08:15pm | Reality of Non-Linear Growth The services industry is in the beginning stages of shifting to what can be called "non-linear" models of services consumption and delivery. Some of the more common names to describe non-linear services include cloud and platform-based BPO. The impact of this shift will result in fundamental changes to the structure of the IT, communications and business process services industries as well as the structure of the providers that deliver these services. This session will take a look at how non-linear services differ from the more traditional "linear" services markets; what is the structure of a non-linear services industry; and what are strategic building blocks in creating a winning non-linear business, such as cloud factories, integrated digital services supply chains, sense-and-respond business operations, new "last mile" channels, and application services catalogues.  | David Tapper Vice President, Outsourcing and Offshore Services Market Research, IDC, USA |
