Where does this software outsourcing data come from?

A research crawler reads public pages from software outsourcing and IT services companies. It records what each supplier states about its services, technologies, certifications, industries, and delivery model. The crawler follows robots.txt, collects no personal contact details, and stores a source page for every fact.

How many software outsourcing companies are in the study?

3,218 companies across 49 European countries, holding 128,303 current facts between them. 1,533 of those have a detailed profile, meaning they state at least three services and at least three technologies.

Which cloud platform do European outsourcing companies use most?

Microsoft Azure is named most often in this dataset. 1,382 companies mention Azure, compared with 1,123 for AWS and 741 for Google Cloud. The study records published claims only. It cannot measure production usage.

Is ISO 27001 or SOC 2 more common in Europe?

ISO 27001 is mentioned more often. 784 companies claim it, compared with 216 that claim SOC 2. ISO 27001 is a certifiable information security management standard. SOC 2 is an attestation report on controls. Buyers should verify the scope and current period of either document.

How many outsourcing companies publish case studies?

The crawl found at least one case study for 197 of 3,218 companies, or about 6%. It found none for the other 94%. A missing case study in this dataset means the crawler did not find one on the public site.
