The End of IT Outsourcing As We Know It – Computerworld

Posted on August 12, 2010 by AtulNo Comments

WoW!  I am starting to see “Cloud Computing” being put forth as the “Internet Boom” of the late 90s. Think it has tremendous potential and just like the internet will take its time to mature…. Let’s make sure we “Look Before We Leap”.

Arjun Sethi doesn’t equivocate. “In the next five years, outsourcing as we know it will have disappeared,” says the partner and head of the outsourcing practice at consultancy A.T. Kearney. “New players, which have yet to enter the market, will soon rule the industry.”

At the heart of Sethi's prediction of a “massive reconfiguration of the outsourcing industry” is the rise of cloud computing. Most existing providers simply won't adapt quickly enough. As a result, Sethi says, Amazon, Google or a vendor we've not yet heard of will become the market leaders. Meanwhile, traditional infrastructure providers like HP, Dell and Xerox may struggle to keep up, and many Indian providers will disappear completely.

CIO.com talked to Sethi about his vision of the next generation of IT outsourcing.
