According to the Forrester Global Tech Industry 2018 Report

The IT market has been steadily growing on a year-on-year basis: Outsourcing: USD 537 bln Tech consulting and integration services: USD 637 bln Total USD 1,174 bln accounting for almost 36.5% of all the tech industries. The only faster growing sector is softwear.

In today’s universe of IT, outsourcing has become one of the principal MOs for customers and independent contractors. But finding each other is far from being fast and easy! Why?

Customer’s challenges:
1) Making competent choice is difficult
Many customers know little or nothing about the IT. They just want their project, as they see it, done. With no competence in the field and no transparent rating systems it’s almost a mission impossible!

2) Fear of deceit
Lack of guarantees, remote mode of interaction with the contractor and relatively long production cycle make customers weary and nervous.

3) Unrealistic expectations
Wrong perception of what is possible, incorrect assessment of the scope of work and risks not only complicate any project’s realization but often render it unfulfillable.

Contractors’ Challenges:
1) Inability to prove competence
Lack of transparent evaluation and rating systems in the industry often does not allow companies to prove their competence and professionalism which becomes an obstacle in their search of new customers.

2) International market penetration
Accessing new markets in the IT field is a costly and complicated endevour while lack of knowledge and awareness of market conditions, language and particular features in any specific foreign country creates additional barriers.

3) No hot leads
Processing a large number of cold leads hugely increases operational costs, duration of closing deals and makes it difficult to forecast financial feasibility and profitability.
