UK loses its position as Europe's leading outsourcer

According to TPI's latest index of the European outsourcing market the UK is no longer the biggest spending.

In fact it has not only been usurped by Germany, France and Sweden.

France was boosted by a big deal signed by SNCF and a single deal in Sweden doubled its over all spend.

TPI would not say who the Swedish customer was but it could be engineering firm ABB, which singed a deal with IBM.
