Description

This IDC study presents the second assessment for 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 remained strong in 2008 as companies recognized the value of these services in driving greater operational and cost efficiencies.

"Discrete and bundled AM service revenue reached an estimated $40.8 billion in 2008 for the top 25 global service providers," said Rona Shuchat, director of Application Outsourcing Services at IDC. "This reflects continued adoption of AO third-party services by the enterprise customer, with a particular emphasis on leveraging AO to drive cost reductions and increase operational efficiencies."
