Canadian Outsourcing Trends Douglas Long – Marketing Director, Canada
March 20, 2009
Canadian approach vs rest of the world • US (and most of Europe’s) outsourcing journey has been application development IT maintenance infrastructure and IT-enabled BPO • Canadian experience began with hosted infrastrucutre and progressed through wholesale ITO to app dev and maintenance
March 20, 2009

Monolithic vs disaggregated • First-generation contracts tended to be large and long-lived • Now seeing move away from single-sourcing • Greater emphasis on best-in-class providers • Potentially more complex governance issues for multisourced and cosourced outsourcing agreements
March 20, 2009

Canadian delivery, offshore or global sourcing • Canada’s homegrown outsourcers and divisions of infrastructure players – Telus, Bell, CGI
• US-based global majors with Canadian presence – IBM, HP (HP/EDS), CSC, KPMG/PwC/Deloitte etc
• Consulting businesses of software vendors – Oracle, SAP, Microsoft, IBM
• Global players headquartered outside US – Tata, Infosys, Wipro; Accenture; BT/Syntegra; Siemens; etc Many implications for global delivery in terms of governance, accountability, data protection/security etc March 20, 2009

Increasing maturity in types of services provided • Application development & maintenance – Systems development and integration – Y2k, legacy management, platform migration/re-engineering – Move from T&M to turnkey/fixed price commercial models

Global CRM Outsourcing Market

Principal growth occurring in APAC and EMEA. APAC and EMEA will collectively constitute 55% of this market by 2012, up from 46% in 2006
–
North American customer care market will diminish (i) proportionately relative to other regions, and (ii) in AP terms - due to growth in North American companies adopting offshoring as well as increasing adoption of self-service solutions which further reduces the need for domestic customer care APs
• Financial services, manufacturing and Telco clients will remain the majority of outsourced contact center users, accounting for ~70% share –
The dominance of these three verticals, in the proportion of APs, will remain till 2012
–
In NA, the retail sector is also expected to increase its share of outsourced APs through this period. Among emerging sectors, public sector and health care are slated for expansion

Contract Challenges
March 20, 2009
19
Traditional Contracting Approach • Customers define all the process requirements and specific performance metrics to a great detail • Retain ability to create new service levels to address uncovered areas or new business requirements • Include complex performance based service credits to protect business performance • Seek account team continuity and impose workforce turnover limitations to retain knowledge base and quality of service • Try to own all IP – customer developed, vendor developer or co-developed. Seek transfer of software ownership rights upon development, rather than delivery or payment – protect software WIP • Include obligations on the supplier to provide and maintain a plan for dealing with the termination of the contract, and the transition from one vendor to another • Seek provisions relating to step-in to allow for the customer, or a third party on behalf of the customer, to take over the services for a period of time or terminate services in case of a disruption to or deterioration of the services • Right to multiple audits to detect and correct supplier performance, supplier financial stability or even maintain favorable terms
March 20, 2009
20
Traditional Contracting Approach • Customers want –
To ensure complete control over operations
–
Transfer all the risk to the supplier
–
Have multiple remedies to resort to in the event of a default
• In short seek total protection! • Suppliers would like to have –
Longer term contracts with high barriers to exit
–
Minimal performance risks
–
No performance improvement obligations
–
Annual inflation linked price increases
The adversarial relationship begins! March 20, 2009
21
Nature of Outsourcing Relationship • Interdependent –
Both need each other to grow and prosper
–
Not a zero sum game - Success is mutual and failure is collective
–
Needs aligned goals
• Scope, scale and nature of service evolve over the relationship –
This cannot be predicted upfront and contracts should have the flexibility to allow this evolution
• Allocate risks and responsibilities to allow both parties to perform, especially when things go wrong
