From a services industry perspective, the main impact of a change from the Trump Administration to a Biden Administration in January 2021 will be the allowed degree of movement of global talent to meet the huge talent deficit in the US. As US businesses eventually come out of the COVID-19 crisis, we will see a more frantic appetite for IT modernization and digital transformation programs, but the US lacks enough talent pools with the skills necessary to deliver those outcomes.

While there is no charge for these sessions, the price of admission is participation. These sessions are most successful when all attendees are prepared to share their experiences with colleagues at other enterprises.
In support of this objective, participation is limited to senior executives within enterprises (no service providers), and each attendance request must be approved by Everest Group to ensure an appropriate size and mix of participants. The 90-minute session includes introductions, a short presentation, and 60 minutes of facilitated discussion.
Coronavirus has truly devastated the world. The number of casualties is increasing week over week, the whole world is reeling under lockdown, a deep global economic recession is looming large, and the list (unfortunately) goes on.
Now is, more than ever, the time for innovative ideas and collective solutions.
It’s not the cause of the disruption that matters, but how you respond. Everest Group has teamed up with Procurious to pinpoint what can be done about this crisis – not only from your business’ perspective, but also through the lens of your outsourced service providers.

Digital services continued to dominate outsourcing activity, driven by cloud-based deals
The global sourcing industry posted healthy numbers for Q3 2018, marked by notable increases in outsourcing demand, according to Everest Group. The total contract value of outsourcing transactions rose 11 percent from Q2 to Q3.
Digital services continued to dominate the outsourcing activity, driven by cloud-based deals. Among GIC setups, the share of digital services as compared to traditional services increased from 44 percent in Q2 to 56 percent in Q3. Likewise, a focus on digital continued to dominate both service providers’ acquisitions (73 percent) and partnerships (84 percent) landscape. Both enterprises and service providers are increasingly leveraging disruptive technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to build more a strategic digital agenda, drive innovation and focus on value-added services.
Everest Group discusses these and other third-quarter developments in the sourcing industry in its recently released Market Vista™: Q4 2018 report. The quarterly report highlights the trends in the fast-evolving global sourcing market, exploring the key developments across outsourcing transactions and Global In-house Centers (GICs), as well as location risks and opportunities, and service provider developments.
“The global services industry has enjoyed three consecutive quarters of growth in 2018,” said Salil Dani, vice president at Everest Group. “In Q3, transaction activity rose, and the volume of new contracts increased significantly. Although Q3 did see a decline in GIC market activity in comparison to Q2, we continue to expect healthy growth of the overall global services market through the remainder of the year.”

As corporate technology leaders pursue their digital transformation strategies, many are looking to IT service providers as potential partners in those change efforts. However, a one-size-fits-all approach to outsourcing providers is not likely to serve CIOs well in meeting innovation goals. In fact, bigger doesn’t necessarily mean better in the digital change era.
“Traditionally, size was a good proxy for capability, especially when technology was viewed fundamentally as an enabler of efficiency,” says Jimit Arora, partner in Everest Group’s IT Services practice.
Chief Research Guru Michel Janssen will be speaking at the 2018 SIG Global Executive Summit held in Rancho Mirage, California on October 15-18. On October 17, Michel will host a session titled “The Robots are Coming: Sourcing Implications on Pricing, Contracting, and the Future.” Other leaders from Everest Group will be attending the event as well.
Research VP Shirley Hung will participate in a panel discussion at the event as well. The topic of the October 17 discussion is “CSR, Sustainability, and Impact Sourcing: Perspectives and Best Practices”
Robotic Process Automation – RPA – is impacting the very way companies do business. In this fast-paced, dynamic market, it’s essential that you stay abreast of the latest market and vendor developments to best harness the power of RPA – at the right cost and with suitable contract terms. And, with everyone touting their “latest thing,” one must be able to separate the hype from the truth.
Learning Objectives
SIG Global Executive Summits are 4-day events that are packed with the latest best practices, cost-cutting strategies, innovative processes and risk-mitigation approaches. Through CPO roundtables, keynote sessions, workshops, breakout sessions and networking events, you’ll hear from industry thought leaders, discover the latest innovative trends and have the opportunity to network with like-minded professionals facing similar challenges.

With digital transformation all but mandatory across industries today, that innovation imperative is impacting every part of IT, including its outsourcing engagements. However, many CIOs are struggling to integrate third-party IT services deals into their long-term business strategies. Indeed, a recent Everest Group survey found that 61 percent of enterprises pursuing digital transformation were dissatisfied with their service providers.
More than a quarter of revenues for the top 20 outsourcing providers are generated by digital services, according to Jimit Arora, partner in Everest Group’s IT Services practice, with those markets growing as the traditional services market is shrinking.

When it comes ensuring a successful IT outsourcing outcome, the customer has more impact than you might think. In fact, recent research conducted by outsourcing consultancy ISG found that outsourcer and client are equally responsible for outsourcing results — regardless of whether the relationship succeeded or faltered.
“In our experience, there is good intent at the beginning of the program, but, clearly, as people get back to their day jobs, focus goes back to metrics, KPIs, and quarterly business reviews,” says Jimit Arora, partner in the IT services group at outsourcing consultancy and research firm Everest Group.
