Background and scope of the research Background of the research The MPHRO market witnessed an uptake in new deal signings in 2012 compared to last two years, with increased momentum from emerging markets (especially Asia Pacific) and the mid-market in North America. With the SMAC (social media, mobile solutions, analytics, and cloud/platform/saas offerings) phenomenon making a mark in the MPHRO space, the high interest around third-party SaaS-based (especially Workday) solution turned into actual adoption. Buyers expectations continue to increase and they are increasingly seeking advanced analytics, better change management, and other value-added services in their solution mix. On the other side, service provider landscape continues to undergo major flux with newer entrants, provider exits, and a high M&A activity. In such a dynamic space, providers need to align their offerings and capabilities to up the buyer experience and satisfaction levels. In this research, we analyze the MPHRO market across various dimensions: Market overview and key regional trends Buyer adoption and solution trends Service provider landscape Outlook for 2013 The scope of analyses includes: HRO deals in which a minimum of three HR processes are included All MPHRO deals signed as of November 2012 The buyer employee size is 3,000 or more All geographies and industries 3

Summary of key messages (page 1 of 3) Market overview and key regional trends The current MPHRO market shows interesting dichotomy reflected in the following: While the new deal volume is up compared to the last two years, the market grew at a modest pace of 2% in 2012 Though the developed markets (North America and Europe) are still underpenetrated, the emerging markets (especially Asia Pacific) are growing faster Similar trend is observed in the large market (>15,000 employees) vs. mid-market (3,000-15,000 employees) where mid-market is growing faster though there is ample head room for potential growth in the large market Scope expansion over the course of the relationship (either mid-way or during end-of-term) shows definitive buyer satisfaction, though deal terminations indicate that the MPHRO model continued to be refined to create alignment with buyers objectives In terms of key regional trends Mid-market organizations drove growth in North America, the largest market for MPHRO. Higher acceptance of standardized solution, enabled by increasingly mature platform- / SaaS-based MPHRO solution, is helping in making the business case work in mid-market Local and regional deals characterized EMEA activity. Beyond United Kingdom, Continental Europe and Middle East saw increased adoption compared to the past Notwithstanding unique challenges, MPHRO is fast finding acceptance in the emerging markets with local-headquartered buyers leading the way in recent times MPHRO market growth across geographies US$ billion 1.62 1.49 North America 1.04 1.12 EMEA 0.34 0.27 Asia Pacific 2009 2012 x% CAGR 0.09 0.11 Latin America 7
Summary of key messages (page 2 of 3) Buyer adoption and solution trends Standardization, cost reduction, and access to better technology continue to remain critical drivers for MPHRO However, in mature geographies, buyers increasingly look for value-added services (such as mobility, analytics solutions, and chat features) The contract length for the deals signed in 2012 increased marginally. Buyers in emerging economies are cautious in their approach and sign shorter deals compared to their western counterparts Buyers approach HRO in a phased manner from a process scope perspective. Talent management components are often included in the second phase of the MPHRO arrangement The SMAC (social media, mobile solutions, analytics, and cloud/platform/saas offerings) phenomenon is making its mark in the MPHRO space. There is an increasing pull for these from the buyer community though current maturity of these components differ Beyond providers proprietary and ERP-based Business-Process-as-a- Service (BPaaS) solutions, the high interest around third-party SaaS-based (especially Workday) solutions is turning into actual adoption in MPHRO Within HR analytics, buyers want to move beyond basic reporting and increasingly seek advanced analytics (mainly descriptive analytics) in their solution mix Global sourcing is an integral part of MPHRO construct now. While India continues to be the location of choice, Southeast Asia and Latin America are emerging as other global sourcing destinations Average contract length in MPHRO deals Number of years 7 6 5 4 Up to 2006 Average = 6 years 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 Impact of SMAC phenomenon in MPHRO space Social media Mobility Cloud Analytic 8
