IT outsourcing set for a major rise
Businesses are increasingly open to outsourcing IT functions to external providers, thanks in part to the pandemic.
Polling more than 250 UK businesses with the highest IT spending, the new report from Whitelane Research and PA Consulting found two-thirds (65 percent) plan to outsource their IT over the next two years, at least at the same rate as today while a third said they will look to increase outsourcing.
“It is evident that industry has embraced the changes that have come about since COVID-19 and used the opportunity to reduce Opex, introduce new ways of working, focus on innovation and improve productivity,” said Manish Khandelwal, IT Transformation Expert at PA Consulting.
