Summary

This IDC study provides an overview of the status of the China IT services market and a forecast for the next five years. It also includes demand-side analysis, a competitive landscape with top vendors' rankings, as well as a segment market analysis. The study also provides recommendations for services providers in each IT services segment.

For outsourcing services, the dilemma in China is that labor costs are low, so the cost effectiveness of outsourcing, especially by global vendors, is not apparent. Clients' IT environments are currently very complicated and non-transparent; this makes it difficult to realize vendors' technical and managerial expertise. IDC suggests providing consulting services to help improve the IT operation level first and then using selective outsourcing to build up trust before outsourcing more. Managed services are also a very smart way to solve the control preference of clients in China. "In the long run, utility services will be well received by users due to the significant cost effectiveness and high expertise which users have difficulty obtaining in an internal IT department," says Grace Han, senior research manager, Software and Service, IDC China.
