We develop a futre strategy for the entire sourcing lifecycle in your IT ecosystem
From Target Models to Sourcing Strategy
Potential target models are designed, compared with the market and evaluated, leading with the roadmap of measures in to the sourcing strategy.
In order to make the systems and processes of IT value chains resilient, the entire IT sourcing life cycle must be designed to be robust and flexible.
Our Approach
A) Target Model Scenarios
Knowledge of the status quo, for example with documents and KPIs, vertical integration and services, stakeholders and requirements as well as costs, is required for the possible target model. An additional analysis of the business, regulatory, technical and market environment provides transparency about dependencies and broadens the view of the outsourcing capability of the required services.
B) Target Model and Concept
- Vertical integration and service demarcation
- Service provision e.g. in-house, SaaS, managed service, public cloud, PaaS, extended workbench
- Bundling or lots
- Potential service providers
- Target cost determination
C) Sourcing Readiness
- Retained organisation with roles, tools & processes
- Staffing levels and skills
- Needs for action by means of assessment in 12 dimensions
D) Sourcing Roadmap
- Transferring and consolidating action requirements into measures
- Prioritising and categorising
- Implementing the measures agreed on the IT roadmap
