2012: Year-in-Review

Same as prediction

Similar but with some variations

Different than prediction

What we predicted at the beginning of 20121 1 Pricing pressures will squeeze providers margins, especially offshore, forcing investment in newer customer-centric solutions and innovative engagement models

How has the market fared to date?

Comments While BPO margins did go up somewhat, IT Services margins slipped modestly

Global sourcing leaders will seek new locations; Emerging geographies will continue attracting attention

Emerging geos continue to increase LATAM, Africa, Mid East, CEE

BPO markets will continue to grow at double-digit rates

Rates across BPO vary, but all remain robust - especially true in the case of BFSI BPO M&A in this space is about building out cloud breadth and depth enhanced value propositions to increase cloud appeal

Service providers will make strategic investments in driving value from cloud services moving beyond technical limitations and focusing on client adoption requirements

BPO | Key 2013 Predictions

The BPO world will be increasingly vertical

The adoption of SMAC in BPO will increase but will trail the hype; analytics will be the most sought after services within this stack

Macro-Themes for 2013: Summary

The realities of SMAC are taking hold

Buyer satisfaction validating the concept Adoption pace varies by market, IT layer, buyer segment Relevant across IT Services and BPO Driving services provider differentiation and supporting buyer competitiveness Expanded capabilities the target Consolidation will lead to newly formed competitive landscapes Clients seeking varied options for integrating geos, models, processes, etc. Cost and margin pressure will challenge providers, but buyer demand will be the key price driver

The march toward verticalization continues

M&A more about chess than checkers

Global sourcing continues pushing the variety & complexity of delivery models

Pricing remains in a dead-band, with limited movement on either side
