4. Service Provider Intelligence Predictions for 2012
Macro Environment
Pricing pressures will squeeze providers’ margins, especially for offshore resources, forcing investment in newer
customer-centric / industry-specific solutions, and deployment of innovative engagement models
Buyers’ focus on business innovation is likely to drive a greater push on domain/micro-vertical expertise, which will in
turn drive investments in creation of new products and solution accelerators
Buyer-driven portfolio consolidation will continue, especially by large BFSI organizations that are looking to further
rationalize their service providers portfolios
Growth
Momentum in emerging areas such as social media, mobility, green IT, and cloud will continue to drive service
providers’ focus on innovation, and foster evolution of niche/ specialist service providers
2012 will witness increased emergence of regional service providers on the global stage through focused efforts on
building an offshore play
Disruption
Smaller/Tier-2 players have to need to demonstrate meaningful differentiation to protect market share – both in terms of
capabilities, as well as in engagement and pricing terms
M&A in the provider marketplace is expected to continue, especially in select non-traditional segments (e.g., services
companies looking for products) will signal a change in the acquisition appetite of large offshore providers. Tier-2
specialist/niche service providers will be the primary acquisition targets.

5. Global Sourcing (GS) Predictions for 2012
Growth and adoption
Global macroeconomic and political uncertainty will result in sluggish outsourcing activity earlier in the year. Business
confidence is likely to return towards the end of the year
Financial pressures on buyers will lead to increasing attention to global sourcing management and consolidation
initiatives; this will involve tighter discipline in demand planning and in capturing synergies across the organization
The BFSI vertical will continue to be the dominant industry segment; other verticals such as healthcare and
Manufacturing Distribution and Retail (MDR) will continue to witness increasing traction. In terms of buyer geographies,
North America will continue to dominate. Asia Pacific is likely to grow faster than the industry average
Locations
In addition to Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Latin America, emerging geographies such as Africa will continue
to attract interest
Established markets (India and the Philippines) will see easing of labor market pressures in the first few months on the
back of softening demand. These pressures may gradually return toward the end of the year as the global economic
outlook improves
Sourcing models
Companies will continue their balancing act between the captive and third-party models. There will be focused efforts to
improve the value delivered from captives by focusing on high-value processes
Captives will continue to be an integral component of organizations’ global sourcing strategy. Captive investments will
continue, and the majority of setups/expansions will be in Asia Pacific and CEE

6. Poll Question #1: The world we live in
How are global dynamics (i.e., the European debt crisis, political
upheaval in the Middle East, natural disasters in Japan) affecting your
company’s attitude towards global services?
We see global services as a strategy for managing
unpredictability and risk 53%
We continue to adopt global services, but we’re
more cautious and our appetite for risk is smaller 34%
We’re likely to put plans on hold and stick to the
status quo for now 13%

7. Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO)
Predictions for 2012
Macro Environment
Buyers’ IT budgets may be suppressed: Fears of a second economic slowdown threatens the 2010 recovery
Fewer and simpler: The buyers’ ITO spending focus will be on fewer deals with simpler pricing models; more buyers are
expected to stay away from the outsourcing market
Margin pressures: Overall, margin pressures will continue to be a challenge for service providers
Growth
ITO spending will be driven by larger buyers and will focus on outsourcing economics and service provider
consolidation
Large service providers, both offshore and MNC, will benefit from this consolidation, leading to further growth disparity
between large and small service providers
IO deals will increase driven by cloud and RIMO
Strategic convergence between the large offshore and MNC service providers will continue
Disruption: Next Generation IT Adoption
Cloud: In the past, technical and perception issues caused cloud adoption challenges. Investments in new and
sophisticated solutions, and the renewed focus on outsourcing economics, will make cloud adoption more mainstream
Consumerization: Legacy hardware service providers and telecom firms (hosting providers) will create a strong push
toward consumerization of IT. Continuous pressure by end users for better consumer devices will also drive buyers
towards consumerization
Social networking: Rapidly accelerating use of social networking in workplaces will drive more corporate spend in this
area

8. Finance and Accounting Outsourcing (FAO)
Predictions for 2012
Macro Environment
The FAO sales cycle will continue to be long as buyers are still cautious about the macroeconomic environment
Buyers will continue to favour a phased, as opposed to a “big bang”, approach
While cost arbitrage continues to be a key driver, the real buyer expectation from FAO now is to transform processes
toward best-in-class performance
Growth
The FAO market will experience ~15% YoY growth to reach US$4.5-5 billion in ACV
India-to-India domestic BPO, and the Middle East and APAC regions, will continue their upward growth
The demand for analytics and other specialized F&A services (e.g., regulatory compliance, internal audit) will continue
to increase
Disruption
Verticalization of FAO services and industry-specific FAO offerings will play a strong role in shaping the FAO value
proposition
Mature themes such as outcome-based and transaction-based pricing will find increased instances in FAO contracts
2012 will also see a stronger push for platform and BPaaS-based offerings (primarily catering to small and mid-market
buyers)
The M&A activity witnessed in 2011 will continue to an extent in 2012

