The war in Ukraine and political tensions around the globe, namely in India, China and Russia, have also impacted the IT outsourcing landscape, the report said.

This means that at a time when there's a growing need for IT leaders to look to outsourcing to find talent, "they're also experiencing a decrease in access to some of their top outsourcing locations," the report said.

The report posits that "American organizations are beginning to look more at domestic partners after years of them predominantly outsourcing overseas.

Due to a dearth of web developers, it comes as no surprise web development is the top area for outsourcing, the report noted.

"The cost benefits of outsourcing IT are traditionally what's driven organizations to do it, and send work overseas to countries like Ukraine, Russia and India where talent is less expensive," said Natalie Kaminski, co-founder and CEO of JetRockets.

JetRockets said its study findings were based on responses from more than 400 U.S. based IT leaders in CIO and CTO roles to analyze their views on IT outsourcing and how they plan to leverage third-party vendors in the year ahead. Read next: Offshore work policy.
