Steady growth for IT outsourcing over last years

According to a California-based IT industry research firm Computer Economics spending on outsourcing within IT industry increased from 3.8 percent in 2008 to 6.1 percent in 2009, and set to show even greater rise in 2010.

Technology and business companies are moving more of their IT spending to outsourcing, according to a new study, which may interest international contractors.

John Longwell, vice president of research for Computer Economics, a California-based IT research and advisory firm, said the recession has been one of the key reasons why firms are increasingly opting to outsource their IT functions.

However, new currents in IT industry such as Cloud computing contributed to the growth of subcontracting within the industry. "Cloud computing is a development that will result in more money being spent with outside service providers, regardless of the macroeconomic climate."

The report from another researcher REC Technology revealed that demand for people who work as an IT contractor is on the rise as well.

The steady growth of Technology in various applications has made a great impact on the growth of Software and IT outsourcing.But there is lots of competition between so many top companies who undertake these outsourcing contracts.so it rises as well.
