Outsourcing Trends That Will Impact Businesses in 2020

2. Doubling down on data privacy and cybersecurity

More and more companies outsource their tech and data projects, service providers are working on the double to ensure the robustness and integrity of their IT infrastructure, including data repositories. In fact, 48% of respondents from the same study claimed that they’re increasing IT security outsourcing to boost their defenses.
