  • ITO: Engineering Services Outsourcing; Aerospace, Automotive and Electronics Sectors Continue to Drive ESO Growth
    ITO: Engineering Services Outsourcing; Aerospace, Automotive and Electronics Sectors Continue to Drive ESO Growth Pratibha Verma Engineering work is becoming more and more internationalized and engineering companies are becoming increasingly global. There is increasing pressure on the part of European companies to reduce costs, which requires more innovative solutions from suppliers in order to keep a stable price level. As the global spending on overall engineering services (which includes design, manufacturing and field engineering areas) increases, many IT-BPO service providers have added specific engineering services to their offerings portfolio. These companies acquired the skill-sets, tools and experience from generic IT software and services, to evolve from providing basic data conversion, through 2D and 3D CAD/CAM/CA E, advanced simulation, prototyping, testing, PLM, product design (engineering), process engineering, plant automation and asset management services. Analysts note that companies in the electronics industry have recently become comfortable with outsourcing. "In the past three years, more work is getting outsourced," says Mukesh Dialani, Research Manager at IDC in Framingham, Mass. "At some level, confidence has grown in what engineering vendors have to offer. Outsourced engineering has been validated with successful outsourcing engagements." For some companies, particularly large manufacturers in the United States, design firms have become a source of specialized expertise. "One of the key benefits for Fortune 500 companies is the qualified engineering labor they get through outsourcing," says Dialani. "They go to third parties because they can get qualified labor and manage it cost effectively." "In some sectors such as aerospace, defense, and medical, companies are dealing with the aging workforce in the United States," said IDC's Dialani.
