IT Outsourcing - Optimisation vs. Dependency

Why should you outsource your IT services? This question is mostly linked to three expectations

• Cost reduction (Germany:70% / EU:35%)
• Concentration on core competences
• Allocation of key resources to more important tasks.

The motivation factor for IT outsourcing within the EU anticipates an increase in flexibility and speedup of business processes. Unfortunately in most cases these expectations can not be realised because only ~35% of the companies have prepared and basic Outsourcing-Strategy, which should contain:

• mid- and long-term targets to be achieved together with the outsourcing partner
• measurable success factors
• flexibility in the relationship between the partners

Key factors of success in outsourcing agreements are the appropriate service-levels, flexibility and well established understanding between the partners. Outsourcing contracts primarily trying to achieve short-term cost reductions will fail mid-term in all probability.

Software Evaluation - spoilt for choice

The variety in the software economy seems to be like myths in Arabian Nights. Multifarious, magical and dazzling.

The disillusion starts by switching on the system in daily business. Functions are not accurately implemented, screens are overloaded or simply existing processes have been reproduced in new but expensive applications without significant improvements. Subsequent modifications and maintenance will easily exceed the original budget.

A method based software evaluation, with

• strategic vision incl. economic target, budget, schedule
• potential analysis of process (+BPR)
• homogeneous and inter-coordinated user requirement / functional specification
• objective software- / partner evaluation
• information management
• training, test and acceptance
• continuous improvement
• integration by reasonable interfaces
• …

can achieve the target of a transparent, company orientated and optimised software evaluation, implementation and integration with benefits for customer, employees and your company.
