Customer satisfaction is important to outsourcing success and hence outsourcing contract continuation. However, with an increasingly competitive environment and a reportedly low success rate, maximizing customer satisfaction naturally tops the challenge chart for IT outsourcing vendors. This paper describes a research-in-progress that aims at first identifying the factors that influence customer satisfaction and then systematically classifying the factors into five different categories of quality defined in Kano�s Theory of Attractive Quality. Once this study is completed, the research findings, specifically the classification, will be a contribution to the body of knowledge in IT outsourcing. The classification will also be valuable to vendors that want to satisfy their customers within the constraint of limited resources.
