The Yankee Group has had much success in addressing the needs of IT management and vendors for over 10 years. The evolving needs of our clients require strategic insight into the impact of all aspects of IT services. The Yankee Group is revamping this practice to reflect many of today's irreversible marketplace changes. This change also reflects the changes taking place within the Yankee Group's rapidly expanding e-business practices, and places emphasis on an enterprise's sourcing decisions.

Harry Tse, vice president of enterprise software for the Yankee Group's says, "Clients will continue to see broad research coverage in the area of IT services. Within Technology Management Strategies, the Yankee Group will continue to track trends and events in outsourcing, consulting, systems integration, and multivendor customer support, as well as CIO proclivities to buy versus make; and we will report periodically on the changing face of IT organizations." Tse adds, "We will continue to cover the overall impact of the Internet, particularly e-business issues. With this transition we will pay particular attention to the needs of CIOs."
