Sourcing Implementation

Our competence area Sourcing Implementation delivers proven best practice modules for the implementation of their individual sourcing strategy to our clients. Our experiences and services range from the implementation of internal service units at near- or off-shoring locations, over the outsourcing of corresponding IT and BPO services to external service providers, to back- or insourcing of third-party services back into the internal organization or to a new service provider.

We conduct the analysis and documentation of the services (due diligence), the search for and assessment of suitable partners, and the tender and contract documents management with appropriate service levels, key performance indicators and pricing models. For negotiations, we support you with professionals with long-time experience in contract negotiation and market knowledge. Especially our experience in change management, creating professional internal provider management organizations, and proven risk limiting transition and re-integration methods are key success factors.
