Description
IT sourcing, outsourcing, offshoring etc. can help to cut costs and gain more flexibility for the corporate IT. All IT sourcing activities have an evident influence on the whole IT organization. Therefore, it is important to find strategies and concepts for a global, standardized IT Provider and Vendor management. Only with a global and interdepartmental strategy with uniform rules about sourcing IT service and useful sourcing models for each application the company will strengthen their negotiating position against the IT-Service Provider. Without knowing the requirements, costs, risks and compliance and legal guidelines a useful decision concerning efficient IT sourcing is not possible. Out of this reason it is essential to consider issues like an IT sourcing governance, respectively a multi-sourcing governance, optimal second generation sourcing and how to participate financially on provider’s improvement. But also it can be recommended to in-source business critical IT services. Outsourcing wisdom used to be that you should not outsource anything that is “core” to your business and also not to leave IT services at a provider you can better, easier or cheaper handle yourself.
