Information Services Group (ISG), a leading global technology research and advisory firm, released its Q4 2016 EMEA ISG Index, which reveals that growth in as-a-service sourcing accelerated across the region in 2016, driven by the increasing demand for digital solutions. The EMEA ISG Index, which measures commercial outsourcing contracts with an annual contract value of €4 million or more, shows that combined ACV in the (EMEA) market reached €11.8 billion in 2016, up 2 percent on 2015 totals. While traditional sourcing value in the region slumped to its lowest point since 2009, as-a-service ACV climbed to just over €3 billion, up 33 percent over the previous year.
