US companies are under tremendous pressure to reduce cost and increase revenue and therefore the impact on business process outsourcing would be fairly obvious. The need to offshore and outsource non core but essential business processes will stem from the need to cut costs and rationalize resources. Outsourcing will grow as this helps organizations to become nimble and efficient by offshoring as these are non-discretionary spending especially on IT. and related services.
