|
| News this week might slip under the radar in terms of industry impacts as individual events may not have been game-changing,Offshore outsourcing, but they certainly indicate some significant shifts.
The first news this week was of Dell Computer's acquisition of Perot. While this certainly doesn't create a giant in the industry, it does show how smaller outsourcing providers as well as hardware vendors need to adjust to changed market conditions. Is this the first of many such moves,custom software development, we have to wonder? The second was the replacement of EDS by HP Enterprise Services. While this may sound unimportant, it is a significant move of dropping a long-term and well recognized brand in the outsourcing world in place of another well-known brand in terms of HP. The third was the announcement by TPI of its agreement to aid the Chinese outsourcing industry. While China clearly has some steps to take to become a major player in the outsourcing services world,outsourcing and globalization, the connection with TPI,Outsourcing Solution For Retail Goods, the largest and most trusted brand in the sourcing advisory market, is an indication of the seriousness with which China is likely to move. (Editor's note: As stated in his blogger profile, Michael is currently a partner at TPI.) All in all,Print solution outsourcing, a bigger week than it may first appear in the sourcing industry. |
