    Since the inception of Global Business Services (GBS), organizations have been refining their resourcing models, balancing in-house operations, outsourcing, or a hybrid resourcing approach. This hybrid model strategically combines the strengths of in-house and outsourced resources, enabling enterprises to achieve greater agility, cost efficiency, and improved service delivery. In this report, we interview leading GBS organizations to examine the intricacies of managing the hybrid resourcing model. The report highlights enterprise challenges, such as viewing outsourcing providers through a master-servant lens rather than as strategic partners, which limits collaboration. To address these challenges, we recommend adopting a unified service delivery model incorporating a central strategy team, workforce planning through HR, and a unified delivery team. This research offers businesses insights to maximize their hybrid model’s potential, foster sustainable partnerships, and drive long-term success in today’s dynamic global environment. Scope All industries and geographies Contents In this report, we examine: The hybrid model’s combined in-house and outsourced strengths How unified service delivery fosters strategic partnerships Actionable guide for driving business success Note: Everest Group publishes Executive Briefs for senior executives from enterprises. These briefs address hot industry topics and particularly challenging issues of the day in an easy-to-digest format.

    Often, deal conversations are impacted by cost and margin pressures across geographies. Standard and commodity IT service rates, as well as ACV/TCV reduction for managed services, are likely to decrease in the coming year, making it vital for service providers to account for this decline in ongoing or near-term bids. In this insightful webinar, Everest Group experts Parul Jain, Manish Malik, Harshit Mittal, and Ricky Sundrani explored the price and cost forecasts for the next 6 to 12 months across key categories, such as Applications, Infrastructure, and BPO services, across locations such as North America, Europe, and India. The team discussed whether leveraging low-cost locations might be the ideal route for deal fee reduction for service providers, as well as other levers for managing this predicted cost and price decline. From this webinar, attendees understood the latest standings on leading global service delivery locations, key factors driving price and cost changes, and the best strategies for navigating changing markets and mitigating margin erosion. What questions did the webinar answer for the participants? What are the key market trends influencing the shoring and sourcing decisions in 2024? What are the price and cost changes expected over the next 6-12 months, and what will drive these changes? How will they impact the overall commercial deals, and what are service providers doing to navigate through these changes (such as leveraging low-cost locations, gen AI, etc.)? How are service providers managing potentially shrinking margins?
