Insourcing & Right-souring

Insourcing & Right-souring

If an organisation’s IT function and its leadership is good enough, then it should be delivering these services to the organisation itself. Opting not to outsource can lead to significant cost savings as the outsourcer’s profit is eliminated, unnecessary interfaces removed and greater flexibility and control retained. There is now an emerging realisation that this approach is the correct one to take, as more companies choose to Back source services in order to regain these lost benefits.

CIO Plus has built up a sound reputation of delivering a Right-Sourcing strategy. For existing outsourcing deals that are not going to plan, we offer a Relationship Review service where we examine both the supply side and the demand side of the contract. In any effective outsourcing relationship you need to have a good supplier but you also need to be a good client too
Our impartial review and advice has resulted in significant step change improvements for our clients. Typically savings are in excess of 50% together with SLA improvements; but these benefits can be further enhanced to circa 70% when combined with the use of Global Service Delivery Centres.

CIO Plus has always advocated an approach to sourcing where any potential outsource deal is measured against a ‘bottom up’ build based on Best Practice to identify the real benefits of the proposed contract against a ‘do it yourself’ scenario. This method is unique to us because we have experts from both client and supplier sides of the industry coupled with a proven ability to transition services from underperforming contracts back in house. This experience based approach clearly differentiates us from Sourcing Advisory Companies who typically perpetuate the outsourcing cycle by advocating renegotiation or moving to another supplier.
