Similar to X-as-a-Service: Impact on the Global Sourcing Market (20)
On-premises, consumption-based private cloud creates opportunity for enterpri...Stanton Jones
The document discusses a new "on-premises, consumption-based private cloud" (OPCB) model for data storage that combines the benefits of public and private clouds. It provides flexibility and cost savings like public clouds through usage-based pricing, but with the security, control and data sovereignty of private clouds by hosting the infrastructure on-site. The OPCB model addresses enterprises' needs to reduce costs while the pace of data growth prevents waiting for public cloud issues to be resolved. It evaluates this model for customers who value data sovereignty and flexibility without full operational control of traditional private clouds.
Multi-sourcing and functional out-taskingStanton Jones
Service integration will become imperative as multi-sourcing and confederation bring new players, more automation, and more discrete solutions to the sourcing market. Sourcing models are shifting from strategic and selective sourcing to multi-sourcing and confederation, with functions being split across multiple internal and external providers. This will require integrating services from various towers and providers. Labor arbitrage will decrease in importance while automation, software, platforms and scalability increase in significance for sourcing models and deals.
Enterprise SaaS: A Mismatch Made in HeavenStanton Jones
Enterprise demand for SaaS is surging. Providers are building, acquiring and partnering SaaS platforms at a breakneck pace. What happens when they meet?
The document outlines different cloud deployment and service models. Public clouds use shared infrastructure while private clouds have dedicated infrastructure. It notes opportunities in public clouds around innovation, economies of scale, and speed to market but also perceived risks regarding security and privacy. It shows infrastructure as a service (IaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and business process as a service (BPaaS) as common cloud service models.
Cloud Trends: What Clients Want; What Providers are DeliveringStanton Jones
The document discusses cloud services and what clients want from providers. It covers three main topics: 1) How the rise of cloud-as-a-service models is changing sourcing relationships and requiring internal transformation. 2) What the market is seeing in terms of adoption of SaaS and IaaS and the focus on standardization. 3) Recommendations for providers to help clients understand the strategic value of cloud and provide reference examples.
Sourcing Trends: Challenges and Opportunities Facing Service ProvidersStanton Jones
The document discusses trends in outsourcing and sourcing. It notes that sourcing decisions have evolved from strategic to more tactical over the past decade. Functional outsourcing and service integration are emerging as growth areas as technologies evolve. Labor arbitrage provided cost savings of 15-30% through access to low-cost labor, while labor automation could provide even higher savings of 40-60% by codifying manual processes. However, service integration will be needed to govern outsourcing without sub-optimization of solutions. The "CIO agenda" aims to bring sourcing decisions back under the purview of the CIO as the market changes rapidly and sourcing of new technologies becomes more nuanced.
HR in the cloud is a growing trend, with market forces pushing HR systems and processes to software-as-a-service (SaaS) models. However, SaaS alone does not address the need to outsource routine transaction processing and call center support. While SaaS solutions continue gaining traction, acquisitions by large vendors are also consolidating the market. Considerations for buyers include verifying capabilities for global payroll, integration, mobile access, and reducing customizations versus outsourcing transaction processing and help desk support through an HR business process outsourcing provider.
Minefield? Or Greenfield? Mid-Market Sourcing StrategiesStanton Jones
Mid-tier companies have significant untapped potential for outsourcing but have not embraced it like larger G2000 companies. There are initial steps companies can take to determine objectives and scope as well as common mistakes to avoid. As companies gain experience, they can take outsourcing to the next level through multi-sourcing, governance, and process optimization. Cloud computing is also an important component that can lower costs and speeds. Success requires knowledge of capabilities, standards, and negotiation expertise. Resources like ISG provide data, insights, and experts to help companies make smart sourcing decisions at various stages of maturity.
The ‘as-a-Service' Phenomenon: The Market is Changing, Are You?Stanton Jones
This document discusses the rise of the "as-a-Service" model and its implications. Key points:
1) The services sector has grown significantly as economies develop, similar to how enterprise IT is shifting from buying raw materials to consuming standardized, subscription-based services.
2) This represents both opportunities and disruptions for IT providers and consumers as platforms, skills, suppliers, and relationships change.
3) Characteristics of the "as-a-Service" model include subscription pricing, standardized/updated features, multi-tenant architectures, APIs, and online communities.
4) Drivers include technology innovations, cost pressures, and frustration with traditional IT projects - leading most vendors to invest in the
Minefield? Or Greenfield? Challenges and Opportunities for Mid-Tier Sourcing ...Stanton Jones
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for mid-sized companies outsourcing IT systems and business processes. It notes that while outsourcing can provide benefits like cost reductions, increased agility and focus on core competencies, mid-sized companies often lack experience managing outsourcing relationships. The document provides advice on developing a sourcing strategy, understanding existing environments, managing providers, and leveraging outsourcing to enable growth. It also discusses opportunities in cloud computing, business process outsourcing and procurement outsourcing for mid-sized companies.
This document discusses how large organizations can balance flexibility and oversight when adopting cloud technologies. While cloud offers benefits like on-demand resources and pay-as-you-go models, it can undermine IT's control if not properly governed. Effective cloud initiatives must be integrated into existing service delivery models and governance mechanisms are needed to ensure alignment with business needs over time. Key areas for governance include demand management, capacity planning, service level management, and invoice/chargeback management. Governance helps organizations maximize cloud benefits while mitigating risks.
Enterprise Mobile: Say Goodbye to the StandardStanton Jones
The document discusses how mobile devices are disrupting traditional IT standardization in the workplace. It notes that mobile shipments now outpace PC shipments and mobile operating systems are expanding rapidly. This is creating a collision between the growing use of mobile technologies by employees and IT's goal of standardization. The document examines the "Theory X" and "Theory Y" responses IT organizations may have and argues that a "flexible standardization" approach is needed to embrace the unstoppable trend of mobile while still addressing security, manageability and cost concerns. It recommends carving time and budget to experiment with new technologies, engaging in open conversations, and letting users help solve problems.
