For those organisations already outsourcing aspects of their IT, the cloud delivery model raises operational questions about how best to transition to this lower cost capability and which areas offer the most appropriate point from which to begin the migration.
Cloud also challenges the traditional way that IT services are outsourced in silo'd towers roughly split between infrastructure and applications. Ultimately Cloud shifts the focus to delivery of business services rather than delivery of IT solutions.
These IT changes also erode labour arbitrage as a cost differentiator for service delivery, thus impacting offshore delivery strategies. This is because the time and materials approach to service delivery will decline and that seriously undermines the main advantage of the offshore model.
This research assesses the best way for CIOs to prepare for these industry changes and identifies which vendors are best positioned to help.
Deliverables:
- Outsourcing Vendor Insight Programme (comparison of different vendor capabilities for providing cloud services and migration within their outsourcing portfolio)
- Cloud and outsourcing - Vendor Recommendations for the UK market
- Market Trends - market development horizon scanning
- The CIO Brief on cloud and outsourcing
- UK Public Sector Lens
- Professional Lenses (for CFOs and HROs)
