What is Outsourcing?
• Outsourcing is delegating the responsibility for performing
an information technology or business function to a third
party
• You outsource because the outsourcing supplier will do:
− What the organisation currently does
− At the same or better level of performance
− For the same or lower price
April 3, 2011 6
Potential Advantages of Managed Services
• Better Use of Staff: allows agencies to focus human
resources on strategic planning and core mission support
• Cost Savings: choose not to build and support IT and
network infrastructure available in the commercial sector;
use limited capital to purchase needed service levels and
reduce total cost of ownership
• Ability to Use Optimal Technologies: adjust types and mix
of hardware, software, skilled labour, capital investment
and technology to support changes in mission needs
• Rapid Response to Organisation and Business Changes:
supplier is measured by ability to produce solutions
April 3, 2011 7
Types of Outsourcing Arrangement
• Efficiency/Utility (Make it Cheaper) arrangement outsourcing
focuses primarily on cost control and, over time, cost reduction, with
the goal of maintaining consistency in the delivery of services
• Business Enhancement (Make it Better) arrangement is about
business productivity. The organisation’s performance, as compared
with their competitors, will improve, resulting in movement toward
defined business goals
• Transformational (Make me Money) arrangement is characterised
by a partnership between the service provider and service recipient
that is focused on innovation and new business, changing the very
basis on which an organisation competes
April 3, 2011 8
Benefits of Managed Services
• Managed Services offers an alternative approach for a client to acquire IT or telecom
support services
− Managed services solutions are designed and delivered by service providers according to a
predefined statement of deliverables and generally includes end-to-end service, service level
agreements, and assets (if desired)
• A managed service typically includes monthly recurring service-based pricing offering a
more predictable cost approach for the client
• Ongoing visibility of operational performance is provided and managed through pre-agreed
performance parameters (known as service-level agreements)
− The client may include their unique performance requirements such as degree of control and
visibility, security, availability, capacity, service continuity and other requirements as it relates to
the specific service
• Because this is a core competency, the service provider is able to optimise the best balance
of facilities, processes, resources, tools, and metrics, resulting in the best overall value for
the client
− Cost effectiveness is typically achieved through instituting process standards and establishing and
supporting a standard operating environment (SOE) consisting of COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf)
services and solutions
• Managed services can be delivered either in a BOCO (Business-owned, contractor-
operated) or COCO (contractor-owned, contractor-operated) model and is largely based on
client preference

Outsourcing Organisations - Developing a Vision for
IT Services is Required
• What do we do today?
• What do our customers want us to do?
• What changes do we need to make to align with our
customers needs?
• How will they pay for those services?
• How will we deliver those services consistently and
measure their delivery?
• What kind of organisation (Governance/Contract
Management/Structures/Staff/Skills/Service Providers) will
we need to achieve it?
• What service management processes we should use?

Outsourcing Experiences
• 13% to 25% of outsourcing contracts are brought in-house
within the first two years
• Buyers replace 80% of their service contractors in the first
three years
• Contractors turn over 40% of their contracts each year, on
average
• Nearly 70% outsourcing organisations feel their service
provider does adequately understand what they are
supposed to do
• Not good
April 3, 2011 12
Key Issues For Successful Outsourcing
• Many outsourcing relationships fail, are terminated early,
are unsatisfactory to either or both of the service provider
and the client
• Outsourcing is a business issues and should be treated as
such
• Many common issues, problems and concerns arise across
outsourcing contracts
• Learn from the issues to avoid them
April 3, 2011 13
Hidden Costs of Outsourcing
• Transfer of knowledge
− Processes and procedures
− Documentation
− Personal knowledge
• Quality issues and their resolution
− Inspection programmes
− Sustaining quality programmes
− Cost of rework
• Communication
− Poor customer service
− Daily operational issues
April 3, 2011 14
Cease's Law on the Nature of the Firm
• A firm will tend to expand until the cost of organizing an extra transaction within the firm
