Product Type: Market Research Report

Description
This IDC Study examines the emerging trend of business transformation outsourcing (BTO). It describes the BTO model and assesses its relevance to the market. In addition, This IDC Study compares several BTO offerings from several service providers who are early entrants into this area and are shaping the evolution of the trend. The reader will learn IDC's view of the trend and its belief that customers and providers entering into BTO arrangements need to create a plan or roadmap to chart the transformation journey. This IDC Study also introduces a conceptual model that the reader can use as a tool to create a transformation roadmap. "Following the notion 'if you come to a cross in the road ? take it', is not sage advice when embarking on a business transformation path with your outsourcing partner. Both parties should have a clear understanding of the destination (i.e. desired state) they wish to arrive at and what the roles and responsibilities of each party to get there. IDC strongly recommends that any BTO arrangement be governed by a roadmap that charts the course of the transformation initiative. The roadmap needs to encompass the strategic intent of the initiative while outlining the tactical details that can scuttle success in these endeavors." Jason Bremner, director, Outsourcing Services.
