Business Platforms are supposed to represent the “fusion of the benefits provided by standard business processes, Cloud computing and SaaS in a singular managed service delivery model”.
They are supposed to represent the very future of outsourcing and where our industry is headed: more automated process, more solutions in the Cloud and engagements priced by outcomes and volumes, not wage rates and grunt work.
Well… you’ve heard all the hype about “Business Platforms”, now it’s time for the real talk:
