An EquaSiis Market Assessment

Stan Lepeak, Managing Director, EquaSiis Global Research


The recently completed 2Q09 EquaTerra Pulse survey found that growth in buyer demand for outsourcing remained stable in the second quarter after a sharp increase at the beginning of this year. Global sourcing usage remains steady despite market noise to the contrary, though there is an uptick in demand for nearshore and onshore services and offshore services in locations other than India. The economy remains the dominant factor impacting demand and deal flow, mostly in a positive way.
