der vorstehenden privaten Beteiligungen, ICGCommerce ansieht, kommt man zu dem Ergebnis, dass die 140 Millionen Cash/Wertpapiere von Internet Capital und die 64% an ICGCommerce schon wesentlich mehr wert sind, als die momentane Marktkapitalisierung ausmacht. Gerade zu atemberaubend ist aber das Marktwachstum von 41% im Jahr, wodurch sich das Marktvolumen von 700 Millionen in 2008 auf 3,5 Milliarden in 2012 erhöhen wird.

Blog Post: What's the big deal about procurement outsourcing?
Be sure to read Paul Teague's blog post, What's the big deal about procurement outsourcing? It's available only on PurchasingBizConnect. As companies of all shapes and sizes look to reduce costs in the current recession, business process outsourcing has been getting a closer look, no matter what public opinion of the "O" word is. And procurement outsourcing is one of the fastest-growing areas of outsourcing.
It's no secret that outsourcing has a stigma attached to it. According to a recent survey from Capgemini, the overwhelming majority of senior executives polled (79%) agree that outsourcing jobs has a poor public opinion. Despite that acknowledgement, 72% of survey respondents said public opinion does have an impact on their decisions concerning outsourcing of business processes including procurement. And 65% of those polled said they wouldn't change their outsourcing strategy if public opinion of outsourcing improved.
Why do executives have such strong commitment to outsourcing? Because nearly three out of four executives polled feel outsourcing can help a company survive. And procurement outsourcing is key to some companies' survival strategies.
According to the recent Black Book of Outsourcing, a report complied by Brown-Wilson Group, a Datamonitor company, procurement outsourcing is the fastest growing back-office area of business process outsourcing. Procurement outsourcing spikes in recession

Why do executives have such strong commitment to outsourcing? Because nearly three out of four executives polled feel outsourcing can help a company survive. And procurement outsourcing is key to some companies' survival strategies.
According to the recent Black Book of Outsourcing, a report complied by Brown-Wilson Group, a Datamonitor company, procurement outsourcing is the fastest growing back-office area of business process outsourcing. The outsourced procurement solutions market is forecast to expand dramatically this year from $700 million in 2008 to an estimated $1.1 billion market this year. And it's expected to pass the $3.5 billion mark in 2012, representing a 41% compound annual growth rate.
In addition to the obvious desire to reduce overall costs, the Black Book research shows the growth in procurement outsourcing is due in large part to the fast return on outsourcing investment. In short, it's not just how much you save but how quickly you can save it in this economy.
The survey shows 92% of executives polled cited fast ROI in their decision to outsource some procurement function. And procurement outsourcing, in particular, "is catapulting ahead in BPO growth based largely on a fast ROI and highly satisfied clients."
The fast returns come because procurement services providers have established processes and contracts to leverage, says Capgemini in a recent report. "With the ‘dash for cash' pressure on businesses, many are now turning to service providers who offer the opportunity to accelerate benefits through established deals and efficient transactional processes."
Another trend is also driving procurement outsourcing. The emergence of Green or sustainable procurement. "Prospects and clients are turning to their outsourcing vendors to provide both cost effective processes with savings implementation AND environmentally-responsible/socially responsible compliance," the Black Book says.
The overwhelming majority of executives polled say their outsourcing decisions are not impacted by the stigma attached to outsourcing.
And while indirect spend remains the biggest focus area, "procurement outsourcing is now being tailored to include all aspects of the procurement lifecycle, from strategic sourcing and procurement operations (often extending to accounts payable) to the development and management of e-procurement platforms," says the Black Book.
And the broader the procurement outsourcing project, the more successful it typically is, in the eyes of the vendor as well as the customer. The Capgemini report points out that "in talking to outsourced providers we have found that the attraction of an arrangement is very much governed by size and economy of scale. Taking on a small number of categories or a discrete process often frustrates the ability to leverage economies of scale and holds little attraction because the difference to the overall bottom line is minimal. In this situation neither the service provider nor the customer gains real benefit."
According to the Black Book of Outsourcing the top procurement outsourcing provider this year is Indian vendor Genpact. The Black Book ranking is based on surveys of more than 2,800 senior procurement supply chain professionals who are asked to evaluate their vendor relationships based on 18 performance indicators.
And Genpact's spot on the top of the list is no fluke-Indian providers are gobbling up much of the rapidly growing procurement services market. Black Book authors point out that more than 77% of large scale procurement outsourcing arrangements went to Indian firms in the past year, while nearly half of deals at small to mid-sized firms went to Indian providers.
