Summary

This Government Insights study presents the background and change to the"build-or-buy"strategic information and communication technology (ICT) sourcing environment in the Asia/Pacific (excluding Japan) or APEJ government sector.

This study discusses the issues of public sector ICT sourcing and provides benchmarked models and illustrations from countries both in the APEJ and Western Europe.

"Build-or-buy ICT strategic sourcing remains the key dilemma for economies in the APEJ regions. The potential space for outsourcing still remains potentially untapped. Increasingly, the presence of international funding bodies in emerging economies present huge opportunities for the private sphere to participate and exchange its expertise with governments. However, countries like Hong Kong and India have been known to fully exploit the outsourcing markets in order to meet their resource constraints, whether in technological expertise or the scarcity of labor,"says Gerald Wang, market analyst, Government Insights Asia/Pacific.
