Abstract

Although IT outsourcing is a growing industry and a common topic in the literature, there is limited research which critically analyses and assesses the switching of IT outsourcing providers – in particular the factors contributing to success are under-researched. This article explores this growing area of management and consultancy activity by analyzing the existing literature in the field. This allows the identification of critical success factors that are pertinent to the switching of providers and provides recommendations for a successful transition.
