Product Code: R3492-74Description The Procurement Outsourcing (PO) market in 2007 continued on a growth path toward wider market adoption. With the number of new contract signings in 2007 matching that of 2006, the PO market is moving closer to entering a "rapid growth" phase as 2008 unfolds.
Several key dynamics took form in 2007, including:
- The emergence of a new PO value proposition representing the convergence of the traditional FAO and PO value propositions.
- Shifts in the competitive landscape in response to growing and morphing opportunities in the PO space
- Emerging buyer adoption trends around transactional PO, end-to-end processes, and “phased” engagements
In response to this increased market interest, suppliers continue to expand their capabilities in different ways and the market has even seen a few mergers and acquisitions. This report examines the global 2007 PO market and provides insights, detailed analyses and implications for stakeholders into 2008 and beyond.
