”Everyone outsources,” said Mike Corbett, IAOP’s Founder and Chairman. “But the way businesses outsource is constantly changing. From social, mobile, analytics and the cloud to socially responsible outsourcing, the playing field is constantly changing. IAOP’s annual survey is the benchmark professionals around the world rely upon.”
“We are delighted to be a partner in the 2015 State of the Outsourcing Industry Survey and provide expert commentary on the results based on our own market intelligence and in-depth knowledge of industry trends,” said Paul Reynolds, chief research officer of ISG. “This is the first step in a partnership aimed at increasing overall understanding of the global sourcing marketplace, a process we expect will lead to a higher level of performance for all industry players – enterprises, service providers and advisors alike.”
The survey is open to all of IAOP’s global members and affiliates, ISG’s clients, and all outsourcing professionals across the field and around the world.
