Gartner says 30% of IT services to be industrialised by 2015

Monday sees the annual Gartner Outsourcing Summit in London. This year's two day event will be at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge hotel in London.

What will be Gartner's message?

I will be there in Monday and will go Tuesday if it proves to god to miss so I will blog from the event.

But here is a taster of what is to come. This is a sneak preview from Gartner vice president and distinguished analyst Claudio Da Rold:

"Ten years ago, we accurately predicted turbulent and revolutionary changes in how users buy and providers deliver IT services and developed a framework, the "Four Worlds of Services", which has proven to be a highly effective representation of the major dynamics of the IT services market for both buyers and providers. Our vision was based on the expectation of a long-term transformation of this market through the concept of "tectonic shifts" -- that is, relatively long periods of quiet and preparation, followed by a sudden change."

"Today we see how the industrialisation tectonic shift is clearly ongoing and accelerating, after having achieved the point of no-return and more than 50 per cent of the expected impact. Due to the accelerated signals of the development of cloud-based services and technology, we forecast that by 2015 industrialised services will represent more than 30 per cent of the IT services market."
