Additionally, the study provides a brief analysis of those trends affecting the outsourcing market as well as guidance on how players can compete most effectively. "2007 revealed a substantial softening of the megadeal market, as the percentage of total contract value constituted from megadeals declined from 65.1% in 2006 to 34.4% in 2007. The megadeal market declined 68.1% in absolute terms from $62.7 billion in 2006 to $20.0 billion in 2007. Additionally, there was a major shift to global and EMEA-based deals," said Terrance Strom, research analyst, IT Outsourcing and Utility Services at IDC. "While not declaring the demise of the megadeal, we may in fact be witnessing a cyclical saturation of the market. Service providers will need to continue to invest in lower cost and more flexible delivery models, wisely expand their global footprint, and focus on emerging markets as the source of material growth in the years to come."

According to a new study from IDC, the market grew 15.2% year on year to $365 million, down from nearly 40% annual growth in 2006. In local currency, IT services market growth was 5.9% in 2007, compared to 35.8% in 2006. IDC attributes the slower growth to parliamentary elections held in November 2007 and to a number of postponed IT services deals. In 2008, the Croatian IT services market is expected to decelerate even further, to 7.6% year-on-year growth, with total IT services spending reaching $393 million for the year.

This study updates the assumptions related to the forecast, summarizes market trends, and analyzes what has changed in the market since last year's forecast. In addition, this study provides recommendations for service firms competing in the open source services market. "The open source services opportunity is growing almost three times faster than the overall IT services industry," says Gard Little, program manager, Emerging Services Opportunities. "The size of the open source services market is small today, but customers, product and service providers, and investors are all exploiting the opportunities around open source."
