According to a recent study by French analytical company Pierre Audoin Consultants (PAC), the growth rate of Russian IT services market is a bit lower compared to IDC calculations and it wasn’t half as high as in 2006 and increased by 18% only (vs 47.2% according to IDC). However, PAC’s estimation of IT services market volume equals to that by IDC: approximately 3 billion euro or 4.4 billion dollars. Nevertheless, PAC admits that even with 18% growth rate in 2007 Russian IT services market is the fastest growing in the world. Its growth surpasses IT services market growth rate in Western (6.6% in 2007) and even Eastern Europe (15% in 2007). Local integrators who participated in IDC survey don’t question its correctness.

A new study by Ernst & Young completed last month found that Europeans are becoming more open to outsourcing . Being one of the few research works analyzing Europe’s openness towards outsourcing, the study showed that outsourcing was being used by 70 per cent of the European firms surveyed. The British are, however, likely to outsource only a few standard functions, while the French and Belgians are open to outsourcing a wide range of functions. Also, compared to 70 per cent of respondents that had at least one outsourcing relationship, only 49 per cent of respondents cited cost savings and higher productivity (revenue earned per employee) as the advantage of outsourcing for their organization. About 33 per cent identified better quality through use of specialized skills

Outsourcing Software Development: The Old "Follow the Sun" Pitch
I just saw a great video on the Scrum methodology delivered by Ken Schwaber at Google back in 2006. Scrum is like having a gun to your head ; if you can’t produce results, be transparent, look for the simplest solution, adhere to strict deadlines, be held accountable, work incrementally and iteratively, respond to dynamic change, and deliver quality, you, your project, your company, and your career are dead. It’s not all gloom and doom though, you’ll be surprised at what you can come up with if you actually do follow this methodology.
