Dive into data analytics.

It’s never been so important for managing business and driving performance.

(Re)Define business presence.

The market is showing a trend towards redefining business presences, as number of key players are looking to build a global presence through a range of different business combinations, such as partnerships, alliances, acquisitions and collaborations. Those who are not going international, will exclude themselves from certain procurement exercises, but, at the same time, increase penetration and enhance local relationships.

That makes the life harder for global actors when it comes to compete on the local level. An increasing number of companies are making a definitive choice between these two models.

Focus on service delivery, not costs saved.

The outsourcing marketplace is moving towards models, where companies measure value less by costs saved, and more by service delivery. That presses the market players to seek and find innovative ways of delivering customer value, while maintaining contract requirements.

This evolution in corporate mindset comes to the limelight for outsourcing industry in 2014. In a new environment, where the performance evaluation is based on more than just one criterion.
