PwC targets managed services opportunity

‘More than ⅔ of top performing companies are using managed services for strategic advantage or to close capability gaps.’* To meet the evolving needs for transforming their businesses, companies are evolving beyond legacy, labour arbitrage outsourcing arrangements. Top-performing organizations are turning to a more strategic set of managed services to access talent and technology, and to go beyond labour and cost efficiency to achieve greater innovation and higher performance. The outcome is that these organizations develop a competitive edge that will be hard to beat.

David Allen, Partner, Global Managed Services Market Activation Leader, PwC UK, said, "Organisations, more than ever before, are facing unprecedented challenges to transform their business model at pace.

It claims that customers are now not only using managed services to achieve cost savings, but are now looking to gain a competitive advantage or to close capability gaps through outsourcing managed services functions to third-party providers.’
