Our approach to IT sourcing seeks to ensure that service providers’ specialist capabilities are optimised to achieve the organisation’s goals. This requires deep experience across the full sourcing lifecycle.

How will IT Sourcing Services help you?

IT is without fail one of the biggest expense items on any balance sheet. Taking on the role of IT sourcing manager, can be bewildering and the expectations and responsibility is vast.

Typical Business Challenge

The actual returns frequently fall short of most parties’ initial expectations at some point during the sourcing relationship. Typical needs that arise include:

  • Setting sourcing strategy where pre-existing contracts and mix of insourced and outsourced services are failing to address current business needs, take advantage of emerging business models or exploit new technology opportunities.
  • Selecting the right supplier(s) and negotiating agreements with incentives and metrics that motivate appropriate performance.
  • Transitioning services, both on-boarding and off-boarding, including designing and building effective retained organisations.
  • Resetting underperforming supplier relationships, balancing the cost of poor delivery, risk to service and effort required from the organisation versus the likelihood of improvement, risk of change and disruption of early termination.
