Outsourcing Facilitation

A proven process that develops a successful outsourcing relationship. Technical, sourcing, and financial expertise work together to perform a comprehensive discovery and baseline development process to develop realistic requirements. Comprehensive financial models guide the selection of the right option and establish realistic, short-and long-term expectations. The collaborative solutioning process with suppliers optimizes alignment between supplier's "sweet spot" offerings and client requirements. RFP and proposal evaluation process results in supportable and implementatable recommendations. Negotiations result in an easy to understand and administer contract to guide the relationship into the future.
