Dallas, TX
(April 16, 2008) – Alsbridge, Inc.
announced today the initial results of leading edge research conducted by Aberdeen, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE:HHS). Results of the report have not been
published, but early indications are that the motivations of the outsourcing
buyer change significantly over time. Alsbridge
is optimistic that this data will provide insight into systematic issues in the
sourcing process. Early findings indicate that cost reduction is
the leading driver with user satisfaction and increased efficiency as the
measurements that organizations employ to determine the success of the ITO
initiative.
Over 140
respondents representing companies of all sizes worldwide were queried with
outsourced relationship ranging from application development and maintenance as
well as computer operations, network and desktop.
Alsbridge
and its affiliate www.outsourcingleadership.com
are committed to sustainable cost effective sourcing that focuses on the total
value of the outsourced relationship.

Ben Trowbridge, CEO for Alsbridge, sees the early research
findings as a reflection of the widening choices for outsourcing in a buyer’s
market. “The complexity of ITO providers
and services available is 100x of 10 years ago.
The ability to match client and provider takes a more careful
consideration of the options than ever before.
The widening series of options now more than ever call for 3rd
party assistance. There are two drivers
of this need: the first involves freeing up in-house IT staff to concentrate on
more critical issues of day to day operations and secondly, access to the data
and pricing benchmarks.
