We examine the main players in Europe and expands on four different player categories: the staff augmentation players, those active in automotive and aerospace, the Indian vendors and the IT services vendors also present in R&D services. We look at how the main players are adapting their activity in light of new client demand, such as offshore sourced work, work packages and fixed-priced projects.
