10 outsourcing trends to watch

These are posed as current trends, moves that are taking place now or soon (CIO.com)
My take on the 10 trends, I'm being selective here, as follows in terms of value added...

1. Getting to grips with inter-supplier cooperation (this is hard but strategic if you can do it)
2. More hybrid entities (JVs, partnerships, captives)
3. Return to insourcing (because location still important)
4. Clients regain ownership of integration (because you can't outsource responsibility)
5. Infrastructure, operations, devOps, goes to India (standardised hardware, cloud, and operations)
6. Cloud becomes a commodity market (bad for differentiation strategy based on cloud)
7. Consulting becomes a commodity market (bad for consultancy firms, price pressure)
8. The rise of new machines (new tech keeps our inner geek happy)