9. Procurement Outsourcing (PO)
Predictions for 2012
Macro Environment
Buyers will take an end-to-end approach, concentrating on Source-to-Contract (S2C) and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) rather
than discrete processes
CFOs will increasingly drive PO conversations, leading to deals with FAO-PO bundling
Growth
The PO market will grow at ~20% YoY to reach US$1.8 billion in ACV
The government sector will see activity, especially in the UK market
Central and South America will join Asia Pacific as the regions with the fastest growth, albeit on a low base
Disruption
Acquisitions/partnerships between P2P-focused providers and S2C-focused providers are expected
Adoption of SaaS-based technology solutions will increase
The domain of PO deals will expand to cover other areas of supply chain
More direct spend categories that are non-core, such as MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul), will increasingly
become part of PO deals

10. Human Resources Outsourcing (HRO)
Predictions for 2012
Macro Environment
Buyers will increasingly approach HRO with a balanced set of outcomes, and adopt models that both address their
short term needs and create a foundation to realize their long term objectives
Instead of auto-renewals, existing buyers will increasingly evaluate (but selectively adopt) alternate provider options
Few traditional mid-market providers are likely to pursue large market opportunities
Growth
The MPHRO market will continue to grow at a steady rate, and reach ~US$3.7 billion in terms of ACV
We expect the high growth in standalone single process outsourcing, such as multi-country payroll, benefits, and
recruitment
Adoption of HRO will gather further steam in emerging markets such as Brazil, Japan, India, and China
While BPaaS will continue to be the dominant model in the mid-market, it will gain greater traction in the large market
Disruption
We will also see at least one provider exit the Multi-process HRO (MPHRO) market, creating opportunities for other
providers to tap its existing clients
There will be further merger and acquisition activity, particularly in Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) and
Benefits Administration Outsourcing (BAO)
Service providers will invest in building robust analytics capability, especially to harness the power of social media

12. Banking, Financial Services, Insurance (BFSI):
Predictions for 2012
BFSI Macro Environment
Buyers’ focus on managing costs, tighter regulatory controls, and need for centralized IT-BPO environments will be the
key drivers for outsourcing activity in the BFSI sector – overall market expected to grow at 10-15% globally
Financial services buyers will look for balanced outcomes that focus on short-term objectives without compromising
long-term growth. This will drive provider portfolio consolidation as buyers opt for fewer and more strategic relationships
Growth
While the U.S. and UK will continue to be the largest markets for BFSI outsourcing, emerging geographies in Asia
Pacific and Latin America will contribute significantly more to growth in the segment
Within BFSI, banking will continue to account for the largest share of transactions, while capital markets will be the
fastest growing segment at ~15% YoY
Disruption
Multiple factors such as risk diversification, operational flexibility, and regulatory and risk management requirements will
cause a higher number of acquisitions and partnerships among service providers
The entire BFSI sector will have to realign its IT environment to face the impact of the wide-scale regulatory reform, and
minimize enterprise and credit risk exposure
In an increasingly competitive environment, providers will have to protect market share by enhancing local/regional
expertise and capitalize on emerging growth opportunities (new markets, new business models)
There will be an increase in adoption of technology-bundled BPO solutions (BPaaS) and a rise in transactional pricing
for BFSI BPO contracts

13. Banking, Financial Services, Insurance (BFSI):
BPO and AO Predictions for 2012
BFSI-BPO BFSI-AO
Within banking BPO, the rising cost of Restoring growth, improving profitability,
Banking servicing each loan, is causing lenders to and reducing operational complexity will be
seek out solutions that can help them the primary imperatives for banks, leading
standardize loan origination and convert to investments in legacy modernization,
fixed to variable costs; this will drive and ERP initiatives. In addition, adapting to
greater adoption of technology-enabled changing customer demands will create
BPO solutions within the lending segment demand in areas such as mobility, social
media, and channel integration
Beyond the back office, capital markets Managing trade volatility will be a key front
Capital
BPO will see increasing adoption in the office priority in the capital markets domain;
markets
mid office (regulatory compliance and mid and back office priorities will be more
reporting/order management and focused on reference data/position
processing) and for some services in the management and modernization
front office (research, analytics)
Within insurance BPO, the L&P segment Deteriorating underwriting results across
Insurance will see greater activity than P&C. The geographies will place increasing pressure
growth in L&P will be driven by large Tier-1 on insurance companies to invest in
insurers, while in the P&C segment it will sophisticated underwriting solutions
be driven by Tier-2/Tier-3 insurers
