Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO) Infrastructure Outsourcing Roadmap Market Update Preview January 2007
Summary of key messages IO background IO is a mature market that accounts for approximately 1/3 of the global outsourcing market; four service delivery models are prevalent on the market today IMO background IMO is the relatively new business model on the IO market, its growth is prompted by several technology and market driven factors While majority of IMO revenues are still with traditional suppliers, offshore IMO pure-play suppliers are gaining ground through aggressive use of labor arbitrage RIMO dynamics Remote Infrastructure Management Outsourcing (RIMO) market is growing at a fast rate with larger share of the growth coming from buyers renewing their contracts with significant scope increase (i.e., pilot approach) IMO adoption scenarios IMO market adoption can follow several scenarios, ranging from pure labor-arbitrage to enabler of the enterprise IT transformation and provider of transparency into IT infrastructure

Multiple models of Infrastructure Outsourcing have emerged over time EXAMPLE DATA CENTER Traditional Infrastructure Outsourcing Infrastructure Tower Outsourcing Application Hosting Services Infrastructure Management Outsourcing (IMO) Infrastructure Managed Services (IMS) Remote Infrastructure Mgmt Outsourcing (RIMO) Transfer of responsibility for entire IT towers (e.g., Data Center) including management and operations Assumption of delivery of several cross-tower functions related to operations and support of an application (e.g., SAP) Assumption of operational responsibility by supplier of certain of end-to-end functions related to the physical IT infrastructure Transfer of responsibility for delivery of Remote Infrastructure Management (RIM) tasks to an external supplier Example: Data Center Outsourcing Example: SAP hosting Example: Managed Backup Service Example: Server Monitoring Outsourcing Management Operations Software Outsourced Application Outsourced function Remote services Outsourced labor/task Hardware Data Center Data Center Network Data Center Data Center

Several catalysts prompted the emergence of Infrastructure Management Outsourcing Technology trends Emergence of distributed computing fuelled by interoperable platforms (e.g., Intel) allowed platform flexibility, but increased management complexity Open source code prompted value shift from software licensing to software support Remote management tools Remote infrastructure management, diagnostic and troubleshooting tools matured and became a norm in IT organizations Virtualization (server and storage) and backup tools automated functions that historically required proximity to the assets Organizational changes Cost savings efforts increasingly led to centralization of IT infrastructure functions, making IT infrastructure organizations more transparent and more susceptible to outsourcing

IMO is still nascent and can develop in several ways with varying degree of value created by suppliers Pure labor arbitrage play IMO as a service line will remain limited to delivering pure labor-arbitrage driven cost benefits without added value Infrastructure Management Outsourcing IMO-enabled IT transformation IMO will establish itself as a viable alternative to enabling IT infrastructure transformation Business value added IT transformation IMO suppliers will leverage their access to operations of multiple towers to develop capabilities to provide business users with added benefit of transparency into IT infrastructure
