This was reported by Gartner Inc., world leader in research. Gartner presented its
analysis and trend in outsourcing at Symposium ITxpo in Barcelona, Spain.

According to Roger Cox, Managing Vice President, Gartner \"Last year saw a phenomenon
in Europe,Out of 15 one billion US dollar mega-deals signed in 2003, 10 were awarded
by Europe-based enterprises. Until 2003, Europe-based organisations had only signed
a total of 14 mega-deals since 1989.\" Vicepresident Ian Marriott mentioned that,
global outsourcing is becoming mainstream delivery model.

Potential cost advantages of outsourcing are such a high that, comapnies whicha are
not considering outsourcing seriously are harming their shareholders. On the other
hand, busienss also loose its competitive advantage and inability to focus on
growth.

It was also mentioned that, India is the prefeered destination for outsourcing,
although china and russia are picking up as strong contenders. Many other countries
are also eyeing the potential offshore software outsourcing business. Though
outsourcing boom was late in Europe compare to US, it is catching up well with year
2003 as turning point.

Mr. Marriot also mentioned, \"There is no doubt that the predicted shift in jobs
associated with global sourcing is a harsh reality. However, there is nothing new
about technology causing massive shifts in how and where people work. This is an
unavoidable outcome of how the global marketplace operates today and western
economies have been successful in navigating successive waves of economic
transformation in the past.\"

Gartner also mentioned need of investment in new skills for organizations to make
outsourcing work and that will create additional jobs.
