As companies try to trim and concentrate on core business, outsourcing and consulting will be an attractive offer. Benefits consulting is being consolidated (with the merger of Towers Perrin and Watson Wyatt) and I expect Hewitt Associates to jump at the opportunity to show their solidity as a company.

An unrecognized growth area is pension consulting. The recent financial issues are a spur for growth.

The company has three parts-benefits outsourcing, benefits BPO outsourcing (they run the HR part of the business for the company) and consulting. #1 and #3 are far more resistant to employee count declines that most think and I am confident that they have lowered expectations for #2 to the point where numbers can be beat. Easily worth $50, 11x eps, and with $200m of free cash flow, a true growth at reasonable price investment.

Company has enough cyclicality-real or not-that it should do well if the market gets in a economic recovery lovefest. If not, it is a solid business.

Companies trying to cut costs are outsourcing everything they can. HR is an easy way to go, as Hewitt can get economy of scale. I expect that in the next few years, even the government will start outsourcing a great deal of HR.
