An Interview with Ben Trowbridge, CEO and Managing Partner, Alsbridge North America
Q: Does the reported offer and pending sale of CSC and ACS indicate any trends?

BT: The reports we are all seeing may mark a watershed trend in the maturity of the outsourcing - and to a greater extent the professional services - industry and an inflection point on the end of the currently en vogue, arms length RFI/RFP process.
Each of these providers are brand names in their own right with strong customer bases and real strengths that can be leveraged, and private equity firms such as Texas Pacific Group and Blackstone are known to be savvy buyers. The fact that two of the outsourcing industry's major players are apparently under consideration could be the tip of the iceberg.
