Provider strategy: single-provider vs. multi-provider/ best-of-breed approach depending on the internal maturity of the provider management and the sourcing strategy
Implementation planning: Measures for the outsourcing of IT services as well as the internal improvement of the sourcing readiness (provider management)

Sourcing Readiness

Are you ready for sourcing?

Successful outsourcing cannot be taken for granted. Within the framework of provider management, the contractual provision of services must be controlled and monitored, whereby a good cooperation between the provider and the client is necessary at the operational level. Before initiating any sourcing measures, the internal organization should therefore be set up accordingly when it comes to provider management. In the first step, we recommend analyzing the internal sourcing capability and implementing related improvement measures. Our reference model for provider management covers all aspects, functions and roles for an efficient service integration of internal and external service providers as well as service recipients.
