Contents

This Excel-base Data-rich Deliverable (DRD) that is part of the Government subscription includes market intelligence on IT: Outsourcing expenditures for Government. Compass Intelligence defines IT outsourcing as expenditures on services rendered by 3rd parties, including IT outsourcing companies. Government includes all establishments of the federal government, state governments, and local governments, which include county, municipal, township, school district, and special district governments. Three criteria are used to distinguish independent governmental organizations from each other: they must exist as an organized entity, possess a governmental character, such as having a high degree of responsibility to the public or the ability to levy taxes, and have substantial autonomy, including fiscal and administrative independence. Size of business includes SOHO (1-4 employees), Small Business (5-99 employees), Mid-Sized Business (100-999 employees), and Enterprise Business (Over 1000 employees). The Expert Guide for this DRD is Stephanie Atkinson. Forecasts are from 2005 through 2010 and include annual growth rates, as well as percentage of total market.
