1. The trend to outsource IT tasks and processes continues unabated, yet in the last few years it has become clear
that the results do not always match up to expectations. That applies especially to the king of all IT disciplines:
application development. For an outsourcing project to succeed it is not enough to select the right provider and
have a good sourcing strategy—it is just as essential to manage the relationship with your providers effectively.
Join our CIO Conference to discuss the importance of ensuring two-way transparency between the service provider
and the end customer, and practical methods to achieve or increase this transparency.
You will have the opportunity to hear leaders and executives from industry, consulting firms and systems
integrators speak on the following topics:
Outsourcing 2.0: There is a clear need for more transparency – but where and at what level of granularity?
Transparency: The challenge of defining criteria correctly and identifying their characteristics
Agility: Outsourcing is supposed to increase agility and responsiveness to end users. So how to work with
vendor to ensure ongoing responsiveness and reduce risk to the business?
There will also be networking opportunities to discuss your experience with peers from a range of industries.

9:40 – 10:10 Outsourcing: 7 Pitfalls in Transition and Transformation
Jörg Hild, Partner IT Sourcing Advisory, PwC
During the outsourcing process, transferring service provision to a new supplier is a substantial and
critical phase. This is particularly the case when transitioning application development, where the
transparency and traceability of the services being provided are a decisive factor in the project’s
success. In this area, unseen pitfalls can arise that often make all the difference to whether a
company’s outsourcing goals are achieved or not.