become equal to the costs of carrying out the same transaction on the open market
• This means when it is cheaper to buy the service externally it will generally be bought
externally
• However there is an assumption of perfect knowledge and perfectly rational use of this
knowledge to achieve the most logical solution
• In reality this perfection is rarely if ever achieved
− Other less rational factors affect the decision
• Everybody Else Is Doing It
• I Want To Do It So It Appears On My Resume
• I Like New Technology
• Vendors Keep Talking About It
• I Need One Good Idea To Stamp My Mark On The Organization
• It Will Solve All My Problems
• I Hate Dealing With IT
• I Do Not Want to Setup a Large IT Function
• Cost estimates are rarely accurate
− What we know about most projects is that they either or both overrun on costs and deliver less
than expected
− Cost overruns are generally caused by a mix of errors in the initial cost estimates and deliberate
distortions in order to cause the decision to be made
April 3, 2011 15
Transaction Costs
• Along with production costs, there are costs for preparing, entering into and monitoring the
execution of all kinds of contracts as well as costs for implementing allocation and tracking
measures for the contracted services
• When internal transaction costs become greater than the costs of externally sourcing the
service, the service will be obtained externally
• There are hidden costs associated with sourcing a service externally
− Selecting the wrong supplier
− Costs of writing contract
− Costs of enforcing contract
− Having a poor service contract that results in hidden cost and/or reduced service
− Overlooking personnel issues
− Loosing control over the outsourced activity
− Management, quality assurance and supervision overhead
− Implementation and termination costs
− Loss of flexibility
− Loss of integration between applications and data
− Data extraction costs
− Security framework implementation
• Transition to utility computing model requires full knowledge of costs – current and future
• Note that anything can be outsourced except the management of what is
outsourced
April 3, 2011 16
Outsourcing Planning
• Structured approach can form the basis for an outsourcing
implementation plan for both service providers and for
companies performing outsourcing

• Flawed Service Provider Selection = Project Failure Starts
Here
• Unclear Contract = Conflict Begins Here

• Outsourcing provider may conduct activities that are
inconsistent with the overall strategic goals of the
outsourcer
• Outsourcer fails to implement appropriate and effective
oversight of the outsourcing provider
• Outsourcer has inadequate expertise to oversee the
outsourcing provider
April 3, 2011 22
Reputational Risks
• Outsourcing provider delivers a poor service
• Outsourcer’s customer service does not meet expectations
in areas serviced by outsourcing provider
• Outsourcing provider practices do not comply with stated
practices of outsourcer
April 3, 2011 23

impact outsourcer
• Outsourcing provider has inadequate financial capacity to
fulfil obligations and/or provide remedies in the event of
failure or breach
• Outsourcing provider experiences fraud or error
• Outsourcer experiences difficulties or high costs in
undertaking inspections
April 3, 2011 25
Termination Risks
• Outsourcer has no exit strategy are not in place because of
from over-reliance on one provider or the loss of relevant
in-house skills
• Ability to return services from outsourcing provider is
difficult, time-consuming or costly because of a lack of
staff or loss of intellectual capacity
April 3, 2011 26
Financial Risks
• Inadequate cost controls and charging mechanism leads to
unexpectedly higher costs for outsourcer
• Changes to services requested from outsourcing provider
are very expensive
April 3, 2011 27
Country Risks

• Incorrect selection of applicable legal jurisdiction
April 3, 2011 28
Access Risks
• Outsourcing arrangement negatively impacts ability to
provide accurate and timely information
• There is an additional layer of complexity in understanding
activities of the outsourcing provider
April 3, 2011 29
Concentration/Systemic Risks
• Concentration of services from multiple outsourcers in
small number of outsourcing providers can mean lack of
control by individual outsourcer and overall systemic risk
April 3, 2011 30
Lessons Learned from Outsourcing Problems
• Smoothly Transferring Services And Resources
− Common cause of failure is the ineffective management of the transfer of services and
resources to the service provider, leading to service delivery problems
− Successful service providers rigorously control the transfer of services and resources to
ensure that the new service is able to adequately deliver the service and the service
continuity is maintained.
