Description

This IDC study establishes the first baseline for assessing how the top 10 global AO service providers are performing as they expand their annuity-based revenue streams through a mix of embedded and discrete AM strategies. Enterprise adoption of application outsourcing services is reaching critical mass as the intrinsic values of these services are recognized around the world.

"Discrete and bundled AM service revenue reached an estimated $35 billion in 2007 for the top 25 global service providers," said Rona Shuchat, director of Application Outsourcing Services at IDC. "This reflects growing adoption of enterprise use of third-party providers, not only for standalone AM service but also for transformational value-added services linked into AM or broader bundled outsourcing solutions."
