The Engineering Research & Development (ER&D) industry is increasingly using the global sourcing ecosystem to meet the increasing talent requirements across the dynamic skills landscape. Engineering service providers have gained significance due to this changing enterprise mindset, owing to their ability to provide on-demand scalability, proprietary solutions, infrastructure, and ecosystem access. High digital engineering demand among enterprises is further driving them to increase their reliance on the outsourcing ecosystem. Amid the increasing relevance of outsourcing partners and their involvement in strategic workstreams, enterprises need to review how they engage with and manage these providers.
The Engineering Services Outsourcing Handbook examines the engineering services landscape and various engineering outsourcing practices, including outsourcing suitability factors, delivery models, vendor tiering, engagement and pricing constructs, and governance mechanisms. It will serve as a yardstick for enterprise decision-makers as they review their outsourcing portfolios and practices.
