Chief information officers must be prepared to source their IT from offshore
global locations or suffer competitive disadvantage, as emerging markets ramp up
their technology investments, according to analyst firm Gartner.
Speaking at the firm's
Emerging Trends
Symposium in Barcelona, Gartner vice president Partha Iyengar predicted that
the industry will witness a "borderless state" by 2015, with organisations
sourcing their software, hardware, telecoms, IT services and people from all
over the world.
A key driver in this trend is set to be emerging markets, where the amount
spent on IT will be twice that of mature markets, when calculated as a
percentage of GDP.
“Organisations must learn to trade and compete with these rapidly
transforming, highly organised companies, which leverage low-cost, highly
skilled labour sources," said Iyegar in a statement. "If they do not, they will
be at a significant competitive disadvantage."
