Welcome to the February 2007 issue of Offshore Insights. We continue to track the Services Globalization industry to provide you with the latest news, views and trends that shape the way services are purchased, delivered and managed around the world.

In the services globalization arena, managed service is a model where client organizations outsource the management and operation of support systems to external service providers. As options for managed services increase, companies are faced with decisions on whether to outsource certain support operations or to keep the work-in house by adding internal staff.

Transitioning from a Staff Augmentation Model to a Managed Services Model
By neoIT This report looks at the distinct advantages and disadvantages of a staff augmentation model versus a managed services model, and addresses a number of important questions that organizations should ask in the process:

What are the unique advantages and disadvantages of each model?
Is there an optimal combination of staff augmentation and managed services?
What is the best-practices approach to transitioning from a staff augmentation model to a managed services model?

The report provides current information on how organizations can successfully transition to a shared model, striking an optimal balance between staff augmentation and managed services. In addition, it highlights the emerging trends in managed services, which many companies are adopting, given increased pressures in business markets to grow and increase economies of scale without proportionally increasing costs.
