Description

"Vertical expertise is crucial for a full service IS outsourcing provider," says Leslie Rosenblood, senior analyst, outsourcing services. "As most these vendors have created industry specific solutions, it is no longer a significant source of competitive advantage. IT service organizations must prepare to differentiate themselves after the point when industry knowledge becomes a minimum customer requirement."
