Outsourcing services have transformed profoundly as a result of the pandemic; evolving client needs and operating models; the advent of new technologies such as digital, artificial intelligence, and machine learning; and, most recently, a severe talent shortage.

- Should enterprises hold firm for lower prices or give in to vendors’ higher rates?
- What levers can enterprises pull to stay within their overall IT or Business Services budgets?
