I have received this newswire which should make interesting reading to those
in the BPO sector. We need to build capacity for both the low-end functions
(call centre, data processing, etc) and the high-end (software development,
IT support etc) I believe we can do it.

JV> As the UK talks itself into a recessionary frame of mind on the back of
the US banks lending money to impoverished 'rednecks' who never stood a
chance of paying back the debt, it's refreshing to see that there are still
some old-style outsourcing mega-deals to be seen.

JV> End user workplace outsourcing on rise
The market for outsourced end user workplace services (EUWS) is fairly
mature in the US and Western Europe and many buy-side organizations are on
their second contract in this area, or expecting to renew between 2008 and
2010.

It has recently been reported that Virgin Media and rival broadcaster BSkyB
have resumed high-level talks in an attempt to resolve the dispute that led
to Virgin removing Sky channels from its pay-TV platform. However, a
resolution to the dispute looks some way off and the fight for the home TV
market looks set to continue into the near future. Given this fierce
competition, leading players in the telecommunications industry are
desperately looking for ways to tighten their belts in an attempt to gain
the upper hand over their rivals. With this in mind, Virgin's recent network
deal with BT Wholesale suggests that companies are looking to outsourcing
both as a way of cost-saving and improving efficiency.
The £98 million network deal between Virgin and BT Wholesale signifies how
the telecommunications industry is moving forward. The deal will see BT
Wholesale manage the operation and maintenance of Virgin's fixed-line
switching network, along with a number of existing support contracts. 184
Virgin Media staff will be transferred to BT, saving costs in both wages and
training.
Outsourcing within the telecommunications industry has traditionally been
focused on non-telecoms based companies outsourcing their telecoms needs to
companies like BT. Of course, this outsourcing of telecoms infrastructure
and telecoms management continues, because for companies that are not in the
telecoms space, this is most certainly not a core competency. However, the
BT-Virgin deal has heralded a new era of telecoms outsourcing as companies
within the telecoms industry look to outsource different elements of their
service which they do not specialise in - Virgin's speciality is not in
network infrastructure and therefore this outsourcing was a common sense,
albeit innovative, decision.
