Thoughtworks
In IT services it can be hard to differentiate yourself. It’s a people and numbers game and you just count the certification badges, right? That might be OK for bog-standard ‘your mess for less’ outsourcing but in specialist areas it’s still possible to be outstanding and Thoughtworks has built a tremendous reputation – especially in the creative/digital sector -- for taking a fresh look at problems and opportunities and for employing a highly agile development framework that can act as a catalyst for internal change also.

Liemur
Today there’s a lot of concern over cloud computing. Is it a security risk? What if you lose your internal clout? Will it make you redundant in the end? Couldn’t we just do something similar internally? The same concerns were aired over outsourcing 10 years ago and they must have been answered reasonably well because most large concerns today outsource IT to some extent. But the companies that are most attractive are those that have recognised the barriers -- cultural difficulties in offshoring, measuring ROI, maintaining a true partnership and so on -- and anticipated issues. Of the great many small companies I have met in the sector in the last couple of years I was most impressed by Liemur’s answers to these challenges.

Workday
Of all the newer companies delivering a pure software-as-a-service approach to applications, Workday is the one most worth watching. First, because its roots are interesting: many key staff including CEO Dave Duffield came from PeopleSoft so they know where the bodies are buried in ERP. Second, the company is well funded so needn’t sell out to the first predator that swims alongside. Third, large-scale ERP is often seen as protected from SaaS because you somehow ‘need’ it on premise. Workday will be the acid test.

InterXion
There’s no shortage of choice in datacentre co-location providers but they are not all created equal. InterXion differs from many in being carrier-neutral (so you can use your own telco), large, highly dispersed in key geographies and being able to serve a wide variety of sectors from algorithmic traders to firms who just need a place to back up and archive.

Reliance Globalcom
Vanco’s financial troubles of a couple of years back saw it rescued by Indian giant Reliance, thus saving the former’s innovative model of offering bundled communications providers to save cost, get access to best-of-breed providers in different geographies and have one company offer front-end service and billing. As globalisation and the web let companies grow from zero to large company in record time that’s a timely model.
