We see this trend continuing for the foreseeable future, even against some economic headwinds. There is no let-up in sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/252508205\/Global-IT-outsourcing-sees-record-spending-and-no-sign-of-slowing\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.computerweekly.com\/news\/252508205\/Global-IT-outsourcing-sees-record-spending-and-no-sign-of-slowing\">told ComputerWeekly<\/a> that &#8220;our outlook for the technology and business services market remains bullish, with the volume of managed services deals in the pipeline indicating strong buying intentions among enterprises seeking digital transformation partners. The market is no longer dependent on larger deals and the smaller deals, we believe, will eventually grow into larger engagements as transformation efforts continue to pick up steam.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although, long-term, IDC is not as optimistic. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF002487\" data-type=\"URL\"

right) talent pool, expedited by the pandemic, global supply chain disruptions, and lose monetary policies, have created the perfect push and pull for enterprise buyers; therefore, our long-term growth outlook for the IT and business services market remains sanguine.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a class=\"lightsocial_a\"
