Innovation has begun to require a high level of training and rapid adaptation to the trends of the digital era, and in this regard, managers are in dire need of rapid training. Human capital has come to the fore, so consulting and outsourcing services have become quite popular and necessary tools for managing an enterprise. In the article we have explained the essence of the concepts of "outsourcing" and "consulting". We have considered the main motives of the management personnel, regarding the transition to outsourcing, ie delegation of certain business processes to an outsourced organization - the executor. We have learned that outsourcing services can be broadly divided into two parts: business process (both manufacturing and non-manufacturing) and outsourcing of IT services. Based on this classification, we have analyzed the world market and identified trends in the use of outsourcing by species in Ukraine. In our work we have identified the main types of consulting services and historical prerequisites for their development. Having analyzed the international rating editions, we have found out modern trends of consulting services, and analyzed the market in Ukraine.

IT-consulting is a kind of outsourcing services, which are characterized by the provision of advisory assistance in the field of information technology. IT-enterprises are consulting for IT-consulting, which are planning to take the business to a higher level. Despite the fact that the IT-consulting market is characterized by a high level of competition, not all firms that provide IT-services have a high organization of internal business processes. An urgent issue requiring research is the search for ways to improve the efficiency of IT-consulting firms. Currently, the agro-industrial complex, like any other sphere of business, does not do without information technology. Software solutions for automation of agrarian enterprises are characterized by features that are determined by the specifics of agricultural production processes. For agriculture, IT-solutions are needed, developed for certain segments - plant growing, livestock, processing, production, etc. In order to increase the efficiency of agribusiness, in terms of reducing operating costs and production costs, the most promising direction is the application of management systems and optimization of production processes. In view of the fact that in agricultural enterprises there are often no specialists with the necessary skills for setting up and maintaining already established software solutions, there is a need to consult IT-consulting services. The functions of IT-consulting are as follows: - selection of software for solving specific problems of the agricultural enterprise; - training in working with special software;- adaptation of agricultural software to the needs of the enterprise. The work of the consultants of IT consulting companies should be to find the most suitable software solution and inform the company’s management of the importance of using complex products in production, the advantages of automation of management processes, and also to train qualified personnel and

Nowadays, Web services are emerging as a major technology for achieving automated interactions between distributed and heterogeneous applications (Benatallah, Sheng, & Dumas, 2003). Various technologies are behind this achievement including WSDL, UDDI, and SOAP1. (Curbera, Duftler, Khalaf et. al. 2002) These technologies aim at supporting the definition of services2, their advertisement, and their binding for triggering purposes. The advantages of Web services have already been demonstrated and highlight their capacity to be composed into high-level business process (Benatallah et al., 2003). Usually, composite services (CS) denote business processes and are meant to be offered to users who have needs to satisfy.

A marked development in the last decade has been the growth of “virtual organizations” (or “extended enterprises”), where a network of service supplier and vendor firms cooperates to create customer value. One form of cooperation is described as business process outsourcing (BPO). A business process involves several interrelated activities performed with the goal of generating customer value. Because of the growth in e-collaboration tools, it is now possible for firms to outsource even core business processes to external vendors. Examples of processes typically outsourced include logistics, customer support, human resources, and back-office accounting functions. BPO and the value networks created by vendors and purchasers hold the promise of substantial business benefits associated with specialization and scale. These include reduced costs, greater business flexibility, and higher service quality. According to the Gartner Group, the world market for BPO services is likely to increase from $100 billion in 2002 to $173 billion by 2007(Gartner, 2004).

Process maps provide a high-level overview of an organization?s business processes. While used for many years in different shapes and forms, there is little shared understanding of the concept and its relationship to business process architecture. In this paper, we position the concept of process map within the domain of architecture description. By ?architecting? the concept of business process map, we identify and clarify diverging views of this concept as found in the literature and set requirements for describing process maps. A meta-model for a process mapping language is produced as a result. The proposed meta-model allows investigating the suitability of EA modelling languages as a basis for defining a domain-specific language for process mapping along with the creation of a better understanding of business process architecture in relation to enterprise architecture, which can be beneficial for both BPM and EA professionals.
