Numerous outsourcing companies released results following the end of the quarter, with Accenture (NYSE:ACN) leading the pack.  It was currency volatility, problems in Europe, and attrition which were some of the major issues that were raised with the release of results.  The general flavor in the outsourcing space has been that business in outsourcing is steadily on the rise with business process outsourcing and IT outsourcing coming into major play, with the big winners being Indian companies, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd (NSE:TCS), and HCL Technologies (NSE:HCLTECH), as well as company Xerox Inc (NYSE:XRX).

A few months back I wrote an article on how outsourcing has already been helping with cost reductions in the Healthcare Industry, and with the recent passing of the U.S. Healthcare Reform Bill, many are anticipating an increase in business opportunities in this sector.
