Tuesday, July 17, 2012
The 2Q12 Global TPI Index data published by technology insights and market consultancy firm Information Services Group (ISG) states that even if there were fewer deals closed during the second quarter, the value of the entire outsourcing market increased.
An increase of 7 percent was posted from 2011 Q2 and 2012 Q1, based on commercial contracts amounting to $25 million and above, reaching a total contract value (TCV) of $21.4 billion. Developments in the Asia Pacific region’s business process outsourcing (BPO) industry fuelled the growth.
On the other hand, the industry saw a decline in contract activity during the second quarter with only 173 transactions. This is a 22-percent decline year-over-year and 14 percent sequentially. However, the market saw large contract awards with TCV valued at $1 billion and above. Mega partnerships were also established during these periods, with contracts having an annual contract value (ACV) of $100 million or more.
According to John Keppel, Partner and President at ISG, the global outsourcing market improved year-over-year but it wasn’t able to match last year’s outstanding figures in value and activity.
