Yes, you heard it here first, folks: \u00a0outsourcing expenditure is mushrooming at the warp-speed clip of 4% this year to surpass $950 Billion, and expected to average a 5% clip each year through 2017:<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do we know all this? \u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because we have a super-brainy data guy called Jamie Snowdon<\/a> leading our data and forecasting practice, where we pull together data from thousands of supplier contracts,\u00a0revenue\u00a0databases, inflation estimates, economic primers and – most importantly – from the thousands of buyers and other industry stakeholders, who have been so religiously responding to our ongoing surveys (we have data from over 3,ooo buyer\u00a0spending\u00a0intentions just from the last year).<\/p>\n

Yes, we’re so\u00a0excited\u00a0about sizing and forecasting global outsourcing markets, we’re delivering to industry the quarterly HfS Market\u00a0IndexTM<\/sup><\/span> that delves into all the ITO and BPO services markets by countries, verticals and discreet horizontal markets.<\/p>\n

Why are we doing this?<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Because noone else is doing it\u00a0accurately. \u00a0When IDC claims China’s BPO market is $6bn, you just know<\/em> something is a bit off…<\/p>\n

Because we have such a strong day-to-day involvement into the worlds of the buyers, sellers and advisors of outsourcing. \u00a0We actually have some peculiar people on staff who wake up in the morning and think about process flowcharts before breakfast.<\/p>\n

Because there is very little data out there which really reflects what is going on across outsourcing services, with reliable and realistic\u00a0capabilities\u00a0to forecast out four years.<\/p>\n

Because we can.<\/p>\n

How can you get access to it?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Sadly, we have long tried to run HfS as a non-profit charity, but we found life started getting a bit crappy when the heating got cut off in the offices and we were living off cans of Progresso soup. \u00a0So our research suibscribers will get the full benefit. \u00a0However, as good\u00a0Samaritans, the first one is free<\/em> – yay! \u00a0Go register on our site and download your copy now<\/a>. \u00a0This offer will expire with one week, otherwise the only other option to get a free copy out of us is through bribery,\u00a0extortion or\u00a0heavy imbibement.<\/p>\n

So click here<\/span><\/a><\/span> to download your one and only free copy of the HfS Market\u00a0IndexTM<\/sup><\/span>. Now<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
