Post political disorder over outsourcing and offshoring the fog has started to move out from the sky. Input Inc. a market research firm has predicted that the state and local outsourcing market is all set to grow from $12 billion in 2006 to $20 billion in 2011. The spending on outsourcing will include both IT outsourcing and other BPO. Demand in the areas of data center management, application management, desktop services and hosting will drive in growth.
Michelle Miller, a senior analyst with Input said, “Outsourcing remains a political hot button at the state and local levels. In recent years savvy leaders have found ways to sell outsourcing plans to state legislators by focusing on an approach that strikes a balance between cost savings and keeping jobs and government revenues in-state.”
