Market Report, July 2005, 1836 €

Description

IntroductionHorizontal BPO services are, overall, further advanced in terms of market development than the more sector-specific vertical BPO services.

Datamonitor views this as a more or less nascent market which, despite drawing on the more fragmented first wave of horizontal services, is in the early stages of growth.Procurement is set to be the fastest growing horizontal BPO function to 2008.
Procurement is moving towards including more strategic aspects such as supplier selection and technology integration of suppliers.
Seen as a strong cost play, the procurement BPO segment will benefit from a good fit with FSIs' strongly efficiency-driven strategies.Increasing vendor credibility has been a key enabler of the move towards a more strategic approach to horizontal BPO.
Specifically this has been driven by M&A among horizontal BPO vendors and IT services companies making significant acquisitions in the market.Reasons to PurchaseUnderstand drivers and barriers to take-up to enhance sales success in the FS horizontal BPO market segmentImprove positioning in the horizontal BPO market with detailed knowledge of competitors and market perceptionsUnderstand the dynamics and growth potential of outsourced central enterprise services to improve marketing and sales efficiency