• Maintaining Stakeholder Expectations
− Common source of failure in outsourcing engagements is a difference in expectations
between the client, the service provider and the suppliers and partners
− Identifying and managing those expectations helps to ensure a common understanding
of what is necessary for success
• Translating Implicit And Explicit Needs Into Defined Requirements With Agreed
Upon Levels Of Quality
− Frequent cause of failure in outsourcing is that the service provider does not fully
understand the needs of the client
− Successful service providers rigorously gather and analyse the stated and unstated
needs, then translate those needs into a set of documented requirements
− Successful service providers also recognise that needs change over time and establish
provisions for gathering and analysing modifications to their services
April 3, 2011 31
Lessons Learned from Outsourcing Problems
• Reviewing Service Design And Deployment To Ensure An Adequate
Coverage Of The Client’s Requirements
− Failure in outsourcing is caused by the service provider not fully addressing the
needs of the client
− To ensure that the service delivery will meet the client’s needs successful
engagements include rigorous reviews of the service design and deployment
activities by the clients and the service provider prior to service delivery
• Managing Client’s Security
− Managing security and controlling critical data and assets are critical to
establishing trust
− Security management includes protection of intellectual property,
confidentiality and privacy concerns
• Monitoring And Controlling Activities To Consistently Meet The
Service Delivery Commitments
− Successful service providers rigorously monitor their service delivery activities
to ensure that the client’s commitments are being met
− Actions are taken to resolve and prevent problems, thereby escalating issues
as appropriate to ensure that they are addressed in a timely basis
April 3, 2011 32
Lessons Learned from Outsourcing Problems
• Monitoring And Managing Client’s And End User’s Satisfaction
− Success is not always defined in terms of meeting the agreed upon commitments,
because clients and end users may be unsatisfied even when commitments are being
met
− Successful outsourcing engagements monitor the satisfaction levels of the stakeholders
to identify problems and take action
• Managing Employee Satisfaction, Motivation, And Retention
− IT-enabled outsourcing often involves challenges during transition, deployment and
service delivery
− High employee turnover jeopardises the service provider’s ability to meet its client’s
requirements and undermines their expected gains and performance levels
− Proactively monitoring and managing employee satisfaction and motivation can
improve personnel retention and effectiveness
• Managing Technological Shifts And Maintaining The Availability, Reliability,
Accessibility, And Security Of Technology
− Technology is a key component of outsourcing
− Major challenges for the service provider include keeping pace with rapid changes in
technology and effectively managing the technology infrastructure while changes are
incorporated
April 3, 2011 33
Principles of Outsourcing
• Need a comprehensive policy to guide the assessment of whether and how activities can be
appropriately outsourced
• Senior management needs to be responsible for outsourcing policy and related overall
responsibility for activities undertaken under the policy
• Need to establish a comprehensive outsourcing risk management programme to address
the outsourced activities and the relationship with the service provider
• Need to ensure that outsourcing arrangements does diminish its ability to fulfil obligations
to customers and stakeholders
• Need to conduct appropriate due diligence in selecting outsourcing service providers
• Outsourcing relationship needs to be governed by contract that clearly describes all
material aspects of the outsourcing arrangement, including the rights, responsibilities and
expectations of all parties
• Need to establish and maintain contingency plans, including a plan for availability and
disaster recovery and regular testing of backup arrangements
• Need to take appropriate steps to ensure that outsourcing providers protect confidential
information from intentional or inadvertent disclosure
• Need to be aware of the potential risks posed where the activities of multiple outsourcers
entities are concentrated within a small number of outsourcing providers

April 3, 2011 74
Issue 1 - Establishing And Maintaining Trust With
Stakeholders
• Building a trusting relationship with stakeholders is critical
to success
• Important for all suppliers and partners involved in the
outsourcing relationship – hardware, software,
communications, services
• By effectively managing expectations and responding to
personnel, clients and end-users, service provider
establishes trust with its stake- holders to help establish
long-term relationships
April 3, 2011 75
Issue 2 - Managing Stakeholder Expectations
• Differences in expectations between the client, the service
provider and the suppliers and partners is a common
source of failure
• Identifying and managing those expectations helps to
ensure a common understanding of what is necessary for
success
April 3, 2011 76
Issue 3 - Translating Implicit And Explicit Needs Into Defined
Requirements With Agreed-Upon Levels Of Quality
• Frequent cause of failure in outsourcing is that the service
provider does not fully understand the needs of the client
− Inability of clients to adequately express their needs
− Lack of rigor by the service provider in gathering and analysing
those needs
• Successful service providers rigorously gather and analyse
the stated and unstated needs
− Translate those needs into a set of documented requirements
• Successful providers also recognise that needs change over
time and establish provisions for gathering and analysing
modifications to their services
April 3, 2011 77
Issue 4 - Establishing Well-Defined Contracts With
Stakeholders, Including Clients, Suppliers And Partners
• Poorly written contracts are a common cause of failure
and result in a large number of contracts being
renegotiated
• Outsourcing arrangements are typically long-term in
nature and require contracts that are clear and detailed as
well as being flexible enough to account for business
changes
• Formal mechanisms are required in order for the provider
to identify changing needs, modify services based on those
changes and amend contracts to reflect the current
requirements and commitments
April 3, 2011 78
Issue 5 - Reviewing Service Design And Deployment
To Ensure Adequate Coverage Of The Requirements
• Failure in outsourcing can be caused by the service
provider not fully addressing the needs of the client
• To ensure that the service delivery will meet the client’s
needs, successful engagements include rigorous reviews of
the service design and deployment activities by the clients
and the service provider prior to service delivery
April 3, 2011 79
Issue 6 - Ensuring The Effectiveness Of Interactions
With Stakeholders
• Large-scale outsourcing often involves a combination of
face-to-face and remote interactions
• Interactions with clients need to be managed in order to
effectively understand their needs
• Clear communications with all stakeholders can have a
strong positive impact on the ability to effectively perform
work
April 3, 2011 80
Issue 7 - Managing Supplier And Partner
Relationships To Ensure That Commitments Are Met
• Outsourcing engagements can include multiple service
providers working together to meet the client’s needs
• Regardless of the type of relationship suppliers and
partners can have a significant impact on the effectiveness
of the service delivery and they must be actively managed
April 3, 2011 81
Issue 8 - Ensuring Compliance With Statutory And
Regulatory Requirements
• Service providers are often faced with the need to comply
with a large variety of laws and regulations
• Effectively operating in this environment requires rigorous
analysis and management of all applicable legal
requirements to protect themselves and their clients
April 3, 2011 82
Issue 9 - Managing Clients’ Security
• Managing security and controlling critical data and assets
are critical to establishing trust
• Security management includes protection of intellectual
property, confidentiality and privacy concerns
• Breakdowns, such as security breaches, can impact the
service provider’s ability to provide adequate service and
can irreparably damage the relationship with the client
April 3, 2011 83
Issue 10 - Managing Cultural Differences Between
Stakeholders
• In large-scale outsourcing there are many potential
cultural differences between service providers, clients,
end-users, suppliers and partners
• These include differences between country, region and
organisational culture
• These differences need to be identified and addressed in
order to guard against breakdowns in communication
April 3, 2011 84
Issue 11 - Monitoring And Controlling Activities To
Consistently Meet The Service Delivery Commitments
• Successful service providers monitor their service delivery
activities to ensure that the client’s commitments are
being met
• Actions are taken to resolve and prevent problems,
thereby escalating issues as appropriate to ensure that
they are addressed in a timely basis
April 3, 2011 85
Issue 12 - Monitoring And Managing Clients’ And
End-Users’ Satisfaction
• Success is not always defined in terms of meeting the
agreed-upon commitments because clients and end-users
may be unsatisfied even when commitments are being
met
• Successful outsourcing engagements monitor the
satisfaction levels of the stakeholders to identify problems
and take action
April 3, 2011 86
Issue 13 - Building And Maintaining The Competencies That
Enable Personnel To Effectively Perform Their Roles And
Responsibilities
• Outsourcing is often highly dependant on specialised
competencies without which personnel cannot effectively
perform the work assigned to them
• Service providers need to manage the competencies of
individuals as well as the workforce as a whole in order to
ensure that work is effectively performed and that the
client’s requirements are met.
April 3, 2011 87
Issue 14 - Managing Employee Satisfaction,
Motivation And Retention
• IT-enabled outsourcing often involves challenges during
transition and deployment and service delivery
• High employee turnover jeopardises the service provider’s
ability to meet its clients’ requirements and undermines
their expected gains and performance levels
• Proactively monitoring and managing employee
satisfaction and motivation can improve personnel
retention and effectiveness
April 3, 2011 88
Issue 15 - Establishing And Maintaining An Effective
Work Environment
• A work environment that is well suited to the service being
delivered enables personnel to effectively perform their
work
• Also contributes to employee satisfaction and retention
April 3, 2011 89
Issue 16 - Maintaining A Competitive Advantage
• Service providers need to effectively demonstrate their
capabilities relative to competitors
• Initially done to differentiate the service provider from the
competition in such a way that they will be chosen over
other providers
• Done to continually improve the organisation’s capabilities
and demonstrate to clients that the current service
provider is the organisation best equipped to meet clients’
changing needs
• Important aspect of being competitive is demonstrating
financial stability and longevity
April 3, 2011 90
Issue 17 - Innovating, Building Flexibility and Increasing
Responsiveness To Meet Unique And Evolving Client
Requirements
• Successful outsourcing engagements are those where the
service provider is able to be flexible and responsive to
clients’ changing needs
• Adopting innovations is one way to add value and meet
new needs
• Actively manage the performance of the organisation and
continuously improve its capabilities
April 3, 2011 91
Issue 18 - Managing Rapid Technological Shifts And
Maintaining The Availability, Reliability, Accessibility And
Security Of Technology
• Technology is a key component of IT outsourcing such as
public cloud
• Challenges for the service provider include keeping pace
with rapid changes in technology and effectively managing
the technology infrastructure while changes are
incorporated
April 3, 2011 92
Issue 19 - Capturing And Using Knowledge
• Managing knowledge is critical to a service provider’s
ability to avoid rework and improve the consistency and
quality of work performed by personnel
• includes the effective storage, retrieval and use of
knowledge gained on engagements
April 3, 2011 93
Issue 20 - Smoothly Transferring Services And
Resources
• A common cause of failure in outsourcing is the ineffective
management of the transfer of services and resources to
and from the service provider leading to service delivery
problems
• Successful service providers rigorously control the transfer
of services and resources to ensure that the new service
provider is able to adequately deliver the service and that
service continuity is maintained
April 3, 2011 94
Issue 21 - Maintaining Continuity Of The Service
Delivery
• Effectiveness of outsourcing is related to the service
provider’s ability to maintain service continuity despite any
problems that arise
• Successful providers manage service continuity by
effectively controlling and preventing problems during
service delivery, preparing and responding to threats and
coordinating the transfer of service during periods of
transition
April 3, 2011 95
Issue 22 - Capturing And Transferring Knowledge
Gained To The Client During Contract Completion
• Frequent concern of clients who consider outsourcing is
that in-house knowledge will be eroded, making it
impossible to bring outsourced services back in-house
• Successful service providers address this concern by
making provisions for capturing and transferring
knowledge back to the client during contract completion
April 3, 2011 96
Issue 23 - Measuring And Analysing The Reasons for
Termination to prevent Reoccurrence
• Termination may happen for a number of reasons,
including an inability of the service provider to meet
changing client needs, resolve problems, meet
commitments, or match the capabilities of competitors
• Analysing the reasons for termination and taking action
based on the findings helps to prevent issues from
recurring with other clients and ensure the long-term
success of the service provider

Structured Approach to Implementing and Operating Outsourcing and Managed Services for Suppliers and Outsourcing Organisations

  • 1. Structured Approach to Implementing and Operating Outsourcing and Managed Services for Suppliers and Outsourcing Organisations Alan McSweeney
