Key findings from the 2022 study:
75% of organisations in Spain are planning to maintain or increase their level of outsourcing in the next two years, with 40% confirming that they will outsource more. The manufacturing and public sector predict the most outsourcing, with almost one in two organisations planning to outsource more. In contrast, only one in four respondents from the consumer goods and retail and energy/utilities sectors plan to outsource more.
For the first time in this study, insourcing plans have increased significantly, doubling from 5% to 10%, the highest figure to date. The majority (68%) are turning to insource to achieve faster time to market and improved quality outcomes.
40%
Respondents planning to outsource more
More scalability to business needs remains the number one driver for organisations planning to outsource more (60%) in Spain. Access to resources/talent is the second driver, cited by almost one in two respondents (48%), followed jointly by business transformation and access to innovation (both at 43%).

84% of survey respondents plan to move to the public cloud to achieve more agility and scalability. Although almost 50% report that less than 10% of the applications portfolio currently runs on a public cloud platform (significantly higher than the European average of 18%), one-third of participants predict that 50% or more of their applications will be in the cloud in two years.
Cloud management and integration is the weakest client governance capability, with 29% of respondents stating that very significant improvements are required within their organisation. Service providers agree, although to a much greater extent, with 67% answering that very serious improvements are necessary.
