The MPHRO market witnessed a marginal increase in growth in 2013 compared to 2012. This was driven mainly by mega-sized deal signings (covering over 50,000 employees) and increasing activity from Asia Pacific-based buyers. Multi-country deals, especially global, increased. This is a demonstration of buyer confidence in the “large multi-country comprehensive HRO”.
Third-party BPaaS (process + SaaS) solutions had a big/significant impact on MPHRO deals and Analytics emerged beyond the “theory of text-books” with real-world examples. On the other side, service providers of Indian-heritage have broken the tag of “new players” and are getting recognized by both buyers and competitors. Other service providers are adopting new strategies, such as increased focus on single-process HR, investing in enhanced offerings, etc., to deal with the slowing MPHRO market.