  • 2. April 3, 2011 2 Objectives • Describe at a high-level a structured approach to implementing outsourcing/managed services from both service provider and end-user organisation
  • 3. April 3, 2011 3 Scope • Provide a high-level view of a common set of processes to be used by service providers and end-user organisations to implement and operate an outsourcing/managed services arrangement
  • 4. April 3, 2011 4 Topics • Introduction − Overview − Risks and Lessons Learned − Principles of Outsourcing and Core Competencies − Phases of Outsourcing Relationship • Outsourcing for Service Providers − Phases of Outsourcing Relationship − Key Issues For Successful Outsourcing − Key Capabilities and Constituent Practices • Outsourcing for End-User Organisations − Outsourcing Challenges − Key Issues For Successful Outsourcing − Key Capabilities and Constituent Practices
  • 5. April 3, 2011 5 What is Outsourcing? • Outsourcing is delegating the responsibility for performing an information technology or business function to a third party • You outsource because the outsourcing supplier will do: − What the organisation currently does − At the same or better level of performance − For the same or lower price
  • 6. April 3, 2011 6 Potential Advantages of Managed Services • Better Use of Staff: allows agencies to focus human resources on strategic planning and core mission support • Cost Savings: choose not to build and support IT and network infrastructure available in the commercial sector; use limited capital to purchase needed service levels and reduce total cost of ownership • Ability to Use Optimal Technologies: adjust types and mix of hardware, software, skilled labour, capital investment and technology to support changes in mission needs • Rapid Response to Organisation and Business Changes: supplier is measured by ability to produce solutions
  • 7. April 3, 2011 7 Types of Outsourcing Arrangement • Efficiency/Utility (Make it Cheaper) arrangement outsourcing focuses primarily on cost control and, over time, cost reduction, with the goal of maintaining consistency in the delivery of services • Business Enhancement (Make it Better) arrangement is about business productivity. The organisation’s performance, as compared with their competitors, will improve, resulting in movement toward defined business goals • Transformational (Make me Money) arrangement is characterised by a partnership between the service provider and service recipient that is focused on innovation and new business, changing the very basis on which an organisation competes
  • 8. April 3, 2011 8 Benefits of Managed Services • Managed Services offers an alternative approach for a client to acquire IT or telecom support services − Managed services solutions are designed and delivered by service providers according to a predefined statement of deliverables and generally includes end-to-end service, service level agreements, and assets (if desired) • A managed service typically includes monthly recurring service-based pricing offering a more predictable cost approach for the client • Ongoing visibility of operational performance is provided and managed through pre-agreed performance parameters (known as service-level agreements) − The client may include their unique performance requirements such as degree of control and visibility, security, availability, capacity, service continuity and other requirements as it relates to the specific service • Because this is a core competency, the service provider is able to optimise the best balance of facilities, processes, resources, tools, and metrics, resulting in the best overall value for the client − Cost effectiveness is typically achieved through instituting process standards and establishing and supporting a standard operating environment (SOE) consisting of COTS (Commercial Off the Shelf) services and solutions • Managed services can be delivered either in a BOCO (Business-owned, contractor- operated) or COCO (contractor-owned, contractor-operated) model and is largely based on client preference
  • 9. April 3, 2011 9 Outsourcing Organisations - Developing a Vision for IT Services is Required • What do we do today? • What do our customers want us to do? • What changes do we need to make to align with our customers needs? • How will they pay for those services? • How will we deliver those services consistently and measure their delivery? • What kind of organisation (Governance/Contract Management/Structures/Staff/Skills/Service Providers) will we need to achieve it? • What service management processes we should use?
