Every year, we survey Morrison & Foerster’s Global Sourcing Group lawyers around the world to create a snapshot of the current state of the global outsourcing market and to identify emerging trends that are likely to shape that market over the next 12 months. This year our lawyers comment on the challenges of cloud-based outsourcing, driving long-term value in engagements, and vendor profitability, as well as the impact of such factors as the recent U.S. presidential election, cross-border deals, growing regulation, and the proliferation of employee-owned technology in the workplace.
