Abstract

Enterprises commonly outsource all or part of their IT to vendors as a way to reduce the cost of IT, to accurately estimate what they spend on IT, and to improve its effectiveness. These contracts vary in complexity from the outsourcing of a world-wide IT function to smaller, country-specific, deals.
