While the
outcome of global sourcing has been quite successful, the sourcing experience
for many has been extremely challenging - from trying to figure out which
service provider to use, to how to mange the vendor relationship. In an
effort to manage risk in offshore outsourcing transactions, buyers have
overspent on long country and vender evaluations.
In the past this was perhaps a valid need, given the risk of the unknown.
Today, however, there is more than enough accurate and current data available
on offshore service providers to streamline the process. It is much more
important today to invest time and effort in your own organizational readiness
than finessing the vendor selection. The success of the global sourcing
initiative rests equally on the enterprise and the vendor.
Ahilia works with CEOs, CIOs, and strategy officers to help design, plan,
implement and manage global sourcing relationships, by:
- Focusing on internal organizational readiness for global sourcing
- Removing the need for long and expensive vendor evaluations
- Providing checklists, tools, and templates for all aspects of the
sourcing lifecycle
