New Ovum research highlights opportunities for IT services providers in the UK IT outsourcing market
London – The UK IT outsourcing (ITO) market continues to present opportunities for large providers at the top end of the market, according to new research from global advisory and consulting firm Ovum. However smaller and niche suppliers are facing the toughest of conditions as opportunities fall into the hands of the largest players.
Ovum’s report titled, “UK IT outsourcing: opportunities in a recession”,shows that the ten biggest UK ITO providers have boosted their total contract value (TCV) of ITO deals signed in the first six months of the year by an impressive 31%. This is due to a combination of some new megadeals entering the market (BT’s £500m contract at the National Health Service, IBM and CSC’s c£300m deals at the Government’s Identity and Passport Service, and a £685m deal for HP-EDS at insurance giant Aviva) as well as many smaller sized deals that are increasingly encompassing a broader range of services.
