Full ITO Lifecycle
Some outsourcing advisors are largely transaction orientated – focusing purely on supplier selection and commercials of the deal. For us this is a given, but we also provide advice, guidance and support at each phase of the IT outsourcing life cycle. This includes:
Sourcing strategy - the right approach for your unique situation. We'll work through the options with you to create and gain commitment to the chosen strategy, with measurable business cases and practical, implementable plans.
Solution design - the blueprint for your IT organisation, showing the detail of the outsourced elements, internally delivered services, the retained organisation and how they fit together around your key business processes.
Supplier Selection & Contracting – we test the market, identify potential suppliers, develop RFPs, manage the evaluation process and help structure, negotiate and operationalise the contract.
Transition- we support our clients in carrying out their transition responsibilities, including programme management, knowledge transfer and governance … reducing value-leakag post-contract.
Change Management and beyond - Alsbridge can be there to help embed the IT outsourcing relationship and foster stronger working relationships between your teams, your customers and your suppliers.
Optimisation & Renegotiation- we review deals mid-term, and help to identify and eliminate problem areas. We help clients develop and execute their “end of term” strategies – renegotiate, re-tender or bring in-house.
Our experience is that organisations getting the most value from their outsource deal do so by following a whole lifecycle approach. Clients getting ITO right realise that the deal is not a one-off transaction but requires an ongoing collaborative approach with their suppliers.
