outsourcing 看来开始out了.
比如说通用汽车公司吧,要从90%的outsourcing 变成90%的insourcing,也就是说,
所有的IT活都要在自己公司里干了。
相对于来自阿三的竞争来说,这个新的潮流对中国的技术猥琐男有好处吗?
Today, about 90% of GM's IT services, from running data centers to writing
applications, are provided by outsourcing companies such as HP/EDS, IBM,
Capgemini, and Wipro, and only 10% are done by GM employees. Mott plans to
flip those percentages in about three years--to 90% GM staff, 10%
outsourcers.
Insourcing IT on that scale will require GM to go on a hiring binge for
software developers, project managers, database experts, business analysts,
and other IT pros over the next three years. As part of that effort, it
plans to create three new software development centers, all of them in the U
.S. IT outsourcers, including GM's one-time captive provider, EDS, face the
loss of contracts once valued at up to $3 billion a year.
This dramatic move away from outsourcing is just one piece of the "IT
transformation" Mott is leading, which includes consolidating data centers
and applications, centralizing IT planning and execution, and getting a
better grip on GM's customer and production data. GM's IT transformation
doesn't emphasize budget cuts but instead centers on delivering more value
from IT, much faster. In many ways, the foundation Mott is laying is similar
to the one Ford started laying four or five years ago as part of its One
Ford/One IT initiative.
