Synthèse

The global IT outsourcing market has seen an upward trend, particularly characterized by the growth of the "as-a-service" model, which gained momentum during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the increased need for cloud-based solutions that support remote working and e-commerce. By 2020, over 67% of businesses have opted for outsourcing, with a notable shift from traditional managed services to cloud-based services, which offer resilience, adaptability and flexible contracts. In France, annual contract value (ACV) rose by 15% to €1.3 billion, but the managed services segment saw an 11% quarter-on-quarter decline at the end of the second quarter, totaling a 25.4% reduction. Despite the decline in managed services, spending on as-a-service arrangements rose by 13% in the second quarter of 2020.

globally, ACV reached US$55.7 billion, with a significant increase to US$14.8 billion in Q1 2020 from US$10.8 billion, demonstrating the market's robust growth rate. The move towards cloud-based models and the need to comply with data protection regulations are driving this expansion. Prices for these services vary, with indicative costs starting from €20 per workstation per month, and preliminary audits from €650.

Trends in demand for outsourcing services in France

The outsourcing market in France is demonstrating steady growth and structural changes driven by the digital transformation of businesses. The sector is progressing dynamically. Digitization and digital transformation are the main forces driving demand for outsourcing, as they result in a growing need for high-performance IT systems, modernization of existing systems and enhanced security measures. Companies are increasingly opting for outsourcing to achieve these improvements, with IBM noting that over the next two years, digital transformation will significantly affect corporate IT infrastructure. A study by research institute Whitelane revealed stability and growing interest in outsourcing, with almost 60% of companies surveyed planning to maintain or increase their outsourcing activities.

Cost reduction remains a compelling motivation for outsourcing, illustrated by studies estimating cost savings of around 31% over one year to 33% over three years as a result of outsourcing. The profile of outsourcing customers is expanding beyond large corporations to include small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Analyst firm Canalys has observed a 25% annual increase in spending by SMEs on managed services in France. The financial sector, along with the utilities and professional services sectors, has been a major catalyst for growth in the outsourcing market. Sectors such as telecoms, media, healthcare and pharmaceuticals are also actively embracing outsourcing, and offer higher growth potential.

The trend towards "as-a-service" models, mainly in cloud computing, is becoming more important, while managed services are in decline. The coronavirus crisis has accentuated this shift towards "as-a-service" offerings, driven by the need for cloud-based solutions to support remote working and adapt to market uncertainties. Notably, in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, managed services experienced a slowdown, but the overall market remained robust due to the increased adoption of as-a-service solutions. Prices for outsourcing services vary, with monthly maintenance costs starting at 20 euros per workstation and 50 euros per server. On-site interventions generally incur additional charges, starting at 60 euros per hour or more depending on location, with rates for a full day amounting to a minimum of 250 euros. In short, the French outsourcing services market is characterized by its responsiveness.

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and scope of the study

Outsourcing refers to the outsourcing of information systems management. It involves entrusting an external service provider with the management, operation, security and maintenance of your IT assets.

The IT sector covers three branches: software publishing, technology consulting and IT services.

The IT services branch itself comprises three categories: consulting services (outside expertise relating to the improvement of information systems), systemsengineering and integragration (design and development of information systems) andoutsourcing (management of information systems).

Outsourcing covers a wide range of services , the nature and scope of which can vary from one service provider to another.

However, it is possible to identify the main types of outsourcing:

  • Application
  • Operational
  • Global
  • Partial

In addition, outsourcing is often equated with managed services, whereas historically, outsourcing has been based on a reactive, curative approach.reactive approach (the outsourcer does not anticipate problems, but manages those already present), while managed servicesmanaged services, on the other hand, take a proactive approach (the managed services provider identifies anomalies before they create problems, and supports the customer in developing its IT system).

In this study, we will consider outsourcing as IT outsourcing in the broadest sense, comprising two segments: managed services and as-a-service.

In 2022, in France, the annual value of digital service companies (outsourcing, cloud, IT, etc.) increased by 15.5% compared to 2021. While the outsourcing market has been growing strongly for several years, and can therefore be described as structural, it is changing both nationally and globally. Indeed, managed services are experiencing a negative dynamic, in favor of services-as-a-service, whose growth is likely to be further reinforced as a result of the coronavirus crisis.

In 2008, the emergence of new technologies, in particular remote servers (Cloud), initiated a transformation of the outsourcing market. In addition to the option of using a service provider to manage information systems (managed services), there is now the possibility of using a service provider who remotely manages information systems and delivers them to the customer via an Internet connection (as-a-service).

Managed services providers can carry out the tasks entrusted to them either on their own premises, if the customer's system is hosted there, or via a link enabling remote intervention, or on the customer's premises.

Originally, outsourcing was motivated by a desire to reduce costs. Nowadays, the aim is to improve IT systems to optimize performance and focus on core business.

By 2020, over 67% of companies had opted for outsourcing to simplify their network and IT management. This trend was confirmed in 2021, with 70% of companies announcing that they wished to make greater use of outsourcing services[Infologo, ITStack]