  • 10. April 3, 2011 10 Reasons Organisations Outsource 17% 16% 12% 12% 8% 6% 6% 4% 3% 3% Reduce And Control Operating Costs Improve Company Focus Gain Access To World-Class Capabilities Free Resources For Other Purposes Resources Not Available Internally Reduce Time To Market Take Advantage Of Capabilities Accelerate Reengineering Benefits Share Risks Function Difficult To Manage Or Out Of Control
  • 11. April 3, 2011 11 Outsourcing Experiences • 13% to 25% of outsourcing contracts are brought in-house within the first two years • Buyers replace 80% of their service contractors in the first three years • Contractors turn over 40% of their contracts each year, on average • Nearly 70% outsourcing organisations feel their service provider does adequately understand what they are supposed to do • Not good
  • 12. April 3, 2011 12 Key Issues For Successful Outsourcing • Many outsourcing relationships fail, are terminated early, are unsatisfactory to either or both of the service provider and the client • Outsourcing is a business issues and should be treated as such • Many common issues, problems and concerns arise across outsourcing contracts • Learn from the issues to avoid them
  • 13. April 3, 2011 13 Hidden Costs of Outsourcing • Transfer of knowledge − Processes and procedures − Documentation − Personal knowledge • Quality issues and their resolution − Inspection programmes − Sustaining quality programmes − Cost of rework • Communication − Poor customer service − Daily operational issues
  • 14. April 3, 2011 14 Cease's Law on the Nature of the Firm • A firm will tend to expand until the cost of organizing an extra transaction within the firm become equal to the costs of carrying out the same transaction on the open market • This means when it is cheaper to buy the service externally it will generally be bought externally • However there is an assumption of perfect knowledge and perfectly rational use of this knowledge to achieve the most logical solution • In reality this perfection is rarely if ever achieved − Other less rational factors affect the decision • Everybody Else Is Doing It • I Want To Do It So It Appears On My Resume • I Like New Technology • Vendors Keep Talking About It • I Need One Good Idea To Stamp My Mark On The Organization • It Will Solve All My Problems • I Hate Dealing With IT • I Do Not Want to Setup a Large IT Function • Cost estimates are rarely accurate − What we know about most projects is that they either or both overrun on costs and deliver less than expected − Cost overruns are generally caused by a mix of errors in the initial cost estimates and deliberate distortions in order to cause the decision to be made
  • 15. April 3, 2011 15 Transaction Costs • Along with production costs, there are costs for preparing, entering into and monitoring the execution of all kinds of contracts as well as costs for implementing allocation and tracking measures for the contracted services • When internal transaction costs become greater than the costs of externally sourcing the service, the service will be obtained externally • There are hidden costs associated with sourcing a service externally − Selecting the wrong supplier − Costs of writing contract − Costs of enforcing contract − Having a poor service contract that results in hidden cost and/or reduced service − Overlooking personnel issues − Loosing control over the outsourced activity − Management, quality assurance and supervision overhead − Implementation and termination costs − Loss of flexibility − Loss of integration between applications and data − Data extraction costs − Security framework implementation • Transition to utility computing model requires full knowledge of costs – current and future • Note that anything can be outsourced except the management of what is outsourced
  • 16. April 3, 2011 16 Outsourcing Planning • Structured approach can form the basis for an outsourcing implementation plan for both service providers and for companies performing outsourcing
  • 17. April 3, 2011 17 Sample Service Transfer Plan – Outsourcing Service Provider • Plan subset • Based on activities − 1 Service Transfer • 1.1 Resources Transferred In • 1.2 Personnel Transferred In • 1.3 Service Continuity
  • 18. April 3, 2011 18 Sample Service Transfer Plan – Outsourcing Organisation • Plan subset • Based on activities − 1 Outsourcing Opportunity Analysis • 1.1 Define Current State • 1.2 Outsourcing Criteria • 1.3 Demand Identification • 1.4 Outsourcing Options
  • 19. April 3, 2011 19 Where Outsourcing Problems Happen • Inadequate Preparation = Problems Start Here • Flawed Service Provider Selection = Project Failure Starts Here • Unclear Contract = Conflict Begins Here • Wrong Performance Measurement = Management Failure Starts Here • Ineffective Ongoing Management = Service Delivery Problems Start Here
  • 20. April 3, 2011 20 Risks in Outsourcing – Lots of Them Outsourcing Risks Strategic Reputation Compliance Operational Termination Financial Country Contract Access Concentration/Systemic
  • 21. April 3, 2011 21 Strategic Risks • Outsourcing provider may conduct activities that are inconsistent with the overall strategic goals of the outsourcer • Outsourcer fails to implement appropriate and effective oversight of the outsourcing provider • Outsourcer has inadequate expertise to oversee the outsourcing provider
  • 22. April 3, 2011 22 Reputational Risks • Outsourcing provider delivers a poor service • Outsourcer’s customer service does not meet expectations in areas serviced by outsourcing provider • Outsourcing provider practices do not comply with stated practices of outsourcer
