TPI Momentum 2009 Market Trends & Insights Vertical Industries Report Now Available |
TPI Momentum 2009 Market Trends & Insights Vertical Industries Report, which presents a comprehensive look at outsourcing activity in 26 key sectors of the economy, is now available for purchase. This detailed global report combines proprietary market data with commentary from TPI expert advisors and is designed to help service providers and market watchers identify the latest critical market trends and opportunities.
There are two primary factors that characterize market opportunity: the number of companies in the sector that have an active outsourcing contract (outsourcing penetration) and the degree to which they rely on outsourcing to drive their business objectives (average spending per company).
Among the findings:
- Of the 26 industries studied, nine are identified as strong
candidates for prospecting activities. Among these, the Media sector has
recently seen strong adoption of outsourcing across mid-market companies
as well as increasing spending levels among companies with active ITO /
BPO contracts. This recent increase in outsourcing activity is likely to
continue as Media companies face significant market pressure and seek
opportunities for short-term cost savings.
- In terms of the number of companies represented, the Aerospace &
Defense sector is the smallest of the 26 sectors analyzed, yet it
remains a strong market for outsourcing. In fact, 68 percent of the
companies within this space have an active outsourcing contract with a
total contract value (TCV) of $25 million or more — the highest
percentage of all verticals studied. Outsourcing activity is likely to
be affected in the coming months due to a variety of changes in the
sector including acquisition reform, an expected labor shortage and
forecasted 2010 U.S. government budget cuts.
- TPI has observed that the larger companies in the Consumer Durables
space tend to be experienced outsourcers. Because these companies have
been hit particularly hard by the reduction in consumer spending, they
are likely to seek outsourcing opportunities in areas they have not
strongly considered in the past. When making outsourcing decisions, TPI
has observed that Consumer Durables companies are increasingly focused
on the long-term financial viability of the service providers
considered, adding another layer of complexity to the selling
process.

Case Study
TPI Helps Wyeth Make Sense of Spot Buying Via Customized Procurement Outsourcing Process
TPI teamed up with Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, a global leader in pharmaceuticals, consumer healthcare products and animal healthcare products, for a multi-function IT and BPO project that specifically addressed procurement outsourcing. While Wyeth’s strategic sourcing organization was highly centralized and competent, its decentralized transaction processing and spot-buying functions — conducted by requisition staff comparatively untrained in procurement — were less efficient and presented opportunities for savings.
With guidance from TPI, Wyeth pursued a solution that isolated spot buying from traditional procurement transactions, designating a new, cost-justified process to fill the niche between proactive strategic sourcing and transaction processing.

Blog Desktop Support While Outsourcing
by Lynn Alley, Director, TPI
Thanks to TPI Top 5 reader Ryan H. for suggesting our latest topic.
One of the most frequently outsourced business support functions is the desktop environment. Companies commonly combine desktop sourcing with their infrastructure services and service desk(s). Generally, the main cost drivers for outsourcing desktop support services revolve around the locations where people require support and receive services — whether it’s at the service desk, remote support or onsite. In a pure desktop environment, these five components tend to represent the highest costs on a per-seat, per-month basis:
