Key Findings
The era of traditional outsourcing is coming to an end; there is a quantum shift towards
adoption of disruptive solutions such as cloud and RPA to enable competitive advantage
Organizations are motivating service providers to innovate rather than just improving
the back office functions
A majority of respondents are adopting cloud with the objective of increasing innovation
and speed to market, and improving performance
A majority of respondents have adopted, or are planning to adopt, RPA. Their key
objectives are to improve performance, increase speed to market, and reduce errors
The most common challenges with adopting disruptive solutions are data migration,
security requirements, application optimization, organizational resistance, highly
fragmented processes, and regulatory compliance

Motivating service providers to innovate
Organizations are proactively motivating their service providers to innovate by moving additional services to them,
adding innovation terms into their contract, and by rewarding compensation as they innovate. These three
proactive levers saw a 2x increase between 2016 and 2018

While organizations expect some reduction in annual operating costs by moving to cloud, only two thirds are
motivated to switch to cloud solely to cut costs. In fact, one third are willing to accept a cost increase if doing
so will allow them to increase innovation and improve speed / time to market

Executives driving cloud adoption
Cloud initiatives are frequently driven by the CIO/CTO, but they are equally driven by the rest of the C-Suite, suggesting
that senior executives see cloud as a means to improve business performance rather than just a technology play

Cyber risks and controls for outsourcing
Nearly all respondents (95 percent) have cyber risk measures in place. Approximately one-third of organizations
contractually enforce data risk and security protocols with their providers and conduct period evaluations and audits.
Emphasis on periodic evaluations has increased from 28% in 2016 to 34% in 2018, this may be the reason why
respondents are passing audits with fewer material issues

Impact of outsourcing on Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A)
Overall, there is a significant increase in respondents using outsourcing to enhance M&A efforts —
from 45% in 2016 to 68% in 2018. The most common use of outsourcing in M&A is to reduce the need
for transition service agreements, increase the speed with which the acquired organizations are
integrated, and to lower operating costs

Four of the top five responses indicate that organizations are looking to change their existing sourcing process and take a
more structured approach. This is unsurprising, since adoption of disruptive solutions needs to be supported by disruptive
sourcing processes, including more innovative service providers, more nimble contracts, and stronger, more advanced
governance
