With serious sourcing challenges facing today’s OEMs, we simultaneously see new trends emerging in IT sourcing, that
enable OEMs to achieve their outsourcing goal

IT SOURCING
TRENDS
Lack of efficiency:
• Complex multi-layered IT services from a globally
distributed supplier landscape may lead to inefficiencies in
workflows and scaling efforts
• Low in-house production depth in areas where insourcing
should be considered (core/non-core)
• Lack of initiative in licensing and contract consolidation
Lack of transparency:
• Lack of transparency and heterogeneous service portfolios
in OEM subsidiaries due to organic growth/new entities
• Lack of transparency and clarity on true value-add of IT
services, raising doubts about positive ROI
Lack of flexibility:
• Traditional contracts with sourcing partners may not be
flexible enough to address dynamic need changes
• Slow and weak collaboration between supplier and internal
teams may limit quick, agile actions
Lack of sustainable resilience:
• Weak partnerships within the ecosystem can make
processes less resilient when unexpected disruptions occur
• Designing resilience into the sourcing strategy may lead to
additional costs, but proof only in the long-run

Cost Flexibility Speed to market Access to tools
and processes
Agility
• Before the COVID-19 crisis, outsourcing companies were trying to achieve
goals other than cost reduction, such as speed to market, faster scaling or
user experience enhancement*
• In 2020, reducing costs became critical once again, as shut-downs and the
uncertain economic environment shifted the focus to business survival
• Outsourcing is still seen as an enabler of business transformation, however,
particularly in fields, such as Robotic Process Automation (RPA) or cloud
computing, according to the Deloitte survey results*
• Overall, not only has the goal of outsourcing changed, the sourcing
dimensions are constantly shifting as well (see next slide)
• Sourcing decisions play a significantly more strategic role as a result, in both
short-term organizational resilience and long-term business growth

The current trends in IT sourcing reflect the broader technology trends in the automotive industry, from cloud
computing and automation to innovation and agility
IT Sourcing Trends
 Cloud disruption and BPaaS offer opportunities to cut
costs
 Increased Tier 1 competition among suppliers
 Regulatory and industry focus on third-party risk
 Increased vendor management spend
 Automotive industry-specific solutions instead of
standardized offerings with no customization
 Data privacy laws and regulations
Change in landscape Shift in “art of the deal”
Technology adoption
 Cloud Reality/Native, i.e., exploitation of the advantages in the
cloud computing delivery model
 Digital exploration of new technologies via sourcing
 Amplified Intelligence, i.e., deploying tools exactly when a
business really needs them for more effective decision-making
 Cognitive Analytics, i.e., the option to apply human-level
intelligence in certain tasks to enable advanced sourcing
 Innovation incubators for new sourcing approaches
 Multi-Sourcing, i.e., contracts with several suppliers
 “Vertical slice” sourcing
 Emergence of alliances, joint ventures, and utilities
 Evolution of ‘ecosystem’ models
 Convergence of IT Outsourcing (ITO), Business Process
Outsourcing (BPO) and Shares Services (SS)
 GBS, captive, co-source and mixed models
 Insourcing key roles to maintain NextGen Talent Model
Shifts in sourcing patterns • Integrated Vendor Models – Integrated multi-
vendor relationships offering seamless service
delivery (e.g., Global Business Services - GBS)
• Cloud –Now that we have overcome the
security hurdle and all infrastructure will go to
cloud, influencing application models and the
role of IT in business decisions
• Agile Contract – Agreements that are stripped
down to fundamentals, with issues posed as
questions/hypotheses instead of detailed
service requests
• Focus on “The Customer” – Reorienting
services into models that fully support
business processes and identify new revenue
streams (e.g., Intellectual Property - IP)
• Transformation-Enabled – Leveraging
partners as a catalyst for change or
transforming/evolving the talent model
• Decrease of offshore and increase of robotics
– Aggressive automation for commoditized
tasks both on-shore, off-shore and in business
processes
• “As a Service” model – Everything goes utility
• Strategic Advisory – With increased deal
complexity, the key is enabling alignment to
strategic roadmap, integration and design of
target delivery model/industry expertise
 Utility and consumption-based pricing models through options
such as on-premise service
 Ecosystem plays, i.e., flexible and evolving network of
relationships between outsourcing providers
 Outcome-driven sourcing
 Transparency and granularity
 Moving back to semi-customized sourcing approaches
 Renewed focus on partnerships with strategic collaboration
Future: IT Sourcing 3.0
Shifts in Sourcing Dimensions

4. Automotive IT Strategy 2021

There are four typical sourcing dimensions to consider when making outsourcing decisions – with support of Deloitte’s
Sourcing Matrix, users can assess the suitability of an IT function or service area based on maturity and importance
Approaching IT Outsourcing
Sourcing – Ready (Cost Effectiveness)
• IT function/service activities are standardized and controlled via KPIs
• IT function/service deliverables are structured
• The IT function/service has defined interfaces with adjacent areas
• Look for cost advantage on external market
Consider Standardization
• IT function/service activities are not standardized and often reactive
• KPIs are not quantifiable or well controlled
• IT function/service interfaces are not defined or managed, making it difficult to externalize
Keep Core Competency
• High complexity of IT function/service activities
• Deliverables have high business impact
• Project/product delivery quality is often difficult to quantify
• IT function/service is often very integrated into IT service landscape
Potential Sourcing Target (Capabilities)
• IT function/service activities are complex, non-standardized and often reactive
• The IT service/function deliverables have high impact on business
• Look for excellence on external market

Based on our recent projects from the automotive industry, we have identified several learnings that were most
effective in overcoming outsourcing challenges
Deloitte’s IT Sourcing Lessons Learned
• Multiple vendor environments require co-ordination, collaboration and integration
for the model to succeed.
• An effective service integration capability is essential to mitigate the risks of multi-
sourcing, ensuring that all vendors work together to provide a service that not only
meets business needs but drives the generation of business value.
• Finding appropriate incentives for vendors is increasingly important to align goals
and drive collective success or failure: pooled service credits and shared penalties
promote knowledge sharing and cross-company collaboration within the ecosystem.
• The most important capabilities for the automotive IT organizations are:
Service
integration
Service integration layer in place to manage supplier performance,
facilitate service delivery and take overall responsibility for technology
platforms.
Supplier
relationship
mgmt.
Manage alliances within a multi-vendor landscape and ensure vendors
are meeting their contractual obligations, from cloud provider to
connected vehicle service partner.
Innovation fund
management
Support vendors with innovative solutions, from budgeting to trial and
testing of new technologies within dedicated sand-pit environments in
the business.
Service
management
Suppliers who deliver elements of end-to-end services will be
accountable to service owners, e.g., to the feature product owner of an
autonomous driving service.
Revised sourcing mix with strategic models balancing core internal IT
capabilities and captive/outsourcing options
Typical Project Focus Winning Themes & Lessons Learned
On-demand, elastic deals over the long-term, fixed-scope contracts and
integrating suppliers into a plug-and-play ecosystem
Future-oriented target service portfolio and IT operating model
increasing end-to-end delivery efficiency and IT effectiveness
Optimized service delivery unit structure (captive IT and legal entity IT)
improving strategic focus and service portfolio
Renewed contract models achieving savings potential, cost and
performance transparency as well as financial flexibility
Consolidated supplier landscape to improve cost efficiency, innovation
and scalability in “commodity type” IT services
Preferred set of key suppliers to support business continuity while also
enabling the digital transformation journey
