Outsourcing Strategies Crushed by Technology
Even your most business-aligned outsourcing strategy can be crushed by the promise of emerging technologies. Sourcing strategies evolve over time and seem to revolve around current technology innovation that occurs in the marketplace. Clients will need to change their sourcing strategies; providers will need continued investment in select emerging technologies in order to capture the promised benefits of new IT service management models.
The Next Big Thing
Despite a lack of clarity around whether cloud services is the next evolution of IT service management models, it is increasingly clear to market influencers like Alsbridge that enterprises must re-evaluate their strategic sourcing alternatives.
Outsourcing Strategy Crushed
As the promise shows signs of commercial reality, the fundamentals of an outsourcing strategy will radically change for those who pursue emerging technologies. Below are some of the basic yet strategic components that are expanding beyond traditional methods:
Clients considering the application of emerging technologies must know if they are capable of successful implementation and risk absorption. The centuries-old, philosophical proverb to “First Know Thyself” resonates as strongly today as it ever did.
Contract Negotiation: Not the Same Old Game
Clients whose business and IT strategy may benefit from emerging technologies will find that the negotiation process has changed. Quite different from negotiating the nuances of roles, responsibilities and risk, the client may feel like negotiating onto the cloud is like getting on a bus than buying a car.
For further details on how clients can adapt their outsourcing strategy and providers in order to capture the promised benefits of new service delivery models, download the complete whitepaper below.

Outsourcing Strategy Crushed
As the promise shows signs of commercial reality, the fundamentals of an outsourcing strategy will radically change for those who pursue emerging technologies. Below are some of the basic yet strategic components that are expanding beyond traditional methods:
- Client goals and objectives will expand beyond the perennial need to reduce IT costs and improve service.
- Determining functional suitability for sourcing will expand beyond process risk assessment, labor arbitrage and economies of scale.
- Optimizing the client's organization will expand beyond developing the skills and processes for IT service management, contract governance and relationship management.
- Business case development will place greater emphasis on business processes that significantly improve existing or enable new business outcomes and meet the client's ability to accept a greater risk of disruption.
- Designing the solution will require continuous executive attention to details.
