WHITE PAPERS

Ciklum presents a general review of the most thought-provoking predictions for the European IT Outsourcing Industry in 2012. While it is yet too early to make any forecasts for the 2012 European ITO market volume, increase or decrease in outsourcing activity and the overall IT spending, it is still possible to identify some of the trends that will most likely be ruling the market throughout this year.

As traditional offshore services continue to disappoint and organisations face having to reabsorb their IT development activities, near-shore providers in eastern European countries are stepping in. Not only are the cost arguments as strong or even stronger than traditional outsourcing, but the nearshoring model gives back a level of control to the customer that has been badly lacking and costly until now, says Craig Wilson, MD of Ciklum UK.

Copenhagen, Denmark - 21 April 2010 - Ciklum, the European leader in IT nearshoring for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), presents a white paper that answers the question how Western European small and mid-sized companies can best leverage their IT outsourcing goals with a combination of Nearshoring and Agile development.
