment, legal and leasing sectors are also adopting the GIC model to support both business process and IT needs.
GIC activity in tier-2/3 locations increased; however, tier-1 cities witnessed a marginal decline.

“Doing Cloud” vs “Thinking Cloud” Separates True Believers in Digital Transformation | Press Release

April 12, 2016

Enterprises move beyond typical cloud-based delivery model to adopt cloud as disruptive platform for “as-a-service” agenda.

When it comes to the IT mantra “cloud is critical,” some enterprises are true believers and others are not, at least not yet. New research from Everest Group finds that around 86 percent of enterprises consider cloud to be the critical component of digital transformation; however, only 60 percent of enterprises consider cloud services among their “top 3” investment priorities. This discrepancy suggests that “thinking cloud” and “doing cloud” are two very different things and that enterprises are at different maturity levels from a cloud-adoption perspective, especially with respect to driving digital transformation.

Everest Group predicts the cloud services market will grow nearly 25 percent CAGR between 2015 and 2020 as enterprises demand more value from cloud services, insisting on leveraging cloud as the core platform to drive strategic business initiatives. Increasingly, enterprises will be less concerned about the cloud platform or deployment model and its technological superiority, and more concerned about leveraging cloud to drive an “IT-as-a-Service” consumption model that goes beyond provisioning of infrastructure services.

“Cloud is critical for IT-as-a-Service but requires a broader agenda beyond cloud infrastructure. Although nearly 90 percent of cloud deals have an IaaS component, less than half of them can be termed as “transformational”,” said Chirajeet Sengupta, vice president at Everest Group. “Truly successful digital businesses will have to transform applications, infrastructure, and organizational culture to drive growth as well as internal efficiencies. Focusing on just one aspect will result in sub-scale adoption and value loss for the business. Likewise, cloud service providers need to think beyond infrastructure and keep the broader business transformation priorities in mind.”

Other findings in the research:

Private cloud deployments will lead growth, given enterprises’ emphasis on hybrid cloud services
Around 20 percent of infrastructure global services engagements include cloud-delivered services.
In terms of buyer adoption, the retail industry led others, almost doubling its contribution to overall engagements.
North America and United Kingdom contributed around 55 percent of cloud engagements.

These research findings are summarized in a set of high-resolution graphics available
