Frank RidderI am just back from a great week in Las Vegas, where we held our 2009 Sourcing Summit. Our presentations focused around practical Multisourcing – so did my numerous discussions with clients and vendors.
With the availability of new options on the market (e.g. utility computing, cloud services) the complexity of sourcing increases as these options are ADD-ONs to traditional ways of sourcing IT. In order to get sustaining value from these new options, organizations have to update and improve their sourcing competencies. Gartner clients can learn more about them, their benefits and can even assess their current competency level. Optimized competencies enable organizations to integrate new with traditional sourcing options in a lean and effective way.
Practical Multisourcing, especially in crisis times will also be a key focus on our sourcing summit in June in London. See you there.

Multisourcing: Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket
Multisourcing is defined as outsourcing of processes or sub-processes to two or more parties. Multisourcing has something common with investing: The rule “Don’t put all your eggs in the same basket” holds true for both. It allows to avoid risks connected with dependence on one party and/or one geographical region
Just a few headlines in brief:
India: National Association of Software Services Companies (Nasscom) forecasts that the Indian outsourcing industry can potentially earn revenue of $225 billion by 2020 in a conservative variant or even $375 billion in an optimistic scenario.
China: According to the statistics provided by the second China International Service Outsourcing Cooperation Conference, in the first five months of 2009 the number of newly-established outsourcing companies in China stood at 1,057, bringing 246,000 new jobs and generating a profit of $3.52 billion, which is a 13.2 percent increase year-on-year.