  • 23. April 3, 2011 23 Compliance Risks • Outsourcing provider does not comply with relevant laws and regulations • Outsourcing provider does not comply with consumer laws • Outsourcing provider has inadequate compliance systems and control
  • 24. April 3, 2011 24 Operational Risks • Outsourcing provider experiences technology failures that impact outsourcer • Outsourcing provider has inadequate financial capacity to fulfil obligations and/or provide remedies in the event of failure or breach • Outsourcing provider experiences fraud or error • Outsourcer experiences difficulties or high costs in undertaking inspections
  • 25. April 3, 2011 25 Termination Risks • Outsourcer has no exit strategy are not in place because of from over-reliance on one provider or the loss of relevant in-house skills • Ability to return services from outsourcing provider is difficult, time-consuming or costly because of a lack of staff or loss of intellectual capacity
  • 26. April 3, 2011 26 Financial Risks • Inadequate cost controls and charging mechanism leads to unexpectedly higher costs for outsourcer • Changes to services requested from outsourcing provider are very expensive
  • 27. April 3, 2011 27 Country Risks • Outsourcer cannot enforce contract • Incorrect selection of applicable legal jurisdiction
  • 28. April 3, 2011 28 Access Risks • Outsourcing arrangement negatively impacts ability to provide accurate and timely information • There is an additional layer of complexity in understanding activities of the outsourcing provider
  • 29. April 3, 2011 29 Concentration/Systemic Risks • Concentration of services from multiple outsourcers in small number of outsourcing providers can mean lack of control by individual outsourcer and overall systemic risk
  • 30. April 3, 2011 30 Lessons Learned from Outsourcing Problems • Smoothly Transferring Services And Resources − Common cause of failure is the ineffective management of the transfer of services and resources to the service provider, leading to service delivery problems − Successful service providers rigorously control the transfer of services and resources to ensure that the new service is able to adequately deliver the service and the service continuity is maintained. • Maintaining Stakeholder Expectations − Common source of failure in outsourcing engagements is a difference in expectations between the client, the service provider and the suppliers and partners − Identifying and managing those expectations helps to ensure a common understanding of what is necessary for success • Translating Implicit And Explicit Needs Into Defined Requirements With Agreed Upon Levels Of Quality − Frequent cause of failure in outsourcing is that the service provider does not fully understand the needs of the client − Successful service providers rigorously gather and analyse the stated and unstated needs, then translate those needs into a set of documented requirements − Successful service providers also recognise that needs change over time and establish provisions for gathering and analysing modifications to their services
  • 31. April 3, 2011 31 Lessons Learned from Outsourcing Problems • Reviewing Service Design And Deployment To Ensure An Adequate Coverage Of The Client’s Requirements − Failure in outsourcing is caused by the service provider not fully addressing the needs of the client − To ensure that the service delivery will meet the client’s needs successful engagements include rigorous reviews of the service design and deployment activities by the clients and the service provider prior to service delivery • Managing Client’s Security − Managing security and controlling critical data and assets are critical to establishing trust − Security management includes protection of intellectual property, confidentiality and privacy concerns • Monitoring And Controlling Activities To Consistently Meet The Service Delivery Commitments − Successful service providers rigorously monitor their service delivery activities to ensure that the client’s commitments are being met − Actions are taken to resolve and prevent problems, thereby escalating issues as appropriate to ensure that they are addressed in a timely basis
  • 32. April 3, 2011 32 Lessons Learned from Outsourcing Problems • Monitoring And Managing Client’s And End User’s Satisfaction − Success is not always defined in terms of meeting the agreed upon commitments, because clients and end users may be unsatisfied even when commitments are being met − Successful outsourcing engagements monitor the satisfaction levels of the stakeholders to identify problems and take action • Managing Employee Satisfaction, Motivation, And Retention − IT-enabled outsourcing often involves challenges during transition, deployment and service delivery − High employee turnover jeopardises the service provider’s ability to meet its client’s requirements and undermines their expected gains and performance levels − Proactively monitoring and managing employee satisfaction and motivation can improve personnel retention and effectiveness • Managing Technological Shifts And Maintaining The Availability, Reliability, Accessibility, And Security Of Technology − Technology is a key component of outsourcing − Major challenges for the service provider include keeping pace with rapid changes in technology and effectively managing the technology infrastructure while changes are incorporated
  • 33.
