How does your outsourcer stack up? Learn how more than 300 business-technology professionals rated 12 outsourcers in InformationWeek Research's Analyzing the Outsourcers report. Use this report to evaluate current and future outsourcing partners and to benchmark your organization's outsourcing plans for 2005.
Which outsourcer overdelivers on its promises? We asked customers of the largest outsourcers to evaluate their partners on expertise, reliability and a host of additional service and sourcing criteria.

InformationWeek Research's Analyzing the Outsourcers report includes the results of more than 300 customer evaluations. Business-technology professionals involved in determining, administering or managing one or more of their organization's relationships with IT outsourcers evaluated at least one of the following 12 outsourcers:

  • Accenture
  • Bearing Point (formerly KPMG Consulting)
  • Cap Gemini
  • Computer Sciences Corporation
  • Deloitte Consulting (Braxton)
  • EDS
  • Hewlett-Packard
  • IBM Global Services
  • Infosys
  • Tata
  • Unisys
  • Wipro

The study evaluates customer satisfaction across ten important criteria, including:

  • Availability of Experts/specialists
  • Cost/Value
  • Innovation
  • Range of service offerings
  • Reliability
  • SLAs
  • Strategic advice
  • Training/amount of experience
  • Vendor Reputation
  • Vertical industry knowledge

The results of these customer evaluations as well as outsourcing spending levels and factors driving outsourcing are included in this 14-page report. Use this study to understand strengths and weaknesses of outsourcers based upon customer evaluations and also to benchmark your organization's outsourcing plans.
